Re: Assistance re:scam

[Steven Ahlers]

As a long time user of OpenOffice and Mac computers I would be hesitant to open 
software that the Gatekeeper blocked when someone else (that I didn’t know) had 
loaded that software onto the computer.

“Open Office cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified”
It doesn' t necessarily mean the OO code had malware, just that it was an
unsigned executable. Windows 11 now also prevents unsigned apps from
running, by default, showing a "blue shileld" screen.
This happens to totally legit and safe apps, like Coolterm
https://freeware.the-meiers.org/

On Win11, you disable it using the Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc).

On Mac, the procedure is outlined here

[W. Robert J. Funnell, Prof.]

Michael -

I'm sorry to hear about your problem. I don't believe that the OpenOffice 
project had anything to do with taking your money.

What was the contact information for the supposed 'help desk', and where did 
you get the information from? Whoever gave you the information was probably 
involved in the scam. I assume that you gave the information to your bank?

Good morning,
Firstly my experience. Early this month I purchased an Apple IMac from a 
company OURDEAL. The purchase came with a free copy of your OPENOFFICE 
software. This package could not be loaded giving the error message “Open 
Office cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. Mac OS cannot 
verify that this APP is free from Malware”
I contacted OurDeal who advise me to contact yourselves. This I did and prior’s 
to giving my problems was invited to pay one pound to access your help desk. 
After detailing the above problem I was left hanging for 15 minutes so I closed 
the call.
Today Find that you have taken 40 pounds from my bank account. WHY?
I find that I cannot re access your system giving my Email details and password 
I entered at the time. I have contacted my bank and their FRAUD office is 
investigating the issue.
I am a 76 yr old guy with very little IT knowledge so I ask you Please as a 
gesture of honesty to refund this money to my bank asap and to ensure no 
further payments are deducted from my bank account. I understand that my banks 
Fraud dept will be in contact with you regarding this matter.
Meanwhile I look forward to hearing from you without any further delay,
Yours faithfully,
Michael Constable

In addition to previous comment, know that OpenOffice and OpenOffice
volunteer support are free.

However you must access the correct websites, the actual OpenOffice
websites, to use them

The OpenOffice website is https://www.openoffice.org/

OpenOffice support options are at
https://www.openoffice.org/support/index.html#community-support. This page
provides links to the free user support communities.

You will notice, none of these pages require payment to use them.

If you do download OpenOffice from the official website there will be a
prompt asking for a donation. That prompt DOES NOT require a donation to be
able to perform the download.

This is sad.  I would just about wager that the media you received or
website was loaded with malware.  At least you have a Mac.  That is what
protected your info.  Just follow the directions from Apache and you should
be fine.
Sorry for the bad experience.

Hello from Paris !

All my support and consideration for all you do.
It is remarkable.

Unfortunately it is not for me as I am only a lambda user very satisfied
with Apache and the rest.
I do not want to miss an occasion to let an official know.

Carry on your good work.
One suggestion : Make mire easy for users to suggest areas of improving.

Support on this list and on the User Group Forum at 
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/ is given by volunteers in their own time 
on a pro bono basis.

1) Use /Edit /Find and Replace.  In Find box enter two spaces, in Replace box 
enter one space, press Replace all button

2) /Insert /Field : Page number. If it is on a grey background (non printing) 
/View /Field shading.  If it shows "Page Number" in place of the actual number 
/View /Field Names.

3) Dash replacement is enabled by a setting in /Tools /Autocorrect Options: 
Options tab.  There should be a tick in both the M and T columns against 
"Replace dashes".  These are replaced according to these entries:

"Replace Dashes
Replaces one or two hyphens with a long dash (see the following table).
Text will be replaced after you type a trailing white space (space, tab, or 
return). In the following table, the A and B represent text consisting of 
letters A to Z or digits 0 to 9.
Text that you type: Result that you get:
A - B (A, space, minus, space, B)   A – B (A, space, en-dash, 
space, B)
A -- B (A, space, minus, minus, space, B)   A – B (A, space, en-dash, 
space, B)
A--B (A, minus, minus, B)   A—B (A, em-dash, B)
(see note below the table)
A-B (A, minus, B)   A-B (unchanged)
A -B (A, space, minus, B)   A -B (unchanged)
A --B (A, space, minus, minus, B)   A –B (A, space, en-dash, B)

You can see this properly set out by /Tools /Autocorrect options and pressing 
the Help button on that page.  

4) You need to open another instance in Writer of the second file and position  
the two Writer windows side by side.  You will need to manually steer both to 
keep the files in sync.

5) The system should automatically highlight mis-spellings if a dictionary has 
been selected for the chosen language.

If you have queries on any of the above, please log on to the Forum at the 
above URL and state your problem.

You might find it useful to see some instructions.  Many have found this

1. will not change double space to single space
2. cannot insert page number; the page number continues to be highlighted.
3. cannot make a long dash after a word
4, I want to be able to compare two documents side by side

It will show “OpenOffice”. She can try “Force Quit” from the Apple menu to see 
if there is an OpenOffice already running.

The other question is if she is running from the installation disk or from the 
Applications folder. OpenOffice should be copied from the installation disk 
image to Applications in the Finder.

Dave

On the AOO-en Forum this is given; I think the solution may be applicable in 
this case:

Q01: How do I correct the following problem?:
The application "OpenOffice" was forced to quit while trying to restore its 
windows. Do you want to try to restore its windows again?

A01: This is a MacOS problem, typically created when your computer shuts down 
unexpecedly, such as battery failure in a laptop, or power failure in a 
desktop. Depending on your level of MacOS, the message may say "reopen" instead 
of "restore". Reinstalling OpenOffice will not fix the problem so downloading 
and reinstalling the application is a waste of your time. Creating a new 
profile (Q02/A02) for this message is also a waste of your time. Quit 
OpenOffice. If OpenOffice → Quit is does not terminate the program use  → 
Force Quit → OpenOffice → Force Quit.

In Finder use Go (menu) → Go to Folder → ~/Library/Saved Application State → 
OK. It is probably best to copy the path from this tutorial and paste it into 
the Go to Folder dialog. Locate org.openoffice.script.savedState in the list 
and drag it to the trash. Launch OpenOffice. That's a ~, not a -, before 
/Library. You must include the ~ in the 33-character folder name.

A link to the entry on the AOO-en Forum
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74=89283=420635

And the details are in A01 (Answer 01)

But note: I am not a Mac user, so the above suggestion is just a guess on my 
part.  However, I doubt it will cause the computer to explode (much!)

Re: Open Office Frozen Need assistance immediately

[Andrew Pitonyak]

I am not certain if Kate has subscribed so I am copying her directly. 

Kate is using a Mac that is 14 years old. The OS is version 10.11.6

When AOO is started, it wants to recover her files. But AOO hangs whether she 
tells it to recover the files or not (my words, not hers, so I might have the 
wording a bit wrong). What it really asks is if it should re-open the previous 
windows. This window hangs and she cannot do anything with it. 

So, first question. How can kate start AOO so that it will NOT prompt to 
recover files. Note that no data will be lost because everything is saved. 

Kate does not see a lock file in the directory, so there is probably not one. 

>From the finder window, she is able to open the file, but it seems like it is 
>running a second copy of AOO. I don't really know if it might really be 
>"OpenOffice" and not AOO. 

First question, how can she kill that initial window so that it stops coming up 
when the computer starts.

OpenOffice is a free program and in consequence can afford no customer support 
lines; this mailing list is manned by volunteers in their own time, on a pro 
bono basis.

Is the "Reopen or Close" message actually a "Recover or Close" message when you 
start OpenOffice?  If so, this is an indication that OpenOffice and the file 
were improperly closed on a previous use, perhaps by a program or computer 
crash, or perhaps by over hasty close down of the computer, before the 
OpenOffice housekeeping information had been written to disk. If the message is 
the "Recover or Close" message then select Recover and OpenOffice will attempt 
to recover the file.  If it is unable to do so, press Cancel, then open a 
backup or previously Saved version of the file.  It should then be able to 
/File /Export as PDF.

So honestly I still believe we might have some caching issue of sorts

This is what I used:

Firma: Includi la tua versione di OpenOffice e il sistema operativo su

surely works.


Then I got asked

I retried three times, and different modules would show up in the

text editor, I wrote "Writer" (note it's not Write but Writer).


This might be a caching issue on the forum. So my recommendation is that 
you try multiple times and always use "Writer" as the answer.


Please, if you try, let us know more details so that we can better 
investigate the possible bug.

There is no phone number for OpenOffice.  Everybody is a volunteer in open
source software.

What version are you using?  What operating system?  When did you first
have the problem.  Can you find your files in the system file manager?  Do
you know where you put them at the time you created them in your directory
structure?  Have you tried your system search capabilities?   If you know
where they are, do you have permissions to the directory(ies) where they
reside?

A few of the questions that will help the people here help you.

supporting material as required to efficiently and accurately process their 
request), this will enable TAC to announce successful awards shortly 
afterwards. 

As usual, TAC expects to deal with a range of applications from a diverse range 
of backgrounds. We therefore encourage (as always) anyone thinking about 
sending in an application to do so ASAP.   
We look forward to greeting many of you in Montreal

Kind Regards, 
Gavin - (On behalf of the Travel Assistance Committee)

My advice in my earlier postings on this thread was directed to the OP.  I have 
not time or inclination to address the unfamiliarity with use of Page Styles in 
OpenOffice reflected by some of the other posters, who may continue to use or 
not use Page Styles as they in their confusion may think fit.  

As I am about to travel abroad to fill a long standing commitment to attend an 
overseas conference  I will be offline for about a week and shall make no 
further contribution to this thread.

Simple ≠ usable.

More pointedly, the cited web page doesn't mention that for your
proposed solution, one creates that last page _first_.
(If you start with the first page, you triple the amount of work needed
to create pages that flow together properly.)

That bafflement is precisely why the OP should be told how complicated
their proposal is.
That the first hundred plus attempts to create the pages probably will
not produce the desired results.
(Maybe if somebody sends them detailed, step by step instructions, for
creating the first ten to twenty pages,
they might not give up in frustration. I pointedly will not write such
instructions, because it only not
only encourages non-existent project management and planning, but
actively promotes bad design.

I am trying to have a different header title on each page but it is

You should download and install OpenOffice on the new computer.
The only site from which OpenOffice should be downloaded is
http://www.openoffice.org/download

This site will redirect you to a SourceForge site and your download will start 
in about five seconds with no need to click on anything else (Do NOT click on 
anything else).

One can verify (and should verify) that the downloaded file is as it left the 
code factory by the methods described in
Apache OpenOffice - How to verify the integrity of the downloaded file?

As OO is opensource, many sites manipulate search engines so that they come 
high on the hit list, and compile OO with unwanted add-ons or charge for it 
with spurious offers of support.

We recommend downloading only from the above site and carrying out the 
integrity check before installing.

If installing a download from the above site Windows prompts for allowing 
changes,  you should answer "yes".

OpemOffice is a volunteer driven project where we give of our time on a pro 
bono basis; there are no provisions for remote intervention from this project 
on your computer whether for downloading or installation.

If you are in doubt about any of the download/installation steps, you should 
seek local informed help - often a computer informed student will be pleased to 
assist.

Hello Craig,

What you need is OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software. Windows does
not have native (comes with Windows) OCR as far as I know. The software
that comes with printers that have built in scanners may include OCR
software. There are also 3rd party OCR programs available.

Here's a link I found to Windows OCR programs. I'm not familiar with any of
them.

Re: New User; Request For Assistance/Tech Info; etc. "Tony Badger" to the Rescue?

[Anthony J. Rudgers]

Greetings Craig,

I've got a Canon Pixma MX870 multi-function printer w/ a Scanner.  First you 
have to go to the Canon website & download everything you can (all 
"utilities") related to your particular printer.  You'll eventually get 
something (a "shortcut"} on your "desktop" that says "Canon Solutions Menu." 
Click on it.  Choose the option "scan Photos & Docs."  Then click on "OCR." 
That means "optical character recognition," which lets your computer turn 
images of text into actual text.  Then put your document onto your printer's 
copier glass-plate input stage, go to your computer, & click on the "scan" 
button on the Canon screen.  The result will be an elementary text document 
somewhere on your computer.  My text scanned documents usually wind up in my 
"Pictures Library" in a folder called "MP Navigator EX."  But you may have 
to hunt down the saved scan copy down on your computer.  So give it a name, 
when you save it, that's easy to search for.  Once you've found your text 
document, open it & then Copy all the text therein onto your so-called 
Windows "clipboard."


Now open your favorite word processor to create a document.  Set up its 
initial formatting, & then Paste your copied text into the document you 
created.  Now go to work on its text just like you do for any other 
document!


Best wishes,

Anthony J. Rudgers (another non-"tecno-geek" "researcher/writer")

Thank you for your help Martin,

I would like to continue with the report being all on one sheet. In 
the end it will be about 55 pages long.


Your free to do everything you prefer, but you make maintenance a 
disaster when you want to
edit your forms. When you create each page on a new sheet you didn't 
have the current problems.
Secondly as all your headings are 90% the same it is easy to copy a 
sheet by selecting the Tab and Move/Copy Sheet from the drop down menu.


Can you tell me how to do the following

POSITION THE PICRURE IN THE CELL?

/Is that just a case of paste it there/

Make sure the Cell or Merged Cells are greater that the picture. Drag 
your picture inside
the Merged Cells. Select Position and size with your Right Mouse Button 
and tick the Protect field.

Select Anchor  with your Right Mouse Button and select To Cell.


//

DEFINE PRINT RANGES?

Select the area you like to print and from the toolbar select Format -- 
Print Ranges .. Define

A print ranges is only applicable for the selected Sheet.


INSERT MANUAL PAGE BREAKS?

Select a Cell which should be on the next page and select Insert -- 
Manual Break ... Row Break


Thank you

And by the way please reply to the mailing list so anyone can answer / 
learn.

You will see in the top left corner of each page, I would like to

It doesn’t seem to matter, how I put it there. It moves around the
document. You can see it in the “print preview” and after you have
come in and out of the document, you can it moved.

I did try to merge cells to see if that would be what was needed,
but I cant work it out.


Make sure you position the picture in the cell anchor it to the cell.
You also need to define print ranges and insert manual page breaks.
Attached is the modified document.
I think you make your live much easier if you have each form in a 
separate sheet.

Re: Assistance Please

[Alexandro Colorado]

I recommend you to go to Tools - Options - OpenOffice Calc - View.
On the visual aid you disable the grid lines, and then click ok.
Now going to the zoom scale at the bottom right edge of the window you can
select something like 50% and see how the pages are rendered on your
spreadsheet and make the proper adjustments.

 Hello, I am hoping you can help me. I'm attempting to format my novel using 
 OpenOffice and am having difficulties with the page numbering. I'm entirely

 I've enlisted the Manual Break function, which works for me. The initial 
 blank pages and copyright is one break, unnumbered. Next, for my contents and 
 preamble I have another break, numbered with roman numerals, then my title 
 page (two pages, the second one blank), which I want unnumbered, and then the 
 prologue begins at Page 1.
  
 The problem is, even though the title page(s) are their own break, when I add 
 page numbering to the body of the book, page numbers then insert themselves 
 into the title page(s). If I delete them from the title page(s), they delete 
 themselves from the body of the book.
  
 How can I avoid this?

Page numbering is not a document property. It is a Page Style Property.  Every 
time you change the format of page numbering, such as On or Off, Roman 
numerals, Arabic numerals, etc, you need to use a different Page Style, which 
style is introduced by the /Insert /Break /Page Break mechanism. 

This tutorial on Page Numbering may help:

as may this on Page Styles and headers/footers
