Fwd: Travel Assistance applications open. Please inform your communities

[Peter kovacs]

Hello all,
Sorry for the delay.
I forward to a message received from TAC:

The Travel Assistance Committee (TAC) are pleased to announce that travel 
assistance applications for ApacheCon NA 2018 are now open!

We will be supporting ApacheCon NA Montreal, Canada on 24th - 29th September 
2018

 TAC exists to help those that would like to attend ApacheCon events, but are 
unable to do so for financial reasons. 
For more info on this years applications and qualifying criteria, please visit 
the TAC website at < http://www.apache.org/travel/ 
 >. Applications are now open and will close 1st 
May. 

Important: Applications close on May 1st, 2018. Applicants have until the 
closing date above to submit their applications (which should contain as much 
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)

creating a spreadsheet (was: new cool feature)

[Peter Kovacs]

Hi Archie,


Welcome to OpenOffice. I whish you a lot of fun with the Software.

There are lots of possible ways to make your live easier.

I would recommend to use our forums or users mailing list to ask 
questions on ways what you want to do.


I think there are all the features you do expect, but it is made 
differently then you might think.



I have quickly exchanged the Postcode and the Miles with a lookup 
function, I would use. But there is an issue. Can someone else have a 
look? I do not find what I did wrong.



I loop in users for better support. Sorry, got to go. I am late for work 
... :S

Dear developers! I'm beginning my experience with OpenOffice Calc, and 
I'm finding a few ugly bugs. First I think I'm too stupid, but then I 
realize it is a bug that doesn't depend on my knowledge. I have made 
one bug report about calculating time consumption and using the result 
in a formula for next cell.. But this mail is not about that. I was 
trying to find how to make my spreadsheet to fill cells according to 
previous cell, and finally I've found, that there is no option for 
that, so I created a long formula based on "IF" logic task. So now 
when I type a Name in "LOCATION" cell, it automatically recognizes it, 
and fills following cells "MILES", "POSTCODE", and "PAYRATE". Makes it 
so much easier, but makes difficult creating and maintaining the 
formula. So for now my 3-customer formula looks like this:
=IF(C371="global 
stansted";"CM235PU";IF(C371="Mojito";"CM235PU";IF(C371="grafton 
cambridge";"CM11HE";"-")))

And it is only beginning of my Self Employment.

 So my suggestion is to create an additional AutoFill form where user 
can make a list of related data in specific columns or rows to fill up 
multiple cells at the same time.


Thank you very much for such a wonderful opportunity to use a free 
Office Sofware!!! You guys rock!!!

Looping in Users.

OpenOffice on Mac can react wired when the scrolling is setup do not

OpenOffice Track on Apache Roadshow EU in Berlin

[Peter Kovacs]

We have the opportunity to create a track on Apache Roadshow in Berlin.

In order to create one, the minimum requirement are 4 talks. We also
need someone who takes care on the coordinatio with the the event chhair
Myrle.

Sadly my time is not enough to take over the organization on this event,
but I would do a talk.

Also to those who would like to volunteer for a talk on Apache Roadschow
US, the time to organize is overdue, but if there is enough interest, we
can try next year.

Please, consider if you are interested in taking part on Apache roadshow
in general. If you would like to hold a talk this year or you are
available as Coordinator chair.


All the Best Peter

Hello all,

I need help with a user on Facebook.
He speaks not very well English, and has issues with the gatekeeper on his Mac.

He seems to be from Cambodia (Google translate claim)

It would be cool if someone can jump in who speaks Cambodian or can point me to 
a Cambodian Ressource how to handle the gatekeeper.

I already posted the link to the English forum with the article. (we had a wiki

Re: Open office too many icons

[Peter Kovacs]

Hello Joseph P. Carlin,


My OpenOffice installation has 8 Icons Installed.

Base, Calc, Writer, Impress, Draw, Math, Printer setup and a generic one

The first 6 start directly the application you want to use. the 7th Icon
regulates Printer setup and the last one starts an application where I
can select what I want to do.

Please note that all applications are different with a different purpose.


I have no Idea what your 9th Icon is, maybe Uninstall?


Maybe you could add what do you expect, when Installing the OpenOffice
Productivity suite.


All the Best

Hi all,

Thank you for your quick responses.

What I asked is about a scenario, but got colorful responses, hahaha. I
have Microsoft Word as well in one of my PCs, found they don't allow left
indent once it reach the home place of a line. But here it is different and
reported to your team, don't want you blunt. I am also working in customer
service in an IT company. I really don't respond like this in my
experience. Actually I asked about an issue before around 4 years back,
that time really your team responded very nice and asked me to go ahead to
a later version and I did. Now I don't want your application and I shall
choose Libre Office.

Hi,

Found an issue in left indent.
Steps:
1. Launch Open Office Writer

2. Read the manual
3. Learn to work with Styles


2. Type a text.

4. Type text

3. Click on 'Decrease indent' from toolbar button.

Why do you need to Decrease indent if you already at the left margin?

Result:
The typed text is indented left out of the editor.

You get what your asked for.

Expected Result:
Should not indent once the text is left most of the editor.

Wrong expectation

Version Details: Apache OpenOffice 4.1.3

You should always use the most recent version

Sincerely
Binny

Re: Using Apache Open Office as an assistant to my industry.

[Peter Kovacs]

Hello,


The Apache Software License itself is quite permissive. You can review
this at [1]. The Product depends on Libraries with other Licenses, but I
think for what you want this does not play any role.

You have to take care about trademarks a bit. The Software is called
Apache OpenOffice not Apache Open Office. There is also no professional
or other Qualifier in the product name, something a lot of people seem
love to add.

Project Trademark policies you find at [2]. Describing you in what way
you are allowed to use the Trademarks. I recommend also to consider [3],
I am not sure if this applies. If you sell a document in the
OpenDocument Format there are multiple applications that can work with
this format. You do not depend on the Projects agreement.

Please also note that the project is a community project with only
volunteers. This means while there is support and development it is all
based around volunteers, and the project as its base does not have any
SLAs. If your customer requests professional support, you have to
organize it for them. There is a page that can help you with that. I am
sure there are partners, too. I am a bit unexperienced with this field.

This answer expresses my personal opinion and is not an answer from the
Project Management Committee. ([3] will provide Information how to contact.)

Re: Windows 10 version 1903

[Peter Kovacs]

Hi,

I am not able to find any issues to 1903 related to OpenOffice.
Can you please link them in a new topic?
I would like to check if we need to fix something.

What I could find out 1903 is a functional update and not a security one. 

However Sally will not have to fear much. Your files are independant  objects 
in your computer. They should not be affected. But to be on the save side do a 
copy of all important work. 
I am not a windows user. I have Not an overview what you can do to prefent the 
loss of your work. 

What works if you have an internet connection is to use Google drive or dropbox 
to store them at some service. 

What works if you have a SD card drive in your laptop is to copy your work onto 
the SD card and Therefor secure it from the update. 
There are also CD burners that can write to a CD. 

If you provide more information what computer you use maybe I can provide more 
details. 

There are also software products helping you in general to create safety copies 
of your files. 
If OpenOffice makes trouble then report here. We will help you as much as we 
can.

Re: Update failures

[Peter Kovacs]

Hello, 

that the updater gives an update error is a known issue. A possible fix has 
been discussed, but not executed. If the plan works out and our analysis are 
correct the fix has to be done on the server which offers the updates.
Todo is on dev side.

Re: It Is Time for Me to Generate an Updated Telephone-Addressbook

[Peter Kovacs]

Hi,


I would say it depends what your goal is.

Is it a simple Address List, then Calc is the way to go. Do you want to 
do complex stuff with the List then you may want to consider a database 
approach and look if you base is sufficient.


I would personally install locally an Email App and use the build in 
Address book (maybe Thunderbird?). If you configure to sync Google then 
you have an easy job syncing the Addresses between your PC, Google and 
even to an Android Smart phone will be simple. And you can then maintain 
your address List on your phone. This works for me.

Hi:

I am staying at home and have time on my hands, so I think this might 
be a good time to generate an updated telephone/address book in a PC 
format.


Can anyone suggest a "relatively" simple database template for 
tracking Names, Postal Addresses, Telephone numbers-House, Telephone 
numbers-Cell, Telephone numbers-Businesses, Medical offices' data, etc?


I started by exporting my Contacts from the GMAIL website for my one 
@gmail.com email account, and have that data now on my WIN10-x64 
desktop PC as a .CSV file (to Excel).  I also plan to eventually enter 
the data from a paper telephone/address book into a database.  I am 
not certain which to use, (vers 4.1.5) AOO-Calc or AOO-Base.  I also 
have Libre Office (Version: 6.3.4.2 (x64)
Build ID: 60da17e045e08f1793c57c00ba83cdfce946d0aa) installed, but am 
even less skilled with its operation.


1. Should I go with AOO-Calc or attempt to learn more about AOO-Base
   for this project?
2. Any suggestion for a template file would be appreciated.

Thanks for reading this.

Re: Calc: How to graph polynomial trend line like Excel?

[Peter Kovacs]

Which Version do you use?

In 4.1.7 you can

1) select the Dots you want to add a trendline to.

2) right click

3) in the Menue select the trend line

4) select the Formula you want to add

5) if you click again, you can add the trendline formula to the trendline.


I hope this helps.

Re: Calc: How to graph polynomial trend line like Excel?

[Peter Kovacs]

Mike,


I checked to day Excel 2016 and the main difference is that OpenOffice 
does not have a + Symbol.


Okay, maybe when you have the Graph selected, then you need to double 
click, to be able to manipulate the Graph itself.


And then you can select the line you want to add the trend line too.

And only then you see the trend line in the Menu.


By now I found the wiki article too:

https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Calc_Guide/Editing_charts


Hope that clarifies.

there was no 'below' and you don’t tell us what OS you are using, but

Hello,

after I had repeated crashes, both in text and
Calc files, I have installed V4.1.7

There it became even more violent. Whenever I do a calculation
the message came in

"Could not create /java implementation loader/"

I then updated Java, but it did not get any better.

It wasn't until I went to Tools/Settings/Java oracle... a black
point, I was able to perform calculations again without
came crashing down.

Crashes still happen.

That can't be.

Just because Java wasn't enabled, there can't be any crashes,
a warning, yes, but not a full crash. That's botched.

Fix this bug.

Instead of the error message "Could not create..."
to open a window immediately to activate Java or to display a message
"Enable Java?"

But without crashing.

MfG

Mirko Lüthge

Hello, Mirko.

Firstly, the language on this list is English - the fewest will
understand German and...
Second: We can't fix bugs - we are users like you.
Maybe someone who understands German knows if the crashes are something
have to do with OpenOffice or with the Java installation, but that also
only if you reveal what kind of operating system you have.

Hallo,

nachdem ich wiederholt Abstürze hatte, sowohl bei Text- als auch
Calcdateien, habe ich V4.1.7 installiert.

Dort wurde es dann noch heftiger. Immer, wenn ich eine Calculation
durchführen wollte, kam die Meldung

"Could not create /java implementation loader/"

Ich habe dann Java upgedated, aber es wurde nicht besser.

Erst als ich unter Extras/Einstellungen/Java oracle... einen schwarzen
Punkt setzte, konnte ich wieder Berechnungen durchführen, ohne, daß es
zu Abstürzen kam.

Abstürze gibt es immer noch.

Das kann nicht sein.

Nur , weil Java nicht aktiviert war, darf es keine Abstürze geben,
eine Warnmeldung ja, aber keinen Komplettabsturz. Das ist Pfusch.

Behebt diesen Fehler.

Statt der Fehlermeldung "Could not create..." wäre es sinnvoiller,
gleich ein Fenster zu öffnen, um Java zu aktivieren oder eine Meldung
"Java aktivieren ?"

Aber eben ohne Absturz.

Re: doc vs docx

[Peter Kovacs]

On the development list, we discuss modern MS Office Formats from time 
to time. And we have multiple Ideas on how we could improve the issue.


But currently the Discussions are maybe more a bundle of Ideas then a 
real plan. I believe this topic will get more attention after we have 
finally managed to release 4.2.0.


This my personal personal position and is not an aligned development list.


This does not help you much, but maybe it is nice to have some 
impressions from the dev perspective.

Re: Numbers automatically advance in spreadsheet columns

[Peter Kovacs]

1) Mark the Cell

2) Right Klick -> select copy

3) select first Cell of your row. (i.e. the cell below)

4) Press shift And mark the last cell -> you now see the rows that you 
target marked.


5) right click select copy.

Re: doc vs docx

[Peter Kovacs]

Imho you have a wide choice on Tools, if you need MS Support:

# WPS Office

# Free Office (Free Variant of Softmaker Office)

# G Suite from Google


# Neo Office

# iWorks (Mac only)

The Market is rich on Solutions.

And most of them have also support for ODT Format.

Some you have to pay, others are Free.

AFAIK the quality varies, you should inform yourself.

Hi Sivan,


Should be similar on Mac, with control is the apple key (I think). But 
you can look into the insert menu, see the link to the Wiki guide.


I tried to provide one solution for removing the gray boxes. I assume 
the gray boxes come from the Page copy from.


The basic knowledge I refer to you can read here:

Optimum Row Height-Default

I don't think it can - but do you need to?

o You can easily select multiple rows using click and Shift+click in 
the row headers or by dragging down the row headers. Then you can 
adjust the row height for all those rows in a single step.


o Even more generally, you can select an entire sheet (or even 
multiple sheets) by clicking in the rectangle at top left, where the 
row and column headers meet. Again, you can adjust the row height for 
all those rows at once.




Yes, but first I must drop down to any Row's left margin header area 
and do a right-click; only after doing that, am I able to add my 
desired additional space (pitch) and make a change for optimum row 
height for all rows in the sheet (most of the time, as this sometimes 
misses a row(s)).


I am not sure what you try to accomplish. Selecting all rows does not 
help you?


While it is not obvious solution you could change the Style. Press F11, 
in the Popup you will see a default style. You modify this style and 
change on the Borders tab you find the distance to the cell space.


You set up the styles you need, and then you mark the complete sheet as 
described above, select optimal Row hight and it will adjust.



The only exception is if you have merged cells. That will not work as 
you might expect.



If you want to change the default distance you have to adjust the 
default style and save the document as your default template.

Re: Migrating from MSO

OpenOffice does currently have Issues with complex docx, xlsx, pptx

For better migration results you need to save documents in doc, xls or

OpenOffice 4.1.7. The original document comprises multiple tables, one table per 
section, each table being about one or two pages or so, total 60 pages. When 
opened in OpenOffice, the font was changed from Times New Roman to Calibri. The 
footers do not show in OpenOffice, although they are listed and checked under 
Insert->Footer as Converted1-Converted59. The text boxes were missing. The 
number of pages was 57 instead of the original 60 (possibly due to the missing 
footers).  Are these problems endemic, or is there a way to avoid them, have my 
documents look the same as in MSO?
Advice?

Bonjour,


I am sorry my french is horrible. i am also sorry for sending a mail 
that has not been ment for you.


I just realized that I had a mail mismatch.


The Documentation we have you can read at [1]

The base is a normal Database Frontend, which designed to support for 
"simple" database models.


You could write a macro that reads a Path and adds elements to a database.


If you havbe only one table, that you want to fill, it is probable 
better to use a calc sheet for the purpose.


There you can simnply add a macro that scans a directory for files and 
adds each entry to cell.



Database is better if your case is more complex than that.

Hello Group:

My Windows 10 Home is used on a 64-bit architecture DELL desktop.

1. Apache Open Office: AOO415m1(Build:9789)  -  Rev. 1817496
   2017-12-11 17:25 (This is AOO 32-bit version.)

   Build ID: dd0751754f11728f69b42ee2af66670068624673

The two JREs available to me are:

1. jre-8u201-windows-i586
2. jre-8u241-windows-x64

Given that a 32-bit java and a 64-bit java should/must not be 
installed on the same machine/partition. I therefore must remove one 
of the JREs from my machine.    Or, install and run the AOO 64-bit 
version, and keep the JRE-64 bit. But I am uncertain if I would loose 
any of my 32-bit AOO existing files and/or templates.


How should I proceed if I go ahead with the 64-bit AOO installation?  
Will I loose any 32-bit AOO files/templates? Are there any practical 
advantages included in AOO-64 over AOO-32?


Your suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks for reading this. Stay well and be safe.

   in macOS. This is a feature to help guard against malware on macOS
   systems.
 o For OS X up to 10.11 "El Capitan": There is a procedure laid out
   at the following link to allow applications not installed from
   the Mac App store to run. See the Mac support article
   .
 o For macOS 10.12 "Sierra" and up: In Finder, Control-click or
   right click the icon of the app. Select Open from the top of
   contextual menu that appears. Click Open in the dialog box. If
   prompted, enter an administrator name and password. This is
   needed just the first time you launch Apache OpenOffice.
 o Due to a known bug in Oracle Java
   
   installations of Apache OpenOffice on macOS that do not have the
   legacy Apple Java 6 installed will not be able to recognize
   Oracle Java 7 and 8. If not able to upgrade to Java 9 than
   install the legacy version of Apple Java from the following
   link: Legacy Apple Java 6 .
   This will allow the portions of AOO that require Java to run
   properly.

Dan,

It appears that that you are opening the OpenOffice program from within the
downloaded dmg file (i.e., from the window described below). That file
contains a virtual disk that contains the program and other files. You are
supposed to copy the OpenOffice program from that virtual disk to the
Applications folder on your computer.

The steps for installing OpenOffice on a Mac are as follows:

1. Download the OpenOffice distribution file
Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.7_MacOS_x86-64_install_en-US.dmg.

2. Double click on the icon for the dmg file (i.e., wherever it got
downloaded to), which will (a) mount the virtual disk contained in the dmg
file, which creates an "OpenOffice" icon on the desktop, and (b) display
the virtual disk's contents in a window named "OpenOffice" (which is the
"screen" referenced in the instructions that you quoted).

3. *In that "OpenOffice" window*, drag the "OpenOffice.app" icon to the
"Applications" icon (also in that window—it is an alias for the actual
Applications folder). (You appear to have dragged the "OpenOffice" icon
from the desktop to the Applications folder, which is not the same
thing—different name and different source location.)

4. Close the "OpenOffice" window.

5. Select (single-click) the "OpenOffice" icon on the desktop, and select
File > Eject "OpenOffice". (You could also right click [or hold down
Control and left click] on that icon and select Eject "OpenOffice" from the
menu that is displayed.)

6. Drag the downloaded dmg file to the Trash (or save it somewhere for
[unlikely] future use).

Then, to use OpenOffice, double click on its icon in the Applications
folder.

If you want to avoid having to go to the Applications folder (or the
Launcher?) each time you want to use OpenOffice, you can keep its icon in
the Dock permanently.

I hope this helps,

Chuck

P.S. For the record, I have not looked at the instructions posted on the
OpenOffice website.

Re: Complaint: "buggy implementations"

[Peter Kovacs]

Hello all,

Thanks for this discussion. Because it has been mentioned multiple times 
now, we have a bug report. There is no need to fill a new one.


https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=115994

A Bug report alone does not fix the Bug. However we have so many of them 
that this kind of discussion is really helpful to raise attention and to 
structure the Issues.


I guess not all have the Issue on Mac? Maybe if we ciould collect the 
current information, I can update the ticket:


I assume we have this now on windows, Linux, Mac? The report states only 
mac is affected.


Can you confirm that this happens on 4.1.7?

I fully understand Mr. Olsson's complaint. In the Forum, we are indeed 
used to advise saving any picture to be embedded in AOO on the HD 
first and then to insert it with the relevant menu.

However, this is not a very good user experience.

I agree.
Note that I never filed a bug report for that. First because there 
already too many reports for too few coders and second because I often 
adjust the pic before actually inserting it in the document. 


Despite we are a view Coders it helps if Tickets are updated, and maybe 
it would make sense to link support emails / forum issues. It is quite 
hard to prioritize Tickets. However a prioritization is not a ranking 
for a fix ;)


Everything helps, even if there are only people giving feedback by 
updating the bugs. Just be nice when you do. The Software Product is on 
community support.

Re: Status of the former Sun Microsystems "Opendocument filters for Microsoft Office"?

[Peter Kovacs]

Hello,

According to Wikipedia Microsoft Office supports the ODF standard 1.2 
since 2013.


My cooperate Microsoft Word Version (which is 365) supports the Foirmat 
using Apache POI.


The Microsoft user needs to select Save as and then select the ODF 
Document Format (which would be odt in word)


I think this is currently the best way to exchange files between 
Microsoft Word and OpenOffice.

Hi users,

Recently I had a nightmarish experience with trying to edit long
tables on a document originally created with Microsoft Office (the
last version before the Office365 move, I believe it was Office 2003).
It had tables pasted inside of tables... something which was a
nightmare to edit and move properly in AOO.

To make a long story short: I ended up deleting the tables and redoing
those by hand from scratch It worked well.

The issue still remains that I end up editing stuff created on
Microsoft Office by users whom, per company policy, must use the
installed copy of Microsoft Office and do not have administrative
rights to install other software.

I can edit those documents fine with AOO 4.1.8, save as ODT, and then
when I have a final copy, e-mail back the document saving it in .DOC
(Word97,Word2000, WordXP, or words to that effect).

In my last exchange with this office, I emailed .DOC documents that
looked perfectly on my AOO 4.1.8  (and which started as DOC documents
emailed to me), only to be told that the returned document "missed all
the margins" and had to be re-edited by them on MS Office.

So, I would very much prefer emailing ODT to them for them to open in
Microsoft Office, and then re-save by themselves in DOCx format on
their system...

Sun Microsystems used to offer a set of installable Opendocument
Filters for Microsoft Office. The download page was at:

http://www.sun.com/software/star/odf_plugin/get.jsp

On Web Archive the last version seems to be v3.0 archived at
https://web.archive.org/web/20090226123328/http://www.sun.com/software/star/odf_plugin/get.jsp

But since the binaries weren´t direcly linked there is no way to
download the installer from archive.org.

Would anyone on this list be so kind as to provide me with filename of
the installer and sha1sum so I can try to find them on other sites and
know the installer is "safe" to install and use?

And anyone happens to know the legal status of those filters, were
them ever open sourced by Sun? Could they be open sourced by Oracle
now?

Please do not reply "use the AOO fork". Such replies will be ignored. ;)

Thanks in advance.

Hi!


I am not sure what you mean by "opposite of helpful"

Turning it off is described in the first link.

Format -> AutoFormat -> while typing

If all the options are ticked off the AutoFormat is deactivated.

However, if you want to modify the behavior better ask on the

hello everyone

I am writing for help because I need to disable or alter the autoformat
behavior in Open office.

I JUST downloaded so I have the recent version I can only access
autocorrect, autoformat no appear in the dropdown menu. The software menu I
have does not match the documentation on the site:

https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Writer_Guide/Autoformatting

https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Category:Documentation/FAQ/Writer/AutomaticFunctions

https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/FAQ/Writer/AutomaticFunctions/How_do_I_turn_off_automatic_correction_and_formatting%3F


I need to alter or turn off auto formatting because the behaviors you have
chosen are the opposite of helpful,

I did find a way to turn off "autocorrect as I type" which I HOPE will turn
off autoformatting as well but it is a blunt instrument way of dealing with
this IF it even works.

I would like to keep spell correct but not use "autocomplete a word," I am
finding your expectations of what I might want to say to be disturbing and
stupid.

I would ike to alter the autoformatting behavior to be more useful but in
the absence of that I do need to turn it off because I can barely type a
list, the behavior is too chaotic.

Thank you for your help.

Re: Corrupt ODT File Recovery

[Peter Kovacs]

Hi John,

I see a lot of topics in your email. So please forgive me if I hurry 
through them. I understand that you have troubles at the moment and 
maybe not the mind for all of this right now.


a) Important:

Please note you published your phone number on the internet. We do 
advise against it, please look take care on your privacy. This email is 
copied to various archives which are public reachable. This has been 
done now for 30 or so years. And you agreed to this by sending this to 
the email address of your choseing.


b) About your main Issue recovering files:

You have options at [1]. The tutorial describes what you can do on total 
loss. Which is far more then  what you experience in my opionion. We try 
to improve the ressilliance in such cases.


But there is not much that we can do when the system starts to stop.

c) your options on Office tools for the future

AOO is not a cloud tool, and thus is hardly comparable to O365 as it is 
offered today. The right match would be next Cloud or OwnCloud, with 
their Web implementation of LibreOffice(LO) / OneOffice /ColaboraOffice. 
You can buy services that are cheaper, or similar price then O365. Which 
brings me to AOO. AOO is currently developed on pro-bono model.


The business people have forked into LibreOffice [3], they have more 
business support options, due to their stronger commercial footprint. (I 
am oversimplifying here, for the shake on the message.) You can try 
reach out to companies at [2] concerning AOO, to receive professional 
service. However this include likely involve cost.


d) On your System Choice

I want to give you a story of a Yoga teacher[4]. Maybe this is something 
for you to read. I wonder why your Operating system has been started to 
reboot, during your important work. This should not happen.


Maybe you want to look into your setup in general.


my general opinion:

# If you need professional help, plan it up front and not when you are 
in an emergency.


# Have a fail strategy ready. Not only this gives you faith, but it will 
help in emergency situations.


# Dont fear to invest time into your IT. Build your own know How. You 
need less then you think, but the right one.



All the Best

If you want to do a complete "reset" you need to reset the profile, too.

Then go to [2] and download the installer. Make sure you select

Re: installation

[Peter Kovacs]

Hello,


Sorry to hear that OpenOffice has no simple start for you.

Can you please, take a short time and answer the following questions?

- What Operating System do you use?

- Have you checked the Release notes?

- What indicates to you that the Software is not working? - (Please, try 
to explain like you would explain it to a child. It makes it simpler for 
me to understand what the issue is.)



For your planned expenditure on AOO, this might be good to know.

Apache OpenOffice is developed on voluntary bases, There are only a very 
small amount of volunteers that do not work on pro bono bases. We offer 
the Software at no cost at downloads.openoffice.org or on the Windows 11 
store.


You can support Apache OpenOffice by joining the community, and help 
with translation, guides, tests of new versions and other streams.


You can also donate to the ASF. The ASF provides the Project 
Infrastructure, that we need to develop Apache OpenOffice. We greatly 
appreciate any donation from your side if you want to support us here.


Currently there is no simple way for the community to provide funds for 
an improved development cycle.



All the best

Re: Winding OpenOffice down

[Peter Kovacs]

Hello Flaviu

Am 22.06.22 um 23:30 schrieb Flaviu Tamas:

Why hasn't OpenOffice been wound down & shuttered?


I can only explain my view on this. I am an AOO committer because people 
use AOO. And more often then not they are aware on the market, and they 
did decide on Apache OpenOffice.


Winding down the project would mean that the people will most likely to 
use an abandoned software. We still see updates from 3.x Versions. So 
for me it is the right thing to continue the project and keep it alive 
as long as people use the software and we people volunteer to work on 
it. I think it would be damaging if the current team would quit the 
OpenSource development.


Especially OpenOffice shows a resilience that is remarkable and a 
recommendation for OpenSource in comparison to closed source.




The existence of the website makes users assume that OpenOffice is
still actively being developed, when those users would be much better
served migrating to LibreOffice.

There is no discussion with LO on a migration path.


I've seen this conversation several times over the past few years in
various open source communities.


Which is a bubble discussion. With no relevance or power of solution.

From my perspective is the only orderly way  a project merge. AFAIK 
there is no interest on LO side to discuss this path. So there is no 
point to follow this up.


If LO Community is willing to talk they know how to start the 
discussion. From my perspective the ball is in their half (as we Germans 
say)




At the very least, a prominent notice that users should use
LibreOffice on the main OpenOffice site would be nice.


My dedication is to AOO. I am still open to discuss a merge. And this 
will remain. But my dedication is to AOO and the users who decided to 
use AOO with all its pros and cons.


I am not in favor in promoting any other specific project like LO as 
long there are active committers. If the move to attic becomes relevant 
again we can discuss this point. But I would favor an open approach that 
enables Users to make their own discussion, then dominate them with a 
predefined decision. But currently I see no need. We getting slowly 
better in fixing stuff and moving forward.

Re: CORRECTION, post upgrade glitch is still serious

[Peter Kovacs]

Am 23.06.22 um 12:09 schrieb PCS:

CORRECTION, the Extension Update glitch froze a spreadsheet I had put aside in 
the Dock and forgotten was open when I tested with a couple of new documents. 
It was successfully recovered but it is still a serious glitch.


Sadly the extension code has a unresolved bug :(

It is a release blocker for 4.2.0. I hope we get to the bug someday.






I have used LibreOffice on Linux fairly often over the past 12 years and 
occasionally on the Mac (my main computer), but I prefer OpenOffice on the Mac.

LO seems to be more fully featured than OO and some of its features are better 
implemented than the same ones in OO, but overall I find OO easier to use (for 
what I use it for, others may disagree) despite a couple of annoying issues 
(the worst is the RH side panel popping out unwanted if you happen to click on 
its opening button when scrolling up or down or when resizing a window: the 
activator should be out of the way, in the top menu panel, or at least have an 
option to move it out of the way, maybe some people actually like the 
Jack-in-a-box). The less frequent updates of OO is a plus also, obviously we 
all want to be up to date with security but other than that I see no need for 
frequent updates of a bread-and-butter application that does the job you need 
it to do, unless there is a genuine improvement, like stopping the RH panel 
from being a Jack-in-the-box, or if it needs to be updated for compatibility 
with an OS update.

So overall I am content to stay with OO rather than move to LO (I do have LO 
installed, but I rarely use it), and unless OO and LO can be successfully 
merged, with options to allow users to configure the merged app to work the way 
they want to work, I would not want to see OO “wound down and shuttered”.

All Flaviu Tamas needs to do, after all, is to uninstall OO and use LO, problem 
solved for him without denying others what for them is a useful alternative. Who is 
he anyway, to try to dictate that we should all use the app he prefers? That seems 
pretty arrogant to me, he should not assume that he knows what is best for me better 
than I do. He is probably like my father, who used to say, when he owned a 1928 
Dodge, “If you can’t afford a Dodge, dodge a Ford”, then changed it to, “If you 
can’t afford a Ford, dodge a Dodge” when he bought a 1953 Ford Customline, i.e. 
"I am such an expert that whatever I buy / have / use is automatically what 
everyone else should buy / have / use. Flaviu should just use the app he/she prefers 
and let others continue to have access to the one they prefer, and I am surprised 
that nobody else has told him/her that already.

There is an annoying glitch in the recent OO Mac update that seems to make the 
case for not updating without good reason. When an OO document is opened now, 
the green update arrow appears in the main menu bar, but when you click on it 
it doesn’t work properly. For a while it opened an initially transparent 
Extension Manager window offering a Spelling dictionary when you clicked it 
visible, but clicking on it froze the application and it had to be Force Quit 
and reopened. The app's data recovery feature minimised data loss, but it was 
still a nuisance. I have been ignoring the green arrow to circumvent the 
problem, but have just tried it again (with a new document, so as not to risk 
compromising a real one), and now the problem seems to be half fixed, clicking 
on the green arrow in the main menu bar doesn’t do anything, not even offer a 
genuine extension update, so at least the app no longer freezes. But this is a 
good example of why I am normally a late updater, because new updates of the OS 
or an app often have glitches in them that I would much rather have discovered 
by other people than discover myself, hence my dislike of LO’s much more 
frequent updates, I haven’t had problems with them, but the more frequent they 
are the greater is the risk, so I prefer less frequent and better tested 
updates, and the glitch in recent OO update is a significant disappointment.

I used the Windows 'Open with' function of the explorer.

Then I grabbed the old document I used before, but also had no 
problem  this time.


Before I had the problem with files of a program documentation, two 
files with containing English text were correctly stored, the two with 
the German text were destroyed. After repairing the files with AOO the 
problem occurred a second time. Then, totally frustrated, I repaired 
the files with LibreOffice (by replacing the stamp size pictures) and 
had no problem with reopening, I also can open then with AOO now 
without downsized pictures. Maybe the repair with Libre Office changed 
something in the files.


So, if I can not say what to do to reproduce the problem, nobody can

I assume following steps on the document you had:

2. Select openFile from the Entry OpenFile menue

3. Select the document

4. Press Open

Is this true?

Or did you use another way to open the document?

Subject: OpenOffice destroys Word documents

Hello,

I opened a formerly created writer document which contains pictures in
jpg-format. After changing some text, I stored the file. When opening
the document again, I found all pictures were smaller than before: the
size changed from half page size to stamp size.

This happens when I use the Word 97 format, not when odt- format is 
used.


Kind regards

Hi Helmuth,

I think the bug should be fixed. I often tell people to use OpenOffice 
because it is compatible (and free).

I could not find the Issue in ourr bugtracker 
(https://bz.apache.org/ooo/). What developers can not reproduce, we are 
not able to fix. This does not mean that you are wrong or right, but the 
code base is simply to large to go on a goose hunt. so we need something 
to go in for.


We need more Information. So how was the document produced in the first 
place? Is it a document that has been created by AOO? Or another 
Application?


I assume following steps on the document you had:

1. Open OpenOffice

2. Select openFile from the Entry OpenFile menue

3. Select the document

4. Press Open

Is this true?

Or did you use another way to open the document?

All the best

Peter

Am 05.12.22 um 06:57 schrieb Joana Ottenbacher:

Disclaimer: I am new here, just subscribed. Please be kind if this ended
up in the wrong place.

Hi.
I have a mixture of a discussion but also a proposal I would like to
make. I ended up here after doing a fair share of search engine digging,
not finding a good solution for the initial problem. Apparently, about
12 years ago, there started to be demand for what I'm going to discuss,
according to old Open Office forum posts I found in the process.

Problem part A:
As far as I can understand the software, there is not an easy structure
to user-friendly switch color themes in Open Office Writer (I haven't
looked at other programs, but it could be true for them as well).
Yes, there is one solution to switch colors.
You go... What was it? Edit, Settings? No, maybe View... Extras...
Appearance? No, not either. The correct way is
Extras>Settings>OpenOffice>Appearance (as an example, I'm myself still
confused about whether that now applies to all programs under the Open
Office wing, or just Writer??).
You see the first problem?
I as a user/dig my way through the whole interface/, potentially even
missing the settings for program appearance. This is not only very
difficult to find, it leads to *frustration*.
What I've been experiencing through the years of usage is the same
problem over and over again. We do have functions, but the amount of
clicks required to find them, is inefficient and brain-wrecking.
An analogy: Some updates ago, the 3D Software Blender moved their "User
Preferences" window from "Files" to "Edit". Why? It's more logical, it's
convenient and easy to find by one click, containing everything you need
in one single window with a couple of tabs. Blender also lets you choose
your "Theme" on first startup and later in the preferences and add new
themes as you please.

Which leads me to problem part B:
There are people who do have issues with bright light screens. Websites
these days update to "Dark Mode".
I could imagine following scenario: A person who needs accessibility
aids like a customized dark theme, would they even manage to find the
according settings to change the program appearance to their needs?
Would a person who is already puzzled by where to even save their file
or how to print find such an option?
Maybe, if it were easier to find, AND what I think of an improvement: If
there were well-designed pre-installed examplary color themes one could
just switch by clicking a button. There is a list of color schemes (for
me, there is only the OpenOffice light theme in the list!), but again,
until a user finds this option, they might have given up on it already.
Users are not designers. They might struggle with color values, how
light or dark the font color should be displayed and also, they might
worry that changing these colors might make their printer switch colors
as well. (I saw somebody in a forum stating you should revert appearance
before printing, they were likely scared of exactly that!). The concept
of a "Dark Theme" or "Dark Mode" is not so easy for them to understand
when they get a long, long list of colors they are to change themselves.
So what to do to improve? Instead, let the user have a standard one they
could switch by clicking one button a light theme button and a dark
theme button with an icon to determine what's going on.
Voilà. We have an accessible, easy system to make these changes. Just
like clicking a different theme in a PowerPoint presentation. And if
there is none the user likes, they can add a new one and have a new
button or a list for their themes, as well, selecting each color
individually just like you can do right now in version 4.1.7.

Now there's one extra point to the mix. We have users who are using
OpenOffice under Linux. I read that for some reason there is a Dark
Mode, but I don't understand the details at all. I cannot speak for
anybody using that OS, so this here is all from a Windows perspective. I
though do believe that a standardized option to do this throughout each
program *regardless* of OS or the like, would make things so much easier
for everybody.

In my own POV there are enough reasons to overhaul this part of the
system. Possibly, there are menu parts that could be put in one large
window containing everything you might need. The problem when you

Re: new version of OO?

[Peter kovacs]

Hi PCS,

Unlike LO, AOO is not compiled for M1 yet. There are some blockers we need to 
work on. However Rosetta seems to work well for AOO.

I have tested AOO on the M2 during release and have not seen glitches. But if 
you had I would be interested in some screenshots.

There is a special issue I am aware of with M1 compiled Java version. You must 
install a Intel Java version and it has to be first in the java listing. I had 
crashes in this case while testing the bugs.

The drawbacks that are valid for Mac Intel are also true for the M1.
I hope I have time soon to look deeper into AOO on Mac and work on improvements.

All the best
Peter
