asian language support in openoffice document
Hi, does anyone have any experience with Asian language support in documents? I have received a doc which apparently has Chinese characters in it (mixed in with English) but which displays various unicode characters in substitution. I perhaps need to address 2 issues, in kubuntu and then in OpenOffice, but am looking for any advice anyone may have in getting this to work. I am told by other viewers (overseas) that they see the characters however they probably have the relevant fonts installed on their local machines and are no doubt running flavours of Windows and using Word.

openoffice 2.3 installation
Hi, I have the OpenOffice 2.3 deb download but am not sure how to do the install - this is a Mepis 6.5 installation. I have all the deb files extracted in a folder along with the desktop integration file. On a SuSE box yesterday the equivalent was executing rpm -Uvh *.rpm. Cheers, Roger
Re: openoffice 2.3 installation
I converted all the rpms to .debs, but them all into a separate directory and did a dpkg -i * IIRC, I had to force it, as one of the packages conflicted.

Re: openoffice 2.3 installation
Thanks. Looks like I'm out of luck at this stage as I get: package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64) (with the file that was automatically offered up by their server). And the download chooser tells me there isn't a 64deb english file. Yet... Recently my 2.2 installation decided that it would take anything between 30 seconds and 3 minutes to lauch a file which isn't good for my productivity or patience, and I was looking to the release of 2.3 as an opportunity to rectify that. I think I'll just try a reinstall of 2.2 and see if that sorts it.

Openoffice writer pictures
Hi all, When I save a doc with picture inserted only a marker is saved in the .doc file. Then when the file is sent to another person the picture is missing. How do I embed the picture in the .doc file so that it does not have to be separately loaded by the recipient? Help was no help! TIA Barry

Re: PDF output from OpenOffice
On Tue, 03 Jul 2007 13:43, Barry wrote: No, I have those, what I need is the option to select output for screen or for printer, there is a vast difference in the file sizes. I believe that it has to do with Adobe Acrobat pdf level output. Higher level versions embed the fonts in the pdf document. If the pdf you want to create is text displayed in a common font such as helevtica, just use a lower pdf version level and you can pretty much guarantee that it will display/print correctly on other computers and printers. On problem that I have come across is MS Word documents which use Cyrillic (Russian) text. When these documents are opened in another computer which does not have the font installed the application makes a guess for a matching font. Often it gets the guess wrong, choosing a Greek font. One way for the originator of the document to avoid this problem would have been to produce it as a higher level pdf with the font embedded in the document. Cheers Ross Drummond

In the help on regular expressions it carefully ignores the $ for paragraph mark but does have: ^$ for empty paragraphs and \n for new line characters (shift enter) The description of \n is a bit confusing too: Represents a line break that was inserted with the Shift+Enter key combination.

Re: OpenOffice - replace paragraph marks
Thank you Roy, and Kerry, My answer, given I wanted to put a few characters immediately before every instance of a paragraph mark and retain the paragraph mark was to search for $, and then replace with characters \n. Agreed with Kerry's comments that some of the help descriptions are somewhat unclear, it may well be that Ian's macros do indeed help and I will put that on my list of things to do. Kerry, the ctrl+F alt+O line from Roy's reply is the keyboard shortcuts to perform the task without needing to touch the mouse. In general (any application) the alt key plus the underlined character in a dialog box provides this functionality.

Thanks! I made a wrapper script which takes a list of files for conversion. There are a number of problems with this, all caused by OO being asynchronous and having a one-OO-per-user design: it receives a file name to convert, then backgrounds itself and exits the calling process. Worse, if OO is in the process of exiting after conversion, the next request(s) for conversion are simply discarded. I've tried to work around all this in the script. Obviously OO is designed for single documents only. Leaving OO running seperately is advisable for speed, but brings little advantage for the script. If someone is interested in a copy speak up, but it contains a few individual extras and isn't a general-purpose effort.

Auto-convert many wordperfect files to Openoffice?
How can I best convert a huge pile (1000s) of Wordperfect files to Openoffice? There is the libwpd.sf.net project, which contains a wpd2sxw program to convert wordperfect files to Openoffice files. This program i no good for 2 reasons: 1) It segfaults on 2 of 3 wordperfect files I tried, but produced acceptable results on the 3rd one. Openoffice 2.0.2 and 2.1 read all 3 wordperfect files fine. 2) As the name implies, wpd2sxw converts into OO 1.x files. These are non-standard, not widely used, at this point historic, and will soon be dead. Bad choice for converting an archive into. Obviously there must be a functional import filter in OO, but for batch conversion it's necessary to have that as a stand-alone program. Does something like this exist (google doesn't show me)?

Modifying Default Templates First, open either an existing OpenOffice.org template and modify it, or open a new document and edit it as necessary to create the desired template. You can define a document template for each OpenOffice.org module. The following describes how to proceed for text documents. 1.Save the document by choosing File - Templates - Save and saving the document in the My Templates category. 2.Choose File - Templates - Organize. 3.Double-click My Templates in the list on the left. You will see the user-defined templates in the user directory specified under Tools - Options - OpenOffice.org - Paths. Select the template you have just saved and open the context menu or open the submenu of the Commands button. 4.Choose Set As Default Template. The next time you open a new text document, the new document will be based on the new default template.

Re: Paradise connection - was OpenOffice 1.0.1
Hi Ian, what type of modem are you using? I have good results with an external 56k dynalink or US Robotics modem on Paradise in the rural setting. Telecom have also put chokes on our phone line. Our Laptop with an internal wincra* TM modem doesn't fare so well but we run it out over a network using Ipcop Firewall for dial up on a linux box. The external modem also protects the pc in case of power surges etc. Generally I have found Paradise to be very good apart from the occasional time they have been unavailable.

Chris was right, of course. I didn't even think about not having enough space on my disk, because I've had much more packages installed on my Debian system with the same partition size. I didn't take in account that a Debian system installed via Knoppix has neither stored the source nor the .deb files of all the large packages, though. I've removed some things from my disk and started over with 2.2 GB, but that still wasn't good enough. This time it only took longer for emrge to fill up my root partition. On the third attempt I moved all non-oo distfiles to another partition, which gave me 2.6 GB free disk space, and this time it worked :). That should roughly answer your question about the needed disk space. Surprisingly it took only between 6 and 7 hours to compile OpenOffice, which is much shorter than reported from many sides.

Re: OpenOffice Basic
I too am getting to grips with OpenOffice.org BASIC. The best book that I have is: Michael Koch, Special Edition Using StarOffice 6.0 published by Que, ISBN 0-7897-2833-8. I purchased it through Amazon. It contains just under 100 pages about StarOffice BASIC, unfortunately a lot of that is about programming in BASIC e.g Using Condition Expressions. I have found the SDK essential for getting to grips with the underlying model but I have, at times, found it difficult to find what I am looking for. E.g. I can find no reference to the Gallery. I have not found the macro recorder to be particularly useful for learning OOo BASIC. The following is a recording of typing Hello World into a text document: sub HelloWorld rem -- rem define variables dim document as object dim dispatcher as object rem -- rem get access to the document document = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame dispatcher = createUnoService(com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper) rem -- dim args1(0) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue args1(0).Name = Text args1(0).Value = Hello World dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, .uno:InsertText, , 0, args1()) end sub = Now for a hand coded version which inserts Hello World at each selection (You can have multiple selections in OOo Writer documents). Option Explicit const UnoStub = com.sun.star const UnoDesktop = UnoStub .frame.Desktop const UnoText = UnoStub .text const unoTextDocument = unoText .TextDocument Sub HelloWorld Dim oDesktop as object, oDoc as object, oSelections as object Dim iCSP as integer oDesktop = createUnoService(UnoDesktop) oDoc=oDesktop.getCurrentComponent() if not oDoc.supportsService(UnoTextDocument) then Msgbox (Not a text document, 0+16, Error) '16 = stop icon exit sub end if oSelections = oDoc.CurrentSelection for iCSP = 0 to oSelections.count -1 oSelections(iCSP).String = Hello World next icsp End Sub == I have found the following useful: msgbox oVar.dbg_methods() msgbox oVar.dbg_properties() msgbox oVar.dbg_SupportedInterfaces for finding out what methods, properties and interfaces an object, oVAR, supports/has. I have written a number of OpenOffice.org macros and if I can be of assistance with particular macros / problems then ask - I may be able to help. Thanks, Ian Laurenson

Re: OpenOffice Basic
If you want todo some basic programing with linux you could try. http://gambas.sf.net http://hbasic.sf.net or the delphi Part of Borlands free kylix IDE. http://www.borland.com Gambas is very very easy to pick up. And texstar does have a Mandrake package avaliable I think. If not there is a source listed on the website for mandrake packages. It also has some decent doc and tutorials. However it is interpreted so if you want to make simple apps try delphi. All three have the draw your GUI style tools.

Envelopes and Address Book in OpenOffice Writer
Hi, Somewhere I got the impression that Nick Rout runs his legal practice with Linux and uses OpenSource office software, for example OpenOffice suite. I would like to do that but two things about OO writer bug me. 1. It seems impossible to format an envelope on its own and I do not want to place an envelope at the top of letters anyway. 2. The OO address book does not seem to me to have flexible address fields. Is there a way to add another address line, for example? My address database has two street address fields and I want to be able to use them. Could Nick comment, please. John.

In the tar there are two installers.. one is called setup, the other install. setup does a single user install, and the default path is ~/Openoffice.org install does the shared install into /usr/local/Openoffice.org (I think that's where it went)..

Forgot to add. If you're putting this onto distributed headless X servers, put the shared install of Openoffice on a nfs mount, so you can have a single install point.
