Installing OO.o

[Nicholas Cady]

Please help me. I have been using OpenOffice Writer on a Vista computer for 
several years. I just bought a Dell Windows 10 computer, and downloaded 
OpenOffice to it. It ran sort of OK, but Windows got quite balky so I deleted 
the OO.o.

I really want to use OO.o Writer again. But I read in one place that you need 
Java for functionality, and in another that you don’t. So could you please tell 
me what I really do need to install and run OO.o Writer?

Thank you for your info and help   --   Nick Cady,

You can do that by forcing changes the software's global settings from
the main menu "/Tools -> Options../" item.

This works, but does not give you the flexibility of creating and using
your own personal default template for the Writer word processor.
See: https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1161

I can't find any way to permanently change default font

[Doug Harris]

I am a writer, and I create a number of new files daily. Every time I do
so, I have to manually change the font/size from Times New Roman to
Calibri, my font of choice, 11 pt being my size of choice.
I can't find a way to make that a permanent change.
Please help.

Re: Writer not accessible on Mac

[Adam Samec]

Hello,

for those interested, I found out that at least LibreOffice Writer (I have 
tried 5.3.0) is actually able to read back text in the document edit field when 
typing or navigating within the document if I enable the "Book mode with two 
pages as in an open book". Although with some inconveniences, particularly, 
each line of text is treated as a separate edit field which causes VoiceOver to 
announce extra information each time you move to another line.

However, there are more accessibility issues in LibreOffice, for instance, some 
pop-up menus are not working and some parts of Preferences cannot be accessed 
or lead to an application crash, that is, almost the same problems as in 
OpenOffice, but at least the most important thing, screen reader feedback in 
the document content, is working in LibreOffice, as opposed to OpenOffice.

Best regards
Adam Samec

If we know why they are wanting the template, then one might be able to
either suggest an alternative, or create it, using the specifications
provided by the individual that wanted the "Access Denied" template.

That is probably because the "Access Denied" templates appear to be
concentrated on the landing page, and other heavily viewed pages.

Given that the Apache OpenOffice website maintainers don't have access
to the site that delivers the content ...
