I agree. I thought of buying a car, but discovered that one has to 
take driving lessons and pass a test and learn all about licences and 
insurance, so I gave up. And I was tempted to invest in a piano, but 
again it seems I would have to take lessons in order to be able to play it ...



Having said that, I love this application suite ...


Good: we agree on that. But I espouse learning.

I must confess, I am spoiled as a very long term Apple Mac user and if I
cannot figure out how to use an application without looking for a user's
guide or manual I tend to walk away from the application and try another.

Having said that, I love this application suite much better than MS Office.
Okay, so it does not have some items we have become used to in their suite
of apps, but no biggie as far as I can tell.

Thanks again for such a great apps.

OK, the good news is that you learn from your mistakes, now you have to 
learn that hijacking someone else message is a bad habit.
If you want help start a new email which makes it easier to archive by 
subject and by the way" please help me" is not a descriptive subject.

For a computer a document can be anything e.g. a Word document, a 
Drawing, a Spreadsheet or a Photo.
The computer rely on the users to define the type of document e.g. .doc, 
.odt, .pdf or .jpg
Most applications saves with the correct file type, but allow to change 
it by the user.

Hello,
I use Apache Open Office and would like to insert the file/path into the 
document so I know where it is next time. I’ve tried going to insert, fields, 
other, file name (type), path/file name (format) and insert. When I do this I 
don’t get the path and file name – all I get is “path/file name” added but 
that’s not what I need. How do I add the proper file name of my document that I 
just typed?

Thanks so much.

  Greetings,
 
  How do I correct the following:
 
  There is a red underscore under every word, even when it is spelled 
  correctly. The only way I have found to get rid of it is to go to
  Tools
  Language
  For all text
  None
 
  This disables spell check completely.
 
  Seeing the red underscore under every word is annoying and not helpful.
 
  Thank you most kindly. Other than this issue, I very much enjoy using 
  Open Office.
 
  Sincerely,

 Katheryn,
 The list members would be able to be of better help if you
 included in your question the application that is red-underlining
 the words that you type.


I'm informed by private email that the problem was solved by deleting or 
renaming the OpenOffice User Profile.
