I am a new user to this forum but a long-time user of OpenOffice.org.
I have been working to understanding OpenOffice.org XForms. I found VERY
LITTLE information on the internet on how to do it but was able to
create a practical form I think would be instructive for others
struggling with this. It uses all the OO.o form controls that are
reasonable for this type of form.
I have attached it to this e-mail. Is it possible to get it posted to
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation for others to
benefit from?
Valden,
I have been away for a month and only now have the chance to reply to
you. I notice that in the meantime you and Clayton have put the document
on the wiki.
Thank you *very much* for writing this document. I have not had time to
read it in detail, but I have also been looking for some instructional
information on XForms for a long time and, like you, I have found very
little.
One of the few articles I did find is this file on J. David Eisenberg’s
website. http://books.evc-cit.info/xforms_ooo_06_08_15.odt
Can I get author permission?
As others have noted, you need to register at the OOoAuthors website
(not just for this mailing list) and let us know your login name before
we can give you author permission.
I would like to post it for review at
http://oooauthors.org/en/authors/user_howtos/
I have put your document in that folder and submitted it for review.
