Okay, this information was not helpful at all. I will remove the program &
go with something more user friendly/reliabile. Please remove me from any
email subsriptions, I don't have time to hunt down the answers thru your
chat rooms. Thanks for the customer service.

Hi,
Thank you for your recent email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The OpenOffice.org project welcomes your participation.
The mailing list [email protected] is normally for subscribed users
only, but we also want to help new users of OpenOffice.org so we allow
other emails into onto our mailing list. Since you have received this
email, it means that your email has been allowed onto the mailing list
and may be read by many many other users.
The vast majority of other users on this mailing list are volunteers who
are happy to share information with others and frequently help other
users.
The normal ettiquette on mailing lists is that you respond only to the
mailing list address, and not directly to email address of the person
asking the question. However sometimes mailing list members who notice
that you are not subscribed may also copy you on responses they make to
the mailing list.
Therefore you may not receive all responses at your email address.
You can of course join our helpful community mailing lists - there is no
cost and you are only required to restrict your emails to OpenOffice.org
topics:
- [email protected] : for OpenOffice.org questions, or when you feel
comfortable, replies to questions;
- [email protected] : for OpenOffice.org general discussions;
- [email protected] : for questions developing compiling OpenOffice.org;
and
- [email protected] : for programming using the OpenOffice.org APIs.
There are several ways to participate in the mailing lists:
- subscribe to the discuss mailing list by emailing
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
NOTE: you can always remove yourself from the mailing list by sending an
email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] AND DO NOT FORGET TO
ALSO
REPLY TO THE CONFIRMATION EMAIL!
- subscribe to the relevant newsserver gateway for the mailing list on
news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.openoffice.questions (i.e.
[email protected]) news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.openoffice.general
(i.e. [email protected])
There is no compulsion to join the mailing list or the news server
gateway.
If you only want to read replies without interacting with the mailing list
then all you need to do is to use the websites :
- http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.openoffice.general or
- http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/SummarizeList?listName=discuss
Simply look down in the list until you find your question. Often the
answers
are shown following the question. Sometimes however the answers get
separated
from the question, and show up separate in the list. Simply start at your
question and then move forward in the time sequence.
The benefit of using this approach is, quite often the questions and
answers
are grouped together - either by question (on gmane.org) or in the order
they
were received (on the openoffice.org site).
There are also additional facilities where you can search for answers.
Often the question you want to ask has already been raised, and the
answers
are in the archive. You are encouraged to check the archives as your
question
has probably been asked and answered previously :
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/SearchList?listName=discuss ( note
that
you will probably want to change from "search subject" to "search
body")
Many people check out the archives first, and then if they can't find an
answer, they ask the question in the mailing list.
NOTE: that all emails sent to the mailing list are public, including your
email address. We do have filters to prevent virus and spam going to the
mailing list, but this may not stop mail harvesters from getting your
email
address for spam.
Please also remember that you should always reply to
[email protected]
only, and not directly to the person helping you. There are literally
thousands of people participating in the mailing list. Others on the list
can also help.
Also by replying to the mailing list, everyone else benefits from the
questions and answers raised.
Other useful resources include :
- http://user-faq.openoffice.org/#FAQ : where many questions that are
frequently asked have been answered;
- http://documentation.openoffice.org : where you will find alot of
relevant
documentation;
- http://www.ooforum.org : an online help forum;
- http://OOoDocs.org : extra documentaion;
- http://OOExtras.org : has templates, artwork, labels, etc
- http://OOoMacros.org : has extra macros and documentation
- http://codesnippets.services.openoffice.org : has macro examples
I hope that some of the above has been helpful for you,
CP Hennessy
