[dev] OpenOffice.org 2.0.1

[Louis Suarez-Potts]

MEDIA ALERT

21 December 2005

New release of the free office suite OpenOffice.org offers additional
features

The OpenOffice.org Project today released version 2.0.1 of its office
suite. Eight weeks after the major release 2.0 was published, a first
update is available that brings along new features and remedies minor  
bugs.


The main focus of the new release was correcting bugs, in particular in
localisations. However, a number of new features were added as well. So,
for example, it is now possible to disable and hide particular
application settings, which comes in handy for central administration in
networks. Moreover, a new keyboard shortcut permits the user to return
to a saved cursor position. The bullets and numbering feature has been
expanded, and a new mail merge feature is available.

Last but not least, Macedonian has been added as an official language.
Several other localized versions are also available, such as Turkish,
Russian, Slovenian, Hungarian, Estonian and Bulgarian.

Re: [dev] how to change the user profile in oo 2.0 ?

Hi Joerg,

thanks a lot for this lesson :-)

 I am thinking about to open an RFE for this ...

 For what?
 For various reasons there is close to no chance that the URL-requirement can 
 be changed.
 Nor should it, IMNSHO. And you can use environment variables even now (unless 
 they
 conflict with one of the internally defined bootstrap variables).

you're right, i thought about a RFE for the sversion.ini handling, but if it's 
still working,
there is really no need for this ...

merry x-mas

Oliver

[dev] Communicate with OOo from another application via DDE

[Nils-Odd Solberg]

Hi,

I have found and used these built in OOo BASIC methods

* DDEExecute(nDDEChannel, command)
* DDEInitiate(Server, Topic)
* DDEPoke(nDDEChannel, item, data)
* DDERequest(nDDEChannel, item)
* DDETerminateAll()

when communicating and exchanging data with another application (a quite
old MS Windows application). This works pretty fine :-) All the
communication that starts in/from OOo works fine.

The issue is when the communication starts in/from the other
application, typically when sending an DDEExecute() to OOo e.g. to start
an macro. Nothing happens. No errors or execptions seems to be raised.
Why? Any ideas? Any experience and knowledge with something similar?

Thanks in advance!
