Instead of writing the text and then applying various levels of formatting to it, for example: headlines, sub-headlines, body text etc., we can write our document like: headingthis is heading/heading subthis is sub heading/sub bodyText formatiing is so easier this way in a large document/body User would be able to define thesemarkups, like heading means BookMan Old 20 pt Red Color etc. WYSWYG is OK for small documents but when they become more involved, keep a track of formatting gets tougher. TEX and LATEX provide exactly this functionality but they have a steep learning curve and are limited to mainly scientific community for largely Math Typesetting. Say I can make a toggle button for Interpreter mode. Press the button and start writing your document in this markup fashion. Once you're done, toggle the button and the whole document is interpreted and displayed in formatted manner and you able to write in that WYSIWYG manner too, ie without interpreting.

How about using the same device as in MS Word, that is, creating an
accent
with typing Ctrl+{accent}
before typing the character?
Otherwise, OO is a nice piece of software. In particular, including a
PDF

Have you tried any of the methods described in the HOW TO section at the

Windows user say method for this OS works well.

Dear all,

I need to open the Insert/Special Character menu and select my é from
the array. I would love OO to allow for some shortcuts to my favorite
'diacritrics' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diacritic) to speed my
typing. Some of my colleagues still stick to the other word
processing software because of that feature.
I went to the developer's page on the web site but could not decide if
this feature was: already implemented (I use 2.0.3), in project (which
sub-project) and I have no clue whether the OO community does or does
not want this sort of shortcuts to be implemented?
I was thinking of the classical shortcuts like {Ctrl '} for the cute
accent, {Ctrl `} for the grave one and perhaps {Ctrl ^} and {Ctrl
} (for the umlaut).
I can code in C++ but I really have no clue where to start with (and
which sub-project to contact). But again, perhaps you do not want these
shortcuts and perhaps they are already implemented somewhere.
Why code when
http://documentation.openoffice.org/HOW_TO/various_topics/Howto_special_char.pdf

German.

Getting styles imported and supporting the above in those styles would be good too if possible initially, but afterwards if necessary. If that functions, then it would seem suitable quality to me for inclusion. And extend it feature by feature block afterwards. That sounds reasonable.

Between 1995 and 2005, there were some 5 versions of Works, and with only a little work, I've found 3 fairly different file formats. * The Works file formats are wrapped in MS OLE, and that's documented as code in libgsf if not anywhere else.

Also have a look at http://documentation.openoffice.org/ for user guides and HOW-TOs on customizations of this type. I have cc'd the dev list so do look there for answers. For example the current.xml and default.xml files located under various accelerator\ directories in the DandC\user\applications\Openoffice2.0.org and under the program files/Openoffice2.0.org subdirectories contain all the keyboard shortcuts. These files can be modified instead the time consuming way of using the tools-customize method. I am particularly interested in the styles settings. The borders formatting defaults to .04 or .02 text spacing around the cell in a table when a border is added. I have tried changing the individual styles but many styles are linked to a base style. Not matter where I change these text spacings, they do not become my defaults. So a reference to the underlying configuration files or a note on how to change the borders default attributes to stay permanent would be nice.

Easy to use and fluidly interoperable with every major office suite, OpenOffice.org 2.0 realises the potential of open source. Besides a powerful new database module and advanced XML capabilities, OpenOffice.org natively supports the internationally standardised OpenDocument format, which several countries, as well as the U.S. state of Massachusetts, have established as the default for office documents. More than any other suite, OpenOffice.org 2.0 gives users around the globe the tools to be engaged and productive members of their society. Available in 36 languages, with more on the way, and able to run natively on Windows, Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X (X11) and several other platforms, OpenOffice.org banishes software segregation and isolation and dramatically levels the playing field. And, with its support for the OASIS standard OpenDocument format, OpenOffice.org eliminates the fear of vendor lock in or format obsolescence. The OpenDocument format can be used by any office application, ensuring that documents can be viewed, edited and printed for generations to come. OpenOffice.org 2.0 is a breath of hope for small economies that can now have a local language office suite well adapted to their needs and to their economical possibilities, reducing their dependency on the interests of proprietary software vendors. OpenOffice.org is on a path toward being the most popular office suite the world has ever seen and is providing users with safety, choice, and an opportunity to participate in one of the broadest community efforts the Internet has ever seen. As a member of that community, I'd like to offer my heartiest congratulations. - Jonathan Schwartz - President and CEO of Sun Microsystems. Built by a community including Sun Microsystems, its primary sponsor and contributor, Novell, Red Hat, Debian, Propylon, Intel, as well as independent programmers, translators, writers, and marketers; OpenOffice.org 2.0 demonstrates the success, dedication and proficiency of the open source software community. That community now includes the City of Vienna, which recently started deploying OpenOffice.org throughout. We are very happy about the functionality and quality of the OpenOffice.org software. We are confident that OpenOffice.org will be made available to all of our 18,000 workstation users. - Brigitte Lutz, City of Vienna. Louis Suárez-Potts, OpenOffice.org Community Manager, commented that OpenOffice.org 2.0 is the culmination of a collaborative process involving thousands working in dozens of languages everywhere in the world. It shows that open source can produce software of the highest quality and assure the robustness, usability and security that users expect in their office suite. In addition to the OpenDocument format, the redesigned user interface and a new database module, OpenOffice.org 2.0 also adds improved PDF support, a superior spreadsheet module, enhanced desktop integration and several other features that take advantage of its advanced XML capabilities, such as the ability to easily create, edit and use XForms.

Also your analysis will keep me saner. :-) I thought I replied to this earlier, but I don't see the response in the list. The macro works in 1.9.87. It also worked in 1.9.84 when I just tried it again. Now I'm officially puzzled. Linux 2.6.9 (Knopix/Debian Unstable) OOo installation via cpio. Hmm, wonder if it's distro related. I run FC3 (up-to-date) and Gnome. m87 certainly will not go past the built-in limit of 10 regardless of which tool I use. So far I have tried: RecentFilesListChanger-2003-10-28-02.sxd histmgr0.2.uno.zip Neither of which works. Sure would like to help track this down. 10 is not enoough for me. -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST.

Re: [dev] Login behaviour

The behaviour of logging in on the OOo site isn't as what can be expected of logging in on a site. Now if you login you get referred to the My start page page. This can become very annoying because if you spend some time browsing the OOo site and you have to log in at some stage you have to completely find your way back again to the page you where you were. Imo if you log in you should stay at the current page. Ask youself the following: do the majority of the people realy go or want to go the My start page page when they log in? If the My start page is important to people, I never use it, an extra link could be provided as soon as you login. Since there's already a main menu item reserved for this page e.g. an extra link on the location where the login input fields were, e.g. making the username clickable, would be sufficient. Cheers, You might like ot add your comments to http://documentation.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=23840 as it relates. -- Documentation Co-Lead http://documentation.openoffice.org/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I ran the macro in .84 again just to be sure, and it said it worked, but didn't. In the config files, you can add the PickListSize tags to user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Common.xcu: node oor:name=History prop oor:name=PickListSize oor:type=xs:int value20/value /prop ... I just did that and opened a couple files beyond the 4 that were in the list already and they got saved.
