Re: [discuss] Open Office
I'm quite happy with an iPod touch which is essentially an iphone with no phone. There are two things that make precision on that tiny screen work. First when the placement of an i-beem cursor is needed you get your finger near the word and a magnifying glass opens just above or beside your finger letting you easily place the i-been between two letters. Second is the keyboard works along the long axis of the screen. (Turn the device from portrait to landscape and the image turns to follow.) When you press a letter of course your finger covers a couple of the keys but the key you are pressing is enlarged and appears clearly off to the side of your finger. The iPad also has a doc and with the dock supports a full size keyboard. They both also support bluetooth and so I assume bluetooth keyboard and mouse support is possible although I have never checked to see if it is.

Porting to the iPAD would require special approval from Apple and is not likely to happen. That depends on what you mean by porting. The full OOo function set is too rich and complex to make a tolerable iPad application (far too many menus and submenus), and even in a cut-down version, any screen/keyboard/mouse code would have to be redesigned and recoded in Objective-C and Cocoa Touch, while any other code would have to be put into C, C++, Objective-C, or Objective-C++, but, depending on the state of the code for the Mac OS X version of OOo (which I cannot speak to at all), it might be easy or difficult to create a decent cut-down version that would meet Apple's requirements -- though probably difficult. It may also be that OOo is too large for the iPad, which does not have file-based virtual memory. I think it would be strategically wiser for someone to design an iPad application from scratch that uses OpenDocument for file storage. -- John W Kennedy You can, if you wish, class all science-fiction together; but it is about as perceptive as classing the works of Ballantyne, Conrad and W.

RE: [discuss] Open Office problem/ Help-seekers
Dear Everybody: (No presumption of privacy here!) Recently I have seen a number of exchanged messages about people who post here for help with specific applications within Oo. I have a few questions about what seems to have transpired: 1) Did somebody complain about lack or privacy in regard to a post? Do many contributors have the expectation or presumption of a measure of privacy that simply does not exist? 2) Is there a problem with people who post specific questions here, looking for help (possibly in that others have the feeling that many of these questions fill the space without contributing much of value to the development and marketing of Oo?) 3) Is this possible expectation/concern a real need to the group to separate this type of request? 4) Is there a better area for such posters to ask free help-related questions and have a reasonably credible expectation of getting the help they need? 5) If item 4 exists, could we not post something like a sticky note to catch the attention of the help seekers and redirect them? If so, how strongly do we need to word the redirection to be effective, yet not appear angry or condescending? I hope this comes over as a somewhat diplomatic approach to the situation, but I may be short on some degree of close familiarity with the interpersonal dynamics existing.

RE: [discuss] Open Office problem/ Help-seekers
Hi Bruce, Thanks for such a well worded, reasonable and helpful post. As a happy OpenOffice.org user for many years, I have passed on the program via CD to literally hundreds of now happy users, and have subscribed to this list/forum for many years now. One of the problems I see at times which saddens me, is the lack of any real help at times, (I say at times, because quite often real help is given and a solution is thus there for all to benefit from) given to new users, or users with real problems. At times some will post a questions which is relatively basic and many current users fully grasp how to solve such a problem, but instead of any help given, exception is taken with a misworded question or a question which may be technically incorrect, but the actual meaning is perfectly clear, and some will amuse themselves by picking on the misworded section or technical mistake, rather than help. This would no doubt be rather frustrating to the person who is seeking some assistance, and would cause many to stop using this wonderful program. It is sort of like a person who visits Australia from the USA, they suffer an injury which greatly concerns them, so they dial 911 for help. Thankfully Telstra divert the call to the 000 system, and an Ambulance is dispatched. But on arrival the Ambulance crew correctly point out to the person that they are in Australia now, and that to get help in Australia you need to dial 000, and they then drive of without actually providing the assistance that moved the person to dial 911 in the first place. This would naturally be unacceptable, and if any of us were in the position we would not be happy. So if a person was to post a reasonable and real question for which they would appreciate some help in this list, then this would be a good opportunity to give such help. In so doing there would be no problem in alerting a user who did not know that this was a public forum that it is, and advice them what to do if they wanted to preserve their privacy, such as giving them the links to un-subscribe etc, just as it would not be a problem for the Ambulance crew to let the person know that they should dial 000 in the future. But it is not appropriate to just mock them and not provide a real answer or give any real help. -Original Message- From: Bruce Martin [mailto:brucemarti...@gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, 20 February 2010 7:43 AM To: discuss@openoffice.org Subject: RE: [discuss] Open Office problem/ Help-seekers Dear Everybody: (No presumption of privacy here!)

Do many contributors have the expectation or presumption of a measure of privacy that simply does not exist? Some do not know that this is a public forum and so may well be concerned about their privacy, the kind thing to do would be while addressing their problem to let them know that it is, and give them a link to un-scribe if they so wish. 2) Is there a problem with people who post specific questions here, looking for help (possibly in that others have the feeling that many of these questions fill the space without contributing much of value to the development and marketing of Oo?) More than likely. Some may at times become frustrated with apparently simple, or even un-resolvable questions. But every user is at a different level, and to give the person who has asked a question their dignity, we can if we wish address their issue in a helpful manner, or if we wish to degrade them, we can do that as well. But in my humble opinion I don't think this actually helps anyone but the person scratching his ego. 3) Is this possible expectation/concern a real need to the group to separate this type of request? Perhaps, or perhaps we could simply answer the question to the best of our ability, and let them know where they can go for further assistance to protect their privacy if they so wish, or again un-scribe if they so wish. 4) Is there a better area for such posters to ask free help-related questions and have a reasonably credible expectation of getting the help they need? This is an excellent way where a new user, or one with a problem can get answers to their problems, that is if they actually get an answer, not simply treated as a simpleton. 5) If item 4 exists, could we not post something like a sticky note to catch the attention of the help seekers and redirect them?

You'll have to find and delete the lock file for your brochure. It should have a name like .~lock./yourfilename/.odt# (and the dot shows it's a hidden file, so you might have to tell your operating system to show hidden files). Once you've done that, your file should again be editable, if locking was the only problem. But getting that dialog implies that something may have happened to the file extension, so you may need to bring up Writer first and browse to the file to open it. Ordinarily, a locked file would open, but in Read Only mode.

There are some people who sell OpenOffice.org with true value added for the amount they charge but there are lots of rip-off merchants who do not give you anything more than you can always download for free from our official website: www.openoffice.org Can I suggest you delete the dud version from your computer and then download the official version. Thank you so much for your false advertising and my lost money, I will be sure to notify anyone interested in this program to stay away from it. If you go to our website you will see that the true OpenOffice.org community does not engage in false advertising and will never lose you money because we do not charge for OpenOffice.org. By all means, tell people to avoid opal office, if they are no good, but do tell them about our official site. I am sure you have had this email several times and will not bother to respond or return my money. We cannot return your money as we did not take it from you, but I hope you appreciate our sympathetic response.

The Firefox tip was a really neat one. Could it be added to the instructions on the downloading page? And while on the subject of downloading pages and files I'd like to suggest that directions for curl and wget be added to that page as well.

Hi Bob, I think this is probably more an issue that you are much more practiced with MSO than OOo. Eg go to view and page beak preview and you will see exactly how your sheet will be broken up into pages. If you go to Format and page you can set the format of the page. I think this might be under file or something in Excel but since it is to do with the document format it seems more logical to have it in the formatting list. Hope this helps.

Re: [discuss] Open Office not so open...
This activity may look like a bit of a rip-off, if all they give is a link to the official OOo download site, but it is quite legal. If they supply other services, like a CD or their own download site with other software available, then perhaps the small amount charged is quite reasonable. To a certain extent OOo needs people like this to promote it. We don't have other ways of advertising it. So as long as the amounts charged are not unreasonably large I think we should let it happen.

Re: [discuss] Open Office 2.2.0 Writer Issue: Locks up when pasting content from certain websites
Hi, thanks for the information. Thus, I normally except, that after the copy action and the waiting to resolve the URL links to the pictures, the pictures should be visible. The performance problem, that the Writer is blocked until the picture links are resolved, will hopefully be solved in OOo 2.3. The problem, that the linked pictures aren't visible, can't be reproduced in my environment. Questions: - Do you have the same experience with other websites? - Do you have the correct internet connection settings? See menu Tools - Options - Internet - Proxy. You can tried out, if the resolving of URLs in general works by inserting a linked picture into a new Writer document: -- new Writer document -- menu Insert - Picture - From File -- mark checkbox named Link in the opened dialog -- insert the following text into the filename field of the opened dialog: http://www.mopo.de/images/dummy/ad-mopo-epaper.gif This is the logo of a german newspaper -- confirm the dialog Check, if the logo is visible.

Re: [discuss] Open Office and Win CE
On Sun, 2007-02-18 at 07:12 -0500, Paul C. Ross wrote: Dear Sir: I am a recent user of Open Office and find it to be a rather excellent set of applications. In addition to using the desktop computer with WinXP, I use a NEC MobilePro 900C with Win CE4.2 as the OS. The writing and spreadsheet tools for this very useful NEC machine are, to say the least, awful. Is there any work planned to develop a version of Open Office for this environment? The user community is small but enthusiastic and the Win CE 4.2 platform on the NEC 900C has many advantages over a laptop. Makes you wonder why MS haven't ported a full version of MS Office or at least Works to CE. Probably because it would hit the market for Windows on the desktop where they get many times more for a Windows license than they would for a CE license. They will probably say the device is not powerful enough to run MS Office and that is an issue with OOo too because of the size of the megalithic code that is common to all the apps. However as PDAs and mobiles get ever more RAM it seems only a matter of time before full office tools come to handhelds although its might be more likely on embedded Linux than CE. Its instant on, the machine is small but very easy to use and the battery charge lasts between 5 and 10 hours. There is a German company making a software suite for this system called Softmaker and while the writing program is ok, the Spread sheet is almost unusable and no companion program exists for doing presentations in this suite of applications. Clearly not all of the Open Office functionality is needed on the CE platform. Its not that easy to separate functions out of OOo. That is why you can't just download Writer. What is needed is support for file interchangeability with the desktop applications and support for the formatting options like tables in the text processing. There is mobile office for Symbian that works with ODF so should have pretty good file exchange with OOo but I don't know of anything on WinCE. In the Spreadsheet, full and well supported functions and the ability to edit and modify the sheet or create a new one on the fly is needed. In the presentation unit, editing and modifying a presentation and the ability to show it on screen and on another device (monitor or projector) are key requirements. Resources are tight in the OOo project so I don't see a port to WinCE as very likely when its difficult enough to get the resources for a Mac Port. Probably your best hope is that one of the many developers does something that supports OpenDocument Format. Snag is that CE is more likely to be linked with MS who seem very reluctant to support ODF ;-) There are several devices using the Win CE OS that are in use today that really need the kind of modern application package that Open Office provides. These include the HP Jornada, the NEC Mobile Pro and DOCOMO Sigmarion III. And some people in the user community are beginning to apply the Linux OS to these devices in order to increase the functionality of them. I think in the longer term Linux and OOo on such devices is more likely since OOo is already ported to Linux.
