Assuming PostScript[1] as printscript[2] is unknown to me.

Install a postscript printer driver that saves to file.

LOL. OOXML is a double standard that even Microsoft can not yet 
deliver on. Office 2007 and Office 2010 both use the deprecated 
transitional version.

Any OOXML document found in the wild is most probably an orphan.

I can only tell you where it was:
Tools - Options...
+OpenOffice.org - Appearance
Text Boundaries (2nd from the top)

Perhaps they just have it off by default? Seems silly to re-program 
just for a tick box setting.

OO.o traditionally, and thus LO, do not handle RTF especially well 
from memory (IIRC images are linked by default rather than embedded).

But it gets worse. The RTF standard is actually a Microsoft standard 
which they update with each new version of Word. RTF's main advantage 
is that it is text based, not binary. But even reading it as text you 
get cryptic short codes that have precious little human meaning.

I agree with Stephan that the DOC format is the better all purpose 
format at this time. WordPerfect should also handle this format. Do 
not be discouraged by the fact that DOCX is "meant" to replace it. 
Neither Microsoft Office 2007 or 2010 produce ISO standard DOCX. 
Instead they produce the deprecated ECMA-376 1st edition that was 
introduced to the ISO system before changes were made. This makes 
current DOCX documents an orphan format with no standards future.

If your documents are meant for printing and not collaborating i would 
export them as PDF's. Difference in available fonts on the host 
computer means that you can get different numbers of words on a page 
from one system to another

One suggestion Jeremy
Adding only "subscribe" as both subject and content may reduce a SPAM 
score.

Re: [libreoffice-users] 3.4.1 startup issues on Windows 7 x64 Ultimate

2011-07-01 Thread Michael Adams
I saw some other advice about deleting the profile folder: that worked, 
except LibreOffice is failing to detect Java 6r26 as a vaild JRE. I 
would recommend changing the detection so it would work for any version 
6 or 7 binary folder.
