Downloads are easy to measure. Installations and removals aren't.

Yesterday we reached the 40 million download mark for Apache OpenOffice 
3.4.


Note how the most useless stat was selected.

No one is going to make what is really matter public, like (the number of
new installations – the number of removals).

And, of course, those downloads that are used to install on several 
computers, as I have often done.

Are these actual Page Breaks, which put you on a new page (current page and 
total pages are shown at bottom left of status bar, on the botton of the 
screen), or are they solid black lines under ewach paragraph?

Check your Paragraph Style (F11) and see if the Insert box on the 
Text flow tab is checked.


Are you perhaps thinking of a text (Writer) document - not the 
questioner's spreadsheet?

You're right I should read better.

o Select the entire sheet. (Click in the top left corner - where the 
row and column numbers meet.)

o Copy.
o Paste into a new sheet.
o Shuffle and rename sheets if desired.

This should preserve formulae on the sheet in question, but may 
corrupt any references to the relevant sheet from other sheets - so 
you will need to check that.


I trust this helps.

Re: Request Advice on Use of OO's Base & MySQL to Accomplish a Task Done Nicely by MS Access

[Martin Groenescheij]

To create Forms and or Labels use Writer
To place data on your Form or Label go to Insert --> Fields --> Other 
(Cntr+F2) and select the Database Tab
Now select Mail Merge fields from a database and click on the table or 
view and select the field you like to insert.

Rest is logical

Hello All,

I've used Open Office on my MacBook Pro for about  three years and
like it, but have not done anything particularly challenging.  I'm using
Apache OpenOffice 3.4.0 now.

I need advice as to whether OO's Base with MySQL can be used in a
practical way to do some tasks, before making a major attempt to
switch from MS Access to OO & MySQL for this work.  I started to
make this switch 3 years ago but stopped when I learned that Base
does not include its own database engine.  Sample tasks are as follows:

For many years I used MS Access to facilitate mailing CDs, later DVDs,
to attendees of ACM SIGAda Conferences, now morphed into HILT
Conferences.  I'd use the Conference Attendee List in the Access DB
to perform two jobs to support this work:

 * Print shipping Labels via a DYMO Printer.  The labels would
   include a graphic, the shipping address, the return address,
   and the number of disks to be included in the package.

 * Print US Customs Forms to mail to attendees from outside the
   USA.  Initially the US Forms were a single sheet, then later they
   changed to a triplicate format.  I handled that by separating the
   forms and printing on three copies in succession, being careful
   to keep the forms with the same pre-printed number together.
   The info printed was essentially the same as that used on the
   Shipping Labels.

The critical capability provided by Access, besides driving jobs from its
database, was the capability to control placement of the text very
precisely, to match the fields on the pre-printed forms.

I'd really rather be able to do this job running OO's Base and MySQL
directly from Mac OS X, rather than starting my Windows XP Virtual
Machine, mechanized via Parallels, so that I can use MS Access
from my MS Office XP Professional software.

Do such tasks seem appropriate for OO's Base & MySQL?  Can Base
provide very critical control of the positioning of text?

v/r,

Tom Panfil

It is marked as CONFIRMED, which means that someone from the QA group
could reproduce it.

I could reproduce it. It is a regression introduced since the latest
release, so this has to be fixed before the next release. Up to now, no
developer is working on it, but please follow the bug status for
updates, you will be notified for every change in it, as you are the
reporter.

Problem with open office.org

I suddenly have page breaks under every line in my spreadsheet.  Besides 
manually deleting each line (editdelete manual break...row break), how can 
I get this task done quickly?  I've tried highlighting all of the lines and 
deleting the page break, but it doesn't work.  Please help!

AOO 4 Search Function

[Shari Smith]

I am having an issue with the search function in V4. It doesn't find a word
unless the case is matched whether or not Match Case is ticked.

I filed a bug report *Bug
121880
*
And it was marked as resolved, but it's still happening to me, which you
can see in the screen cast I made. If this is happening only to myself, is
there something I can check or do to get it to work correctly.

Thanks!
