You cannot threaten someone with the law. The law is. The consequences exist for illegal activity and that which violates the user's ISP policy. You have chilled free speech on this list. The moderators, collectively, have allowed this list to get so out of hand, I am amazed that any questions get answered. Instead of learning the program, I am spending time trying to get you to do your jobs and ensure this is a safe place for people to post questions that may sound stupid, as people learn the program. Please furnish me with the name and email address of the people who choose moderators on this list. Also, while there is no right to post on this list, there is a set of assumptions based on this product being an open source project that is freely available. Hence your statement about posting on this list being a privilege is both specious and misleading. Likely you meant it that way. It is wholly disingenuous to support an open source/free product and then say that everyone on this list doesn’t have the right to be here. It is not in keeping with the apache or open source projects. When a moderator so greatly misspeaks, it is no wonder that the users on this list are at each other's throats.

Re: Reminder on list policy
In the 1980s and more in the 90s, Unix and Linux developers began the 'Developer Attitude' - We know it all and you are just too stupid to find it out yet. Go read the (curse word) manual, you misbegotten worm! Sadly, this attitude became the Cool thing to do, continuing in many Help forums, Email, and on IRC. We are only now, in the 21st Century, coming to realize that this attitude, albeit in long-time practice by many, isn't such a good idea. Users want reasonable attitudes from helpers. There are more alternatives now than ever before. A person doesn't have to take endless abuse to get (or give) help. In fact, if helpers and forum managers will take the time to be pleasant and listen, and reply decently to normal user's questions, they will be rewarded with increased activity and usually more people using and enjoying the product. I mentioned IRC because the Irc.Freenode.Org #OpenOffice channel is often empty of helpers and if anyone feels like answering a few question he or she might be able to please a lot of people. Thank you everyone for providing assistance to all users of Apache OpenOffice.

OpenOffice can save in Word's .doc format or even better It can email your resume as a .doc file but still save it in the default .odt format. To use the e-mail feature; with the document open in Writer click File-Send-E-mail as Microsoft Word. This will open a blank e-mail in whatever your systems default e-mail program is with the resume as an attachment. I hope this helps you out.

Re: sending resume using open office
If you are sending out resumes, they need to be in .doc format or .pdf format. You can save the document to both of those formats from within OpenOffice. For .pdf format, there is an icon in the standard toolbar just above your document. Click on that to create the .pdf file. For .doc format, choose FILE from the menu, then SAVE AS. Then browse the FILE FORMAT dropdown to find the .doc format (MS Word 1997-2003). -- Tim === I know the plans I have for you: Plans to prosper you and not to harm you; Plans to give you hope and a future. --- God (Jeremiah 29:11) On 1/8/2014 10:45 PM, jcish...@suddenlink.net wrote: To whom it may concern, My name is John, I have been using open office for some time now and fine it as good or better than windows office.

Re: A suggestion for those un-interested in off-topic arguments

It is an easy and convenient way to avoid the nonsense polluting your e-mail inbox. with all respect, this is BAD advice. It's an easy way to accomplish nothing AND get ignored or start more flamewars. First, digest mode avoids NO pollution at all. If there are 100 useless or nonsense messages you still get ALL of them, just in one batch, and mixed with all the others so they are HARDER to filter out. Second, novices often answer to digests, when they don't start whole new threads, by simply hitting Reply to the digest themselves. So: - almost nobody bothers to open those answers because they have a meaningless subject (Re: digest of users@openoffice...) - every subscriber gets all the messages of the previous day AGAIN (which makes people with non-flat rate mobile connections very happy) - even people with flat rate connection start the usual flame war between top and bottom posters because they get 5 lines of new text before or after 1000 lines of digest Marco PS: not for novices to mailing list, but people who wants to avoid the nonsense polluting the inbox can completely filter out uninteresting threads with this procmail trick: http://freesoftware.zona-m.net/how-ignore-uninteresting-threads-in-mailing-lists/ I use it since when I wrote about it, and it works. I only realized that there must have been pretty good flamewars here recently when I got Rob's reminder about list policies yesterday -- M.
