Die eingebaute Hilfe gibt keinen Hinweis darauf, wie ich die www-connectivity abschalten kann. As you imply, the problem with a cell containing only an e-mail address is that this will have been automatically converted to a hyperlink, and when you double-click on the cell in order to edit it, the hyperlink will be stimulated and OpenOffice will at least hesitate whilst a new mail message is created. What happens next will depend on what you have registered as your mail client. Perhaps you have none: maybe you use a web interface to your mail. Was kann ich tun? Many things: o If you do not want the addresses to act as hyperlinks, go to Tools | AutoCorrect Options... | Options and remove the tick from URL Recognition - before you enter them. o If you do not want the addresses to act as hyperlinks but you have already entered them, select the cell - or even a range, such as an entire column - and go to Format | Default Formatting (or Ctrl+M). o If you need to edit the address in a cell, you can double-click on a part of the cell outside the hyperlink - either additional text or in a blank part of the cell. Expand the column width if necessary to allow this. You cannot edit the address directly, but you can replace it. o Alternatively, you can remove the hyperlink first, as above, and then edit the original text. I trust this helps.

As such, you'll have to rewrite the macros in a language that AOo understands. That said, there used to be a program that converted MSO macros to AOo. I don't know if that program is still available. When migrating to AOo from MSO, two things are vital: * Rewrite all macros in a language that AOo can utilize; * Construct all templates from scratch, specifically for AOo; That means that your organization will either have to train somebody in-house to write macros, and construct templates, or hire an independent contractor to perform that task for your organization. > (e) Some of the features that are easily available in MS Office could not be > found in Open office such as;- > (i) Spelling / Grammar check Dictionaries in all of the official languages of India have been released. However, they have not been maintained. OTOH, fixing errors, adding words, deleting words, etc to a dictionary is fairly straightforward. Thus far, the grammar checkers have focused on European languages. Language Tool has a basic rule set for Malayalam. Developing functional rule sets requires both a deep knowledge of the grammar of the language, and a comprehensive understanding of XML. Understanding when, and more importantly, when _not_ to create rules used by Language Tool is an art form that few people master. Between the various grammar checkers, roughly 40 languages can claim some type of grammar checking. However, I wouldn't rely on any of them. OTOH, I've yet to see any of them do what MSO specializes in --- claim the sentence is grammatically incorrect, change it to what it calls correct, and then claim the correction is grammatically incorrect, and change it back to the way it was, repeating the cycle ad infinitum. > (ii) View files side by side with Synchronous scrolling I've seen that demoed in an OpenOffice.org fork, but don't know which fork it was, nor how it was done. :( For the time being, assume it isn't present in AOo, and won't be included for a couple of versions. > (iii) Converting the impress document into PDF results in the printing of > all hidden slides too. That is a configuration issue. Change the settings, and the behaviour will change. jonathon - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
