RE: Spam (8.451):R: Assistence required for opening files in Apache OpenOffice 4.1.2.

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

Let me be get something clear first.

You are talking about a document that was protected against writing, but not 
protected against reading, is that correct?

Or do you mean fully protected, so that they can't be used by anyone without 
presenting the password?

If these were created in Word, what version of Word was used?  (2016, 2013, 
2010, 2007, earlier?)

What format is the document saved in (.doc, .docx, .odt)?

Apache OpenOffice is not able to handle all of the different formats with which 
passwords are set on Word documents.  It will matter which version was used, 
the format, and how much is protected.

RE: Trojan Download

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

Setup-40641183 is not part of Apache OpenOffice.

Delete whatever you downloaded.

Go to .

Make sure the operating system, language, and version (4.1.2) appear.

Click "Download full installation."

On the next page, DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING on the page.  Do not click anything 
that says START DOWNLOAD or DOWNLOAD NOW.

Instead, just wait for your browser to offer you a download of 
"Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.2_Win_x86_install_en-US.exe (134MB).

Select Save at that time.  It should download and also be security scanned.

If that still causes a malware detection, let us know.

trouble with printing

[Paulus Kruijer]

Hello,

I typed a three pages document and when I printed the three pages it went on 
and on with a text I could not read. Next time instead of using "all"( pages) I 
typed in 1-3 pages and it worked. When I opened my document I noticed that 
there were more then 3 pages. I tried to get rid of them, but I did not 
succeed. How is it possible that there are more pages open in my document, 
while I only typed three pages? 
Can some one help me so it does not happened again? 

Kind regards,

Paulus Kruijer


  

Re: Problems installing

[Lucetta]

BTW I recently tried to force an update on my early 2009 Macbookpro running 
Yosemite 10.10.5 and ended up with a corrupted system. 

After an anxious period opened 

Disk Utility
Selected Hardrive
Verify Disk Permissions
Repair Disk Permissions

Problems solved, back on OO 4. 1. 1 and see no need for an update.

I lost all of my documents/ spreadsheets. I was trying to install a
history manager file so I could see more than just 10 of my most recent
works and in doing so it somehow erased everything.

How do I get them back??

Also, it never fixed the problem with me being able to only see 10 docs.

Thank you!

Re: Help please!

[Jim McLaughlin]

 Dan -

Katherine had a question about apparently disappearing files when she tried
to load a history manager onto her OO installation.

Jan, who's first language is not English, graciously tried to help by
recommending a program called "recuva" to recover the missing files.  The
phrase "dwn @piriform.com" which Jan used is not an e mail address per se.
It is a contraction of the phrase "download at piriform.com".  Its a  set
of directions to a  web site, not an E mail address.

Similarly, Jan's use of the word "taste" is a stand in for "try".  Remember
Jan is a non native English speaker, who is doing his best to try to help
out Katherine with a  question Katherine asked.

I appreciate an's attempts to help Katherine and admire Jan's plunging into
the vaguries of American English to do so.  Jan's efforts in a second
language, American English, are a  heck of a  lot  better than mu feeble
attempts at French, which passes for my second language.

Please cut Jan some slackl

Passwort geschütze XLSX-Datei

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

ich habe eine Passwort geschützte .XLSX Datei erhalten.

Das Passwort ist mir bekannt, dennoch kann ich die Datei mit OpenOffice Version 
4.1.2 leider nicht öffnen.

Hätten Sie eine Tipp für mich.

Viele Grüße

open a new document with the template that you want to apply and then
cut and paste the content of the other document into the new one and
save it.

how do I convert a template to a style?

[Julian Thomas]

I create a new document, and then want to apply the formatting specified in one 
of my templates.

If I select Format - Styles and formatting, I'd like to apply the settings in 
the template, but they don't show up in that window [it's just a bunch of 
canned default page styles].  Load Style isn't very intuitive.  Is there an 
easy trick?

Re: Open Office Pdf Conversion Problem

I am sorry to be a bother.


There's no indication you have been.

Since the beginning of this year I am not able to convert an odt. or 
doc. file to pdf when I click on the pdf icon in the tools gallery. 
When I click on the icon it produces the intended question of saving 
the file as a pdf by title but when I click on that I get a message 
saying the file already exists and asks do I want to replace it. 
When I click 'yes' I get a message saying that there was a write 
error and the file could not be written.


OpenOffice has a strange option in both the Save As... and Export 
dialogue boxes. Near the bottom, you will see an "Automatic file name 
extension" tick box. Has this become unticked? If it has, you will be 
saving documents in the correct format, but the file names will not 
be getting the proper extension. So a text document will be called 
just "name" rather than "name.odt": you will have a valid file but 
without the correct extension. Like this, the documents will not open 
in the correct application when they are double-clicked, but they can 
be opened in other ways.


If you attempt to export such a file as PDF, the tick box will still 
be empty, so you will be trying to create a file named "name" instead 
of "name.pdf". But that means, of course, that you are saving the PDF 
copy over the original ODT document - also now called just "name". 
The error message you see is because the ODT version (albeit also 
without the appropriate extension) is locked by the fact that you 
have it open in OpenOffice.


All you need to do is to replace that tick in "Automatic file name 
extension". Once you have done this, it will stick - just as the absence did.


This occurred with Open Office 4.1.1 from early January 2016 and 
even after I converted to 4.1.2 late last week.


This setting will be saved in your OpenOffice user profile, and this 
is intentionally preserved across any upgrade in order to maintain 
your choices. So yes: it makes sense that upgrading will not have 
affected matters.


I trust this helps.

Die Installation auf einem neuen Asus PC mit Windows 10 klappt nicht.

[Ilona Eisenbeis]

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

ich habe OpenOffice schon auf vielen Rechnern mit Erfolg installiert. Jedoch 
auf meinem neuen Asus Rechner mit Windows 10 bleibt die Installation in einer 
Endlosschleife hängen. Die Installation beginnt mit der Entpackung der Dateien 
in den Desktopbereich, dann startet die Installation von Microsoft Visual C 
++86, es werden Dateien geladen, ein Installationszeitbalken ist sichtbar, auf 
dem am Ende 0 sec angezeigt werden. Dann bleibt die Installation hängen. Es 
ändert sich nicht mehr.

Wenn man schließlich Cancel drückt, bleibt die Installation weiter hängen. Es 
bleibt nur der Ausstieg über den Task Manager. Dort wird das 
Installationsprogramm als External Editor angezeigt.

Für einen Hinweis – was zu machen ist, wäre ich dankbar.

This message comes from Windows not from OpenOffice.
Either you have the file open in a PDF reader or there is a lock file.
Try to save in an other directory and see if the problem is solved.
