Granted that in 2020 it feels odd to still be buying DVD's with the
software on it but there is still a legitimate market for it.

I agree that there is the possibility to get things you don't want with it
but there are also folks playing it straight.

They add value by including extras, one vendor in particular has issued a
new DVD yearly, they include a custom windows installer, all the language
packs, lots of free fonts, bunches of added templates and manuals. The DVD
includes Windows and Mac binaries. They are clear in their marketing
material that support, for everything other then the installer, comes from
the AOO community.

They also charge are very reasonable price of around 10 USD or 8 Euro.

I would be wary of getting it on a CD these days.  There are more than a
few vendors that will sell you a CD with Open Office on it.  However, the
CD may have other little nasties on it as well most of which you do not
want.  If you have to pay for the software beware.

Re: Installation Problems.

2020-02-24 Thread Drew Jensen
There is a long history of OpenOffice.org being offered on CD and DVD.

This was at times with the blessings of the old owners of the Intellectual
Property rights to the URL, Sun Microsystems, and numerous individual
boosters, and some commercial operations.

The practice went on after the IP was sold to Oracle and then granted to
Apache Software Foundation with regards to boosters and commercial
operations right down to today.

You may want to nudge folks to only using the download from the
openoffice.org URL, that Apache OpenOffice continues to use,  but no one
should act surprised that some folks will have acquired it via CD or DVD.

Best wishes,

Drew

Schreibrechte

2020-02-24 Thread Immanuel Schmechel
Hallo und einen guten Abend,

ich habe auf meinem Windows PC ein Tabellendokument (mit Macros) erstellt.
Dieses Dokument kann ich ohne Probleme aufrufen, ändern und auch speichern.
Ich habe somit Lese- und Schreibrechte!

Lade ich die Datei (Tabellendokument) auf mein Android Tab. kann ich die
Datei zwar öffnen (nur mit Leserecht) aber nicht mehr speichern. Ich nutze
auf meinem Tab. Andropenoffice!

Programminformation: Es bestehen keine Schreibrechte!

Wie und wo kann ich diese Rechte vom PC auf mein Tab. übertragen?

Ich habe dieses Problem leider nicht lösen können.

Über eine Problemlösung würde ich mich sehr freuen.

Vielen Dank für Ihre Mühe.

MfG

Immanuel Schmechel

You can download an reinstall OO 3.2; it should then be capable of being 
uninstalled.

Or, you could download a utility such as CCleaner and tell it to remove 
OpenOffice 3.2; OO 4.1.7 should then install.

imagine you have ten consecutive pages all without footer and unnumbered 
except for pages 3, 5 and 7; on those pages you want a footer and you want 
a roman numeral, for instance ix on page 3, xi on page 5 and xiii on page 
7. inserting a number generates the same numeral on each page. ah, I guess 
the trick is to do a different page style for 3, 5 and 7.


The usefulness of automatic page numbering, of course, is that you can modify 
the text or layout of the document with the page numbers being preserved and 
updating appropriately and not being displaced. If you need such a random 
collection of numbers and the document is at a late stage of preparation - 
when changes to the text are less likely - it may be simpler just to position 
manual page numbers where the footer would be, without having any footer.


If you need a footer for other information on such pages but want page 
numbers only on some, you can still do this. Create a Frame to contain the 
required page number (it doesn't need to have any border) and ensure that it 
is anchored To Page. Position the frame in the footer where is needs to 
appear. Because it is anchored to the page, not to anything within the 
footer, it will not be repeated within the footer on other pages.


The second technique is also more robust to changes in paper size, margins, 
and so on, as well as to font substitution on a foreign system.


to report: I believe your solutions are probably in better accord with 
the "principle of simplicity" than what I chose but I hadn't realized 
the power of the 'manual page-break' function before and got 
fascinated.


I made three page styles, 'Roman ix', 'Roman xi' and 'Roman xiii' each 
with a footer but with the corresponding Roman numeral (but not as a 
'field'). on reflection it probably would have sufficed to make one 
such page.


I believe the author is satisfied, and I learned some valuable tricks 
thanks to you, Rory and Andrew; much appreciated!
