Re: Transfering custom syles from an old document

2020-06-03 Thread Dan Lewis
Yes, this can be done using the Styles and Formatting dialog. How to 
change styles in a document is described in the Writer Guide for AOO. 
You may need to do a search to download it. In addition, you should also 
use these custom styles to create a template for future use. That will 
give you access to these styles anytime you need it. How to do this is 
also explained in the Writer Guide. (It is an excellent source for how 
to use the Writer component for AOO when doing any number of tasks.) I 
no longer use AOO, so I can not give you complete instructions, but in 
the long term you need to know what is contained in this guide. Download 
it and study its contents.

When you place cursor in the affected are of the document, what language is 
shown in middle of Status Bar (bottom bar of OO window)?

This is most likely a problem with your User Profile. It is usually caused by a 
too hasty shutdown of your computer. See: 
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=89050 for 
explanations on how to resolve this problem.

Hello!
I've used your products for a long time and am a fan! However just yesterday 
I've hit a big problem. I restarted my computer and when I turned it back on, 
OpenOffice is giving me grief. I open the program and ALL the words (not just 
the mistakes) are underlined in red. See below (message continued below) :

[cid:c3ac7699-3bb6-49c1-be94-87b0b66afd4c]


I tried restarting my laptop-- didn't work. So I downloaded the newest 
OpenOffice-- didn't work-- same thing. I turned off the spellcheck, they all 
went away (even the errors), but when I turned it back on, everything is 
underlined again (saying their errors). I even tried switching the language 
from English Canada to English US-- didn't do anything
I'm a journalist (a writer) so I need to see what my errors are-- not every 
word. This is a real pain
Do you know how to fix this? Please help!

Re: Spreadsheet Formula Hiding "0"

2020-06-03 Thread Martin Groenescheij
Replacing an Number Field with text as in your formula will have impact 
on calculations like COUNT() or AVERAGE()

Also your formula doesn't take into account negative numbers

Suppressing the display of zeros in your Options works on your Display, 
but it will not suppress your it when
you print or export as PDF. To Suppress the output of zero values you 
can work with Conditional Formatting and

set the Cell Protection to "Hide when printing".

Working with number formatting like  # only works with whole numbers but 
still display a value 0.123 as .123

Great suite - Thanks.

I love to hide the "0" value in cells yet to be populated and to do so 
I use the =IF(Target Cell>0;Actual Formula;"") setup.


This works well for me upon the Target Cell being the result or a 
manual entry.


However, this doesn't work when the Target Cell contains a formula. ( 
I appreciate that the formula setup as above is correct and that it 
now recognizes that the Target Cell is populated so is ">0" - just 
that viewed in real life - no actual value yet exists.)


Maybe there's a way of re-addressing the value "0" in the 1st part 
though it would be nice for a private user to be able to keep their 
formulas simple.


So - not necessary a fault or bug or anything at all - just a thought 
in case it's possible.
