Re: MAIL MERGE TO AN OPENOFFICE CALC DOCUMENT
I see, I am sorry is giving you troubles. I am not sure exactly how to reproduce the error and all I can do is forward you some tutorials. Basically the mailmerge has to do with fields, the Mailmerge Wizards is in fact a macro that assign these fields and automagically go ahead in a sequence. To debug these mailmerges you would need to go to the assigned field and see if there is something wrong being defined. Fields are very powerful and can have something more than just squence, but lso conditionals, randomizers, references, etc. We have a whole book on Fields[1] that you can learn from. But this is for your own education on the platform. To solve the issue I think you can re-build the mailmerge and go step by step (if you haven't have to). And pay close attention where the field in question is being created. Another strategy is to breakdown the merge and do the merging in sections, meaning that you would need to generate the mailmerge with only the fields that you think have issues and see if this is being repeated in isolation. If this works, then there might be some other field interrupting the process. PD: Sovleigh Haugland has an excellent tutorial on Mail Merge althought is a bit dated, it still works wonders. It explores and redescover the power of mailmerging.

Re: document recovery
Usually configuring openoffice the right way will help you prevent this. If you enable auto-save it will force you to save it as you go along. Also a backup directory should be configured to have an alternative copy that you can go if things happen to your Document folder.

Re: Can't open OpenOffice files
There are many ways to do it. a) Re-install OpenOffice over itself. b) Manually assign the file-type to the program. The first one is a bit more intrussive but is faster. The second one will be safer but will take more steps. File association relies on the Operating system and NOT on OO. So the steps has to happen in windows. To perform the file association follow this steps: - Go to Control Panel on Windows - Go to Control Panel Home Default Programs Set Associations. Select a file type in the list and click Change Program. - Select the extensions you neeed (doc, docx, odt - OpenOffice Writer, etc) For further details go here: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/change-file-associations-windows On 11/12/14, Bud Oliver budoli...@shaw.ca wrote: Greetings: I am 77 and not very computer literate but have been using OO for some time word processing etc. I downloaded 4,01 Beta and then 4.01 which I have been using fine.

I've been running LibreOffice on it for several months. It works. ApacheOffice should also run on it. I know it does on the current 13.1. Also you also run the Chrome Browser or its Linux form, Chromium. I use Chromium for a lot website, no problems so far. This is sent from my production side when I use LibreOffice exclusively. I have not heard if either runs under the Chrome book OS. The link was for the chromebook script to load opensuse, I know there is one, but I couldnt find it on google. Is a related project of the chroagh. There is another one for fedora, all resides on github, but I cant really seem to find them at the moment. I didnt dedicate much time either, if people really want to get them, I could spend more time looking for them. But I think I respond the question here. The biggest problem however when dealing with Chromebooks is that the first generations were ARM while the latters were Intel x86_64. So there should be some pre-selection on which model of the chromebook you have. I currently own a chromebook HP 14 (intel) and run Arch linux using the chroagh. This is not the Distro link, since is not meant to be installed as dual boot system but as a chroot distro which lives paralllel to the chromeos and can be started and switch with a keystroke (alt-fn-F3) while ChromeOS lives on (alt-fn-F1).

After some debugging I found that the LibreOffice version of Ctl.setDate/Ctl.getDate works with a struct: Type DateType Year As Long Month As Long Day As Long End Type This is of course not a big deal, I can make the macro accept both formats, but the macro need to know if LibreOffice or Apache OpenOffice is running it. How can I do that? I have tried to find the answer myself, both using xray and searching the web, but so far nothing.

This is not only annoying but creepy. Why if Openoffice is installed but not even open does it affect the behavior of other programs. Ridiculous. Now I see that 4.1 has been released. With hope that some of these issues would be fixed I installed it on my computer. It took several minutes for the program to not even open at all, giving me not responding messages, hijacking my computer so that I couldn't even do things in other applications and finally I had to force quit it.

Re: AOO Ripoffreport
That is how reputation work, is not illegal to give negative reviews to products. Specially products that respond to enable free ways of distribution like ours. However the bigger picture is not whenever if there exist or not negative reviews (I am sure Firefox and Linux have their own share). But whenever the industry as a whole recomend OpenOffice which is what marketing should be all about. Instead we have a half death marketing list, there is currently no campaign for the 4.1.1 launch. No preparation for a back to school or seasonal message we want to transmit and is not like we are actively looking to give conferences and/or participate with industry journalists on the IT field. So in a sense we are doing next to none job on pushing our brand, and instead we are ranting about relatively small scams.

Re: OpenOffice is unreliable
OpenOffice has a backup location where you can recover your latest versions of your work. You access it from Options - General - Paths You can see where backup resides and get yuour documents. Also when you suffer from unexpected crashes, you are always presented with a crash report to fill out. At this stage this is not nearly a crash report which is completely useless to learn from it.

Re: Pay for Open Office
Apache OpenOffice is free forever, you can get updates for free, extensions are free to install and is free for all platforms (OSX, Windows, Linux). There are donations which you are more than welcome to contribute, and there are professional support services that will charge you for their time, just like a trainner will charge you for a course in Apache OpenOffice at a competitive rate.

Re: Spread Sheets issues.URGENT HELP PLEASE
Remember there is also the '$' to fix the range to either a row or a cell. In the event you move your range, it will stick to the initial cell.

Re: How to put my resume file from email into the open office application and then send as a file
I think what he/she meant is something like what Microsoft Office has, which unfortunately is not the case in AOO. AOO sends the document to the mail client as an attachment as opposed to email body. This makes it hard for a resume user to email his content seamlessly. there have been projects that have been implemented to fix this but the issue remain on the email client as well. How can Outlook/Thunderbird/Kmail, etc return the html document back into ODT? Until then, email attachments and extra loading steps need to take place. Maybe some Google Summer of Code project to be solved once and for all. We just need to learn how to program the COM instructions and internal application messaging.

Re: Absurd thing about macro security
Can you tell us what does ur macro actually do? Most of these settings are declared on the XCU whicch are XML. The schema could have changed or something along those lines like the path on the ~/.openoffice/ folder. However maybe you run your macros within AOO which could be a different service, so until we dont get that information we cant tell which change could have an effect on your macro.

Anyway, one of the first things I did, was to throw LibreOffice out the window and install Apache OpenOffice. There are a few spreadsheets that I edit every day, almost, and the first thing I experience after a fresh operating system install is usually that I need to add macro paths to the macro security paths list. I usually add them one by one when I need them and for now I only need to run macros in spreadsheets at ”~/Kontor/Ekonomi/” (in English: ~/Office/Economy/). However, to open those spreadsheets I click on a link located in a folder on my desktop, ”~/Skrivbord/Frekvent använt/” (in English: ”~/Desktop/Frequently used/”). All I did so far was that I added the ”~/Kontor/Ekonomi/” path to the macro security list thing, and it worked perfectly for those weeks. Until today. Now, when opening one of those spreadsheets, it says that it won't run any of my macros. So now I just gave up and added ”~/Skrivbord/Frekvent använt/” and Apache OpenOffice seemt to be happy with that. But why, WHY, WHY, WHY did it work before today? I've been opening those links all the time since I put them there, without any kinds of problems! The only thing that is different now from before, is that I moved my computer a few meters and that I use two screens instead of one now. How could that matter?

The only solution I have found so far is to cursor to the far right cell I want and then mark the text (going left) with the mouse because the left edge of the spreadsheet stops the cursor. This is awkward and time-consuming. The OSX (and OO) keyboard shortcut “Command C” only marks one cell (or pre-selected text) to copy. The functionality I need was available in Lotus 123. The lack of it in Open Office is the only reason I have not moved my larger spreadsheets to OO. I would like the same kind of command for the keyboard cursor to mark cells for Command Delete but that is less critical.
