Re: Inserting 100 small text files into doc
Are these straight up text documents? If so, I think that a method has already been shown for how to copy all the files to one and then you can insert a single file. On Linux, this is even easier... Of course, since I like to write macros, I would write a macro that looked something like this: sFulPath = path to a document oDoc = ThisComponent oText = oDoc.Text oCurs = oText.createTextCursor() oCurs.gotoEnd(False) oSFA = CreateUnoService(com.sun.star.ucb.SimpleFileAccess) If NOT oSFA.exists(sFullPath) Then MsgBox (Unable to open sFullPath . Please check folder settings.) Exit Sub Else oTextStream = CreateUnoService(com.sun.star.io.TextInputStream) oTextStream.setEncoding(UTF-8) 'oTextStream.setEncoding(LATIN-1) iStream = oSFA.openFileRead(sFullPath) oTextStream.setInputStream(iStream) Do While NOT oTextStream.isEOF() s = oTextStream.readLine() oText.InsertString(oText.End, s, False) oText.InsertControlCharacter(oText.getEnd(),com.sun.star.text.ControlCharacter.APPEND_PARAGRAPH, False) Loop oTextStream.closeInput() End If Then you would just need to write a macro to loop through each file of interest.

For a one-off task the hundred documents could have been inserted by hand using /File /Insert and an hour's work. My experience with master documents has been that the expanded master document cannot be edited directly, only the individual component files may be edited. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org -- Andrew Pitonyak My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

How does a file disappear? That is an easy one. If you always save the file to the same file name, and something then happens to that one file, then there are no other copies.

However, after updating to 4.0 that all went away. So, I thought something must be a bit buggy and updated to the latest version last week. Still the same bad results. I was made aware of this when an eight hour editing job had to be completely redone on another computer that had Word 2010 on it. The client called and said the comment boxes were not usable. Sure enough, I opened the file in Word 2010 and it was a horrible mess. The trouble is that comments made in OpenOffice get trashed when the document is opened by Word 2010. They show a space between each letter. There is a blank line between each line of text that can not be deleted. And, the words that were once in one comment box are now spread through multiple boxes, pushing the text from box to box until at the last box all over spill text is deleted.

The base language is very similar, but the MSO version is riddled with annoying behaviors (I will call them bugs) such as the fact that things such as LBOUND will fail on an uninitialized array. This has been fixed in OO. So, if you have a macro that uses the language features and does not modify a document, it will probably work. Side note: If you are writing macros for MSO to run in MSO, use .NET; it is not portable, but it sure beats working around the poor language implementation. OK, back again If you are manipulating a document, just assume it will not work with exceptions for very common operations in Calc documents after you set compatibility mode. They may have support for other document types, but I am not aware of it - and I have very little experience trying to open MSO macros in OO.

Sometimes you can fix the problem by using a different file format. For example, write a .doc file rather than a .docx file. I have more experience in the word processing area than in presentations, but, at least with word processing, the choice of how an image is anchored can make all the difference.

I would like to vote for Reveal Codes. Reveal Codes is a very useful tool. It works independently of the Style rules and does not require the user to take time to search style rules then create or edit (causes changes in other documents?) Logically, it seems the more style rules the less efficient OO Writer. Guess you could say, reveal codes is like lifting the hood of a vehicle to change spark plugs. While style rules feature is similar to re-configuring the vehicle to operate bypassing spark plugs (takes more time and effort by the user). Thanks for your patience - Jack I think I remember some very intense discussions about this a couple of years ago, it was almost like some kind of war or something… Some people said it will never happen since there is nothing to reveal (Apache OpenOffice just doesn't work like that). Still someone managed to write an extension that does this, I think. I guess it fakes it somehow. Some people also think that it's not a good habit using them, and that styles is the way to go and so on. Some people also says that it's a bad habit to use a lot of character styles in text. So it seems like a lot of people are against the idea of reveal codes while others want them. I don't know. I have no use for them personally, so I don't care, but… well… Johnny Rosenberg It has been a long time since I tested the macro, so I don't remember what it showed and what it did not. If you really want to design this, then, it should likely not just be a duplicate of Word Perfect functionality. For example, what if My paragraph style sets character weight (that means how BOLD is it). Then, I manually set a bold amount, and, finally, I apply a character style that sets the character weight differently. Now, understand that if I do this in a macro, it is not as simple as bold is on or off, I can set a numeric value for it for all three of these things. This level of subtlety does not exist in the WP reveal codes stuff, it is merely on / off. This could be very confusing if I have the three bold settings so that they are all marginally bold (like say 90% bold, 100% bold, and 110% bold). My head hurts now! I assume that this feature (which would be cool to have) has likely not been seriously attempted for integration since a real implementation would require you to deal with these issues. Also, the macro version of the implementation is far from a working implementation. Think of it as a way to troll the code and then show an XML like version of the text in a dialog with certain change types shown; if my memory is correct. -- Andrew Pitonyak My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php --- List Conduct Guidelines: http://openoffice.apache.org/list-conduct.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
Re: Suggestion.
Some of what you want is easily available as follows: Use Tools | Options to open the options dialog. On the left, expend the section for Writer | Formatting Aids (you may need to have a writer document open at the time) You can then tell it to display things such as Paragraph end, spaces, non-breaking spaces, tabs, breaks, and similar. There is a macro that does something similar here: http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/hillview/OOo/ These were written 10 years back. I vaguely remember running RevealCodes2 or RevealCodes3, and, I think that I needed to fix something so that it would work... I don't really remember. One problem with a reveal codes macro in OOo is that formatting is often not changed based on directly applied formatting, but by styles. This may be a paragraph style, a character style, or, as directly applied formatting.

That is what WP called Reveal Codes, where every change that was made in the document was shown by a particular code. e.g.: Hard return was HRT. If this was not what was wanted then you could make the change you required. Or as sometimes happens in OpenOffice, something happens which I don't understand, I have no way of finding out why. Would it be possible to incorporate this feature in OpenOffice? It would enhance this program's appeal to me and, I'm sure to many others who still hanker for the user friendliness of WP.

Starting in cell K1, drag to cell K3 to select cells K1 through K3. --- In the lower right corner of your selection, you will see a small black box, Hover your mouse cursor over that and it turns into large cross --- Click and drag the mouse down.

Re: Java Troubles When Trying to Use Mail Merge
Despite Dr. Zarlenga's odd claims, I do believe that it is possible to run Java on Windows. I happen to use Linux, so anything that I say is of course suspect. A few questions for you. 1. What version of AOO are you using? 4.x? For version 3.x, you need Java 6, for AOO 4, you can use 7. 2. What vesrion of Java. Note that I believe that AOO can only use a 32-bit version of Java, not a 64-bit version. 3. Somewhere under Tools Options you can tell AOO where your Java is installed. This must be set I believe. I cannot check the actual path at the moment (since I don't have AOO installed on the machine I am using now).

I have a package written for MS Excel which simulates the mixing of two sinusoidal waves and displays both the input and output waveforms on a virtual oscilloscope that uses the graphing feature. The package also has a virtual spectrum analyser that will show the harmonic content of the product waveform but this needs to use the FFT function which is available in MS Excel. I don’t currently use MS Office and would like to run the package in AOO but without an FFT function, I cant use the spectrum analyser to show the harmonic content of the combined waveforms.

Not only that, it can differentiate between quote marks and real inch and foot designators. Let's see your OO/LO do that! I am not sure what this is since I have never had any particular difficulty dealing with these things though I am not sure how one can understand that a particular single quote is an inch mark as opposed to a non-curly double quote. I think the reference to an inch mark is simply a way of identifying your (typewriter-style) non-curly double quote. But Mr McGarrett does have a point, I think. OpenOffice Writer will replace typed single and double quotes with what it calls custom quotes quite efficiently as you type. But if you have existing straight quotes in a document (perhaps in an inherited document or in text pasted in from elsewhere), there appears to be no easy way to apply that intelligence after the event. You could replace a straight quote with a curly one, but you'd have to select manually the individual cases where you needed open and close quotes: you cannot at this stage invoke Writer's ability to use its intelligence about this. In some other word processors (dare I mention Microsoft Word if I promise to wash my mouth out?), you can merely replace straight quotes with straight quotes: replacement is treated the same way as typing, the same intelligence is invoked, and curly quotes of the appropriate handedness are substituted en masse. Brian Barker Oh, now I get it WP will auto-magically replace straight quotes with curly quotes when you import a document. For most of what I do, that would really mess things up for me.

Re: [libreoffice-users] ”Artifacts” in OpenOffice and LibreOffice
I have had subtle redraw issues with OO off and on, and I always blamed it on an interaction between applications and the video drivers. Realize that I use nVidia video cards on 64-bit Fedora using the proprietary video drivers. What I saw was not remotely as bad. Admittedly, when I tried out the latest dev build, it was totally unusable (of course, the single tester was unable to reproduce on Windows 7). see https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=122214 Are you able to do a test and change your video driver say between the free and not free driver to see if there is a change (I do not use Ubuntu so I don't have a good handle on what drivers are available or how). I used to have exactly the same problem in QT, and it was very bad. I was able to avoid the problem with QT Creator by starting it using -graphicssystem raster Not that I expect this to help you. I did notice that it still has some rendering issues that appeared in the latest versions (I believe it is related to an over-lay issue when you edit a field that assumption allowed me to fix it in the software that I write, but I did not jump into the QT code base). I have seen strange redraw issues so long in OO that correcting for it is almost automatic in my brain (scroll screen up then down to clear) so I cannot even say if I still see the problem. I think I do, but it is for sure not as bad is it used to be for me. I know, that I have rambled on and on I will summarize in saying 1. I have never seen it so bad 2. I have seen screen corruption 3. You may avoid some of it based on the video driver If I had it that bad on my Fedora system, I would likely change my desktop on login to see if it helped. With Fedora, I can easily jump between Gnome and KDE (as one example). I would also try jumping between the two different drivers available to see how that helped as well. Sadly, the free driver is poor with respect to 3D stuff.

XP, OO 3.4 I have no particular comment on your current process, but is it possible for you to create a template from this (even if you only save a mostly empty copy for next year) so that you can start from the mostly empty stage easily next year. -- Andrew Pitonyak My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Re: open-office 3.4
This sounds confusing / unexpected. I am adding some comments inline. I will repeat some items for clarification. You mention exe files, so I assume that you are using Windows. Hopefully someone more well versed in Windows idiosyncrasies will respond as well.

(I infer that it was installed and working) and have had occaxxional glitches with exe files. What do you mean by glitch? Do you mean that you try to run it and an error occurs, then you run it and it works? If there is an error, be as specific as possible. After downloading the latest update i am now in a virtual lock out situation. When i try to run the software a dialog box tells me there is a problem with soffice and a search initiates whixh end in the same position, ie cannot access the file. I have no means of accesing the files in order to find where or what the problems are. It seems to me that the file is missing or corrupted. Can you help? please Gabriel Loy My recommendation is that you Remove AOO from your computer. Do you know how to uninstall a program? I don't have a windows machine near by, but what you need to do will vary depending on your version of windows. YOu need to do something like Start Control Panel Uninstall Programs That Uninstall part may be called add / remove, or something like that. Find OpenOffice, and remove it. After you uninstall AOO, then, try a full install. This should not take more than 10 minutes to try assuming you already have a copy of the latest AOO to install. Another thought. The install process leaves a directory on your desktop (I believe) that contains a copy of the install files. I assume that you are running AOO by using Start All Programs select AOO rather than from a potentially older short-cut on your desktop. -- Andrew Pitonyak My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Re: Listening Mode - Single instance
On 11/29/2012 10:18 AM, Steele, Raymond wrote: Is it possible to open a single instance of calc via loadComponentFromURL() in listening mode. The instructions here, http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/ProUNO/Starting_OpenOffice.org_in_Listening_Mode, define editing a Setup.xcu file, but the information here, https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=117803, says that Setup.xcu no longer exist in version 3.3. Apparently, I could update the main.xcd file, but I only want listening mode when a specific application opens calc because another application will need to close that instance. I'd prefer not use a script to launch soffice -accept=socket,host=0,port=2002;urp;. Raymond My initial reaction is that Calc does not listen, OpenOffice listens. So are you saying that as soon as a Calc document is opened, you want OOo to start listening? Off hand, I don't think that you can do that. I believe that the choice must be made when OOo begins (not sure how that plays into the whole quick-starter stuff). You do not mention your operating system, but, you might be able to configure another copy of OOo for a different user or location that is configured to use it. I have seen comments on this in the past, I don't remember the details. I ran a quick google query using running two instances of OOo at the same time and it returned links into oooforum.org, which has been highly unreliable lately, and I could not connect. Give it a try and maybe it will work for you. The idea is to use two different OOo profiles so that you can have two different instances. Then, you can choose which instance you want to run. -- Andrew Pitonyak My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
