Re: Fw: installling update

[Dick Groskamp]

What operating system do you use ?  Windows, Linux, Apple ? What version OS ?
Did you close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter before trying to install ?

Re: OpenOffice locked up

[Dick Groskamp]

Try to renew your userprofile.
Close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter (if enabled)

Go to C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice\4
There is a folder called user. Rename that folder to something else, for 
instance "user_old"

Go back and restart OpenOffice. It will make a new folder user.
This method often solves strange problems :-)

Die zul je eerst uit moeten schakelen voordat je een nieuwe versie kunt

Ik ga er maar even van uit dat je Windows gebruikt?
Kan zijn dat de installatiebestanden zijn verwijderd waardoor 4.1.14 niet goed 
wil installeren.
Kijk eens bij de Instellingen > Programma's verwijderen of 4.1.13 daar nog 
staat.
Als dat zo is, probeer die dan eens te Repareren en, als dat gelukt is, 4.1.14 
te installeren.

4.1.14 zou gewoon over 4.1.13 heen moeten kunnen worden geïnstalleerd

Re: Disappearing Toolbar

[Dick Groskamp]

Confirmed.  Win 10 and AOO 4.1.12 (Dutch)

Seems toggling with "Find" also instantiates some toggling with "Format"
After "Find" is disappeared, trying to re-instantiate with View - Toolbars 
makes "Format" disappear.
Choosing "Format" in View - Toolbars brings "Find" back, but not "Format"
Seems to be some unknown connection to these.

Re: Open Office Icon in Taskbar

[Dick Groskamp]

David,

do you have a shortcut on the Desktop with the Seagulls logo (round blue icon 
with 2 white flying forms)?
If so you can pin that shortcut to the taskbar. It will show the Seagulls (at 
least at my Desktop)

Otherwise you might try to create a new shortcut on the Desktop and then change 
the icon
to the Seagulls logo.

The default full installation at my machine did indeed make a white rectangular 
icon on my Desktop. I changed it to the Seagulls logo and now all is well :-)

Re: Support needed please!

[Dick Groskamp]

Installing the new version should do that for you. No need to uninstall 4.1.7 ( 
unless you have to make space for it to install, but that will also be 
monitored by the new install)

Try if installing the new version will run. It should take over your settings 
for the old installed version.

It is there.

File -> New -> Labels.
In the dialog that opens ( called Labels) there is a section Brand with a 
dropdown next to it.
Brand is defaulted to Avery A4, but you need Avery Letter Size (which is two 
choices below Avery A4).

Click the small triangle after Avery A4 and select Avery Letter Size.
Now, in the dropdown Type (below Avery Letter Size) scroll down to label L5160

However, using The Wayback Machine you can get to the file.
I've updated the link on the wiki page.

The Recent files list will be rebuilt when you open your files.
You could open your files from the directory they are stored in and 
subsequently close them to show up again.

In Windows, click Start. Type *.odt (or *.od? for text, spreadsheets etc) in 
the Search box. Click See more results. Click Date Modified column heading. You 
now see every document in date order.

It should however bring you to the site of Sourceforge to download.

You can download directly from here: 
https://www.openoffice.org/nl/download/index.html
That will take you to the download on Sourceforge. It is know that sometimes 
that site freezes and nothing happens. Hitting F5 or clicking the Refresh 
button in your browser fixes that and the download will start.

Since AOo is only a 32bit application there is no 64bit.

Denise,
sorry to hear it ain't working anymore.

To correctly identify what is going wrong we should need the original file to 
assess what exactly is going wrong.
(Make sure you remove any confidential information)
We also need a good description of what doesn't work anymore, but used to work.

Best to ask your question/problem on https://forum.openoffice.org/en because 
this list strips attachments. On the forum you can attach .odt files up to 
128Kb. Some of the volunteers there are real magicians with textfiles.

You should be able to download 4.1.9 from here:

Ewald,

this is not a bug, it is designed that way.
Probably if you had MS Office installed after OpenOffice it would most probably 
be exactly the other way round. (Opening .odt files with MS Word.)

Have a look at this page 
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74=12918 (scroll all 
the way down} to see a simple way to change the default app on Windows 10 ( 
From OO to MS or the other way round.)
You cab specify there exactly which file you want to open with what application

Have a look at 
[url]https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6=14529[/url] to 
see if
any of that palettes can help you out.

On my Windows the files for the palettes (with the extension .soc) are in 
D://AppData/Roaming/OpenOffice/4/user/config

If you have your own palette back it might be useful to copy it as standard.soc.

Hans,

du verwendest die korrekte Seite.
Ich beobachte jedenfalls das die Seite von Sourceforge ins Moment hängen bleibt.
Wenn Sie die Seite erneuert (Ctrl+R) sollte die download anfangen.
Jedenfalls funktioniert das bei mich

https://www.openoffice.org/de/download/index.html bringst Du zu Sourceforge und 
wählt die version
4.1.7 für Sie aus.

Rob,

select the items in the list you want to sort.

Then Options > Sort

Make sure Rows is selected in the dialog, section Direction.
Other options could stay as they are ( Key 1   Column = 1 and Type key = 
Alphanumeric)

That sorts your list to:
AppleJack & Peel 
Christmas Splendor
Cinnamon
Fireside
FreshCut Christmas Tree
Hillbilly Mistletoe
Smell of Christmas
Sugared Spruce
Vanilla Bean
Vanilla Bean Noel

At least at my setup

RE: mail merge not working

[Dick Groskamp]

Jonathan,

the problem seems to be the two columns A and B which are hidden and empty !.
They contain no data and seem to confuse AOO Base.

Show the two columns again and fill one of them with an incrementing ID
Remove (if possible, the remaining empty column from the spreadsheet)

No need to "convert" to .odb if you choose the option "Connect to existing 
database"
Select "Spreadsheet" in the dropdown, which opens a fileselector, so you can 
browse to your spreadsheet.

After naming the new database it should work and you should see the table Sheet1
