I can too. I clung to AOO  for a few years after going from OS2 to Mac. I still 
use OO for some stuff but have switched to pages & keynote for new work - 
partly because at the time there was no OO option for my iPad.

If all else fails this should work:

- export as CSV [or TSV]
- write a program to find the URLs and rebuild the CSV with the new cell
- open in calc and save as .calc

I can export this to pdf or html, but not to MS Word.  What am I doing wrong?  
OO 4.1.7 on a Mac running Catalina.

If this can’t be done, I can copy/paste the text into a Mac pages file [I was 
going to import the .doc file into pages] but since it’s a big table, the 
formatting gets badly mangled.

Didn’t OO used to have this capability?

This is correct.  The easiest way to make the file available to your iPad is to 
put them in your iCloud drive which you can share between all your apple 
devices that use the same apple ID.

On the iPad open the Files app and select iCloud drive.

Bear in mind that AOO is not available for the iPad, although there is in the 
app store an OOReader app which lets you view OO files on the iPad.

there was no 'below' and you don’t tell us what OS you are using, but it is 
likely that you have lost your file associations.  Try opening OO and then 
selecting one of the documents to open.  The best result is that it will open; 
if it cusses at you and claims that it is an unknown format, someone else here

On a Mac, use Cmd-C and Cmd-V.  However, on Mac [not sure about other

Be thankful that you don't need to deal with pounds shillings and pence!  All 
you need to do [as was pointed out] is convert time to minutes and adjust your 
cost/hour figure to make it cost/minute.

How are you sharing the files between the home and office computer?

You shouldn't have this problem if you use a dependable cloud file sharing 
product like DropBox.  Otherwise keep the file on a memory stick and carry it 
back and forth.

Whatever works for one of us doesn't for the other.  I find these days I'm

The iWork suite [Pages - writer; Keynote - presenter, and Numbers - 
spreadsheet] work nicely for me on my Macs.  I use Keynote and Pages 
extensively; Numbers less frequently.

Advantages:
iOS versions that allow limited editing and writing functions
iCloud integration [and synch; I realize you can do this less automatically 
with dropbox]

Even: There aren't many functions that work in OO that don't have an equivalent

Drawbacks: UI is sufficiently different from MSO/OO that it takes some getting

Envelope printing is heavily dependent on the printer you have and how it feeds 
envelopes.  What works for me is to create a TEMPLATE for the envelope with the 
correct orientation [if the printer end-feeds the envelope, use landscape; 
otherwise portrait].  Set margins in the template - again depending on the 
above as well as to whether the envelope is centered or left-aligned in the 
printer.

A little bit of trial and error may be needed, but when you are done you will 
have a template that will last until you get a new printer or a new envelope 
size.

Good luck.

This is easy [relatively] in HTML - web pages, but it usually involves 
javascript opening a secondary window with the full size image.  

I very much doubt if OO macros can come close to this, since it requires 
dynamic processing in the document.

It would be nice if someone could prove me wrong!

This may well work for envelopes depending on how your printer feeds them.  My 
envelope templates are for letter size paper - landscape - with margins set to 
the envelope area.  Mine feeds in the center but an earlier printer fed the 
envelope on the left.

I assume that the recipient does not necessarily have OO.  This being the case, 
there are the following options:

- export as PDF

- save in MS Word format [.doc].  This can be opened in either preview [part of 
the Mac OS] or Pages [a word processor that will import MS Word] - either part 
of the latest Mac OS versions or free from the app store.

Best way I've found to do this in writer is to use a label template with the 
appropriate margins and number of rows and columns, to match your 'standard' 
form.

Format the first one as you want it, and insert the graphic [Insert - picture - 
from file], positioning and resizing as needed.  Add the text.

Then select all in the label box, and paste it into the rest of the boxes, one 
by one.

This is seriously dependent on your printer!  I'm not sure either of mine would 
feed a card that small, but I routinely print 3x5, 4x6, and on the backs of IBM 
80 column tab cards.

What I do is to set up an OO writer template with the margins suitable for the 
card size. Then using 8.5x11 paper, print a test card.  You want the print area 
to match up with how the printer feeds the card [I've seen both center and left 
side feed] and which way is 'up'.  You can create templates for both portrait 
and landscape on the card.  A little bit of experimentation has been the road 
to glory for me.

Assuming you are talking about Writer, what I've done is to create a template 
with the margins set to the correct location for the To address box with a 
suitable size and font face, and another text box with a return address filled 
in.  The settings depend on your printer and the envelope size.  What I do is 
test the template on a blank full size sheet of paper, and adjust it so that it 
will work with your envelopes in your printer.

HTH.  If you want to do it from a list, others can help - won't help much if 
the printer doesn't autofeed  envelopes.

In general, I have found lurking beartraps when converting presentations from 
one application to another.

I had a simple one today that I initially did in Keynote on my Mac. I exported 
it as .pptx and opened it in Open Office.  The title slide was mangled [the 
lower line was inserted at the left of the slide - vertically.  I created a new 
one in OO and then saved it as PPT.  I then opened it up in Office 2012 on the 
mac and found another formatting issue where a table had gotten mangled [column 
widths 'adjusted'].

True if it's strictly an algorithmic process.  

Not necessarily true if you introduce variability from external sources [ping 
or response time on the network, or stock market fluctuations for example].  
Pseudo random implies repeatability.

In a prior life I came up with a scheme for a pseudorandom generator that used 
computer hardware measured values determined at power on to generate a 
non-repeatable seed.

I think we are converging on violent agreement!

More details:

The replacement printer (an ancient HP 1200 LJ) has an envelope feeder slot 
attached to the paper tray cover.  It positions the envelope or whatever in the 
middle of the printer throat, not at the left edge. The preceding [now dead] 
Brother printer had a similar setup, although as i mentioned it and the hp have 
different ideas as to the positioning of the envelope [top or bottom of the 
8.5"x11 page]. 

If I set [in OO] paper size of 3x5, the 3x5 area prints on the top left of an 
8.5x11 sheet.  There is no way to use the envelope feeder on the left side of 
the throat;

How am I supposed to print in the middle 3 inches of  the throat without lying 
to OO?

Is the .odt file format documented somewhere?
