Hi, I got the open office 4.1.10 and  also got the english language pack.
I closed all other programs then installed the full pack, then installed
the language pack.
Then opened a blank new doc. or an old file both would do the following;
When I type ANY word at all, its underlined as an unknown word or if I do a
spell check, every word gets underlined as an unknown word. I did go into
tools, options, language settings to confirm usa english is picked but
doesnt help. I just uninstalled it all and reinstalled it all and still the
same problem. What's going on? How do I make this work?

I did read many ppl have this problem in the forum and none had an answer.

Wow ~ this is one complicated program.  During my career I used Excel, what

OpenOffice.  It’s a challenge!


I have a time sheet that is showing the $ sign in the hour column. So for

Re: Tracking Changes

[Richard Beeston]

Hi Tom.

I had the same problem with a thesis I was writing. There are some problems 
and one is whether the supervisor has the same version of Windows as is on 
your computer. My supervisor was using Mac computer while I was using 
windows and although he said he wanted it in Word my submission to him when 
he got it showed no changes whatsoever.
After much experimenting I found Im needed to change the tag on the end of 
my submission when you save it to a different file and have the tag as a 
docx file instead. I then had to make some minor amendments because the two 
different files had different spell checks and different spacing.

Someone else may have another answer so keep checking you inbox.

It would be very simple and quick to test your theories on a test 
document, of course. But there is no need to do any of that. Just go 
to Edit | Changes > | Accept or Reject... . You can select individual 
changes or groups of changes (using Ctrl+click or Shift+click) and 
use either Accept or Reject. In your case, you can just choose Accept All.


I trust this helps.

Subject: FW: Australian Slang

 

 

It is little wonder that visitors from overseas have trouble understanding 
‘Aussie English’ I didn’t realise until I read this, that I use most of 
these terms in normal ‘Aussie speak’ everyday language.

(Also sorry about the naughty connotations used in the list)



Subject: Fwd: Australian Slang

 

 

   

  Subject: Australian Slang

  It came to my attention the lack of even Australians that didn't know these 
words expressed in their own country not recognising their own slang

   

  Here is some , even for those overseas:

   

   

1.. A Cold One – Beer 
2.. Arvo – Afternoon 
3.. Aussie Salute – Wave to scare the flies away. 
4.. Bail – To cancel plans. ‘Bruce bailed’ = Bruce isn’t going to turn up. 
5.. Bail out -- Get out ( of the car or bus) 
6.. Barbie – Barbecue 
7.. Bathers – Swimsuit 
8.. Beauty! – Great! Most often exclaimed as “You Beauty” 
9.. Billabong – A pond in a dry riverbed 
10.. Billy – Teapot (In the Outback on the fire) 
11.. Bloody – Very. Used to extenuate a point 
12.. Bloody oath – yes or its true. “You right mate?”… “Bloody Oath” 
13.. Bludger – Someone who’s lazy, generally also who relies on others 
(when it’s someone who relies on the state they’re often calleda ‘dole 
bludger’) 
14.. Bogan – This word is used for people who are, well let’s say, 
rednecks. Or, if you like, just call your friends a bogan when they are acting 
weird. 
15.. Booze Bus – Police vehicle used to catch drunk drivers 
16.. Bottle-O – Bottle Shop, basically a place to buy alcohol 
17.. Brekky – Breakfast

35.. Crook – Being ill or angry; ‘Don’t go crook on me for getting crook’ 
36.. C*nt, the “C” word – Used when exchanging pleasantries between close

you haven’t done anything to make them angry), then breathe a sigh of relief… 
it means you have entered the mate zone.

OO Writer

[Richard Beeston]

Hi
I have a question I would like answered please.
I am using Windows 7 and OO 4.1.5
For a paper I am writing I want the lines of writing to have a margin on both 
sides of the page but also for both sides to be justified so that the lines are 
filled to the margin and the spaces between the words/letters adjusted so the 
end of the lines are level with the margins all the way down the page except 
for the last line if there is insufficient wordage to fill the line. For 
instance if there are just two words I do not want them spaced out right across 
the page. 
Is there something in the justification button, that I have not discovered yet, 
that will allow me to do this?
Many Thanks

Re: Question re: footers

[Richard Beeston]

Hi Ian

The way that I put in footnotes is go to Tools - then footnotes/endnotes 
then put in the way you want the footnotes shown - either by roman numeerals 
letters or ordinary numbering as shown in the drop down box under footnotes.
Then go to the line underneath and work out what alternativve youy want 
whether it is counting per p-age or counting per chapter or counting per 
document and then put mthe option of where you want the footer to go.
If you use the auto numbering and per document it will autpomatically number 
the footnote when you click enter and then it opens a footnote box at the 
bottom of the page if this is where you want it and then click enter.


I have done this on several thesis papers and have had no trouble . If I try 
to put the footer in manually by number then you will get it every page 
because it does not know where the numbers are meant to be.

Filling down in OO Calc

Formula example is
=SUM(D2:AM2) and I need to fill in 400 rows in a spreadsheet and put this 
formula in column C with an incremental formula going into each of the 400 rows.
I have tried to do this but the same formula has appeared in all the 400 rows 
without any increment and I do not want to have to redo each of the formulas 
row by row. 
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Rory

This was not a "fast" shutdown. There was a small window came on the

left of a screen I was working os which indicated that it was from Open
Office which said there was an update for the dictionary to get English
English updates. I did not screen dump this so I cannot show you what it 
is.

I downloaded this as in my thesis I need the "correct" spelling for the
words in Australia not the US spelling. I turned off in the normal way 
which
I have been using for many years and then the next day I found my 
dictionary
had disappeared. This was annoying at the time and was wondering what to 
do

when Chris's email came into my inbox.
Going onto where to find some of the files. Where is the file explorer
found. I have typed this into the Search file  area and nothing comes up
except references to the emails that I have kept.  so if you could guide 
as

to where to find this I can then go on from there as per your previous
email.

I am using Windows 7 and OO 4.1.2
Thanks

Richard


I am very stale on Windows having moved to Linux some eight or so years ago 
and am unfamiliar with the more modern windows - anything after XP I have 
only touched to rescue one or two local computers in crisis.  The File 
Explorer (a name I have been given and seen by more informed users) is not 
the Search file area, but the mechanism by which one can navigate from one 
directory or disk to another.

Reset your OpenOffice User Profile.  Close OpenOffice and the 
Quickstarter.

Open File Explorer. Copy and paste %appdata%\OpenOffice\4 in the File
Explorer Address Bar and press Enter. Rename the "user" folder. Start
OpenOffice.

This cures most spellcheck problems

I don't know what you all do - I regularly (monthly) update the 
dictionaries

on my nine computers, using Xubuntu on most and Windows XP on some archive
machines, and have never lost my spellcheck.

It is possible that the computers are being powered off to quickly, before
the OO housekeeping files are fully written to disk; to make computers 
react

faster data is buffered in software and hardware buffers, both in the
computer and in the disk drives.

My advice is to always use the formal shut down procedure for your 
operating

system and wait until disk activity has ceased before hitting the power
switch.  The few extra seconds taken will (even cumulatively) be less than
the time taken to repair/rewrite a damaged file or repair a damaged
spellcheck.

Hi

Chris Addington is not the only one to have lost his spellcheck with this 
request to change the dictionary down load


I lost mine about 2 days earlier but did not think much of it at the time. 
Now trying to do a 30 word thesis so will need to get the spellchecker 
back into play.


Would appreciate if I could get the same email regarding this problem.

I have, in response to a private email, sent you instructions on what to do. 
Note that un/re-installing OpenOffice does not (repeat _NOT_) affect the OO 
user profile for reasons I have not time to expound.  The usual cure is to

Double line spacing

[Richard Beeston]

Hi

Is there anyone who can help me

I need to write a thesis and the requirement is to have double line spacing on 
each page of a document of approximately 150 pages. Ratber than hit the enter 
button twice each time especially as I could be writing long sentences and not 
wanting to interrupt my thought process can I set any part of OO to 
automatically do double line spacing.

Appreciate any assistance I can get

Richard

Re: Updates

[Richard Beeston]

Personally I prefer to read from the bottom up as then see when changes take 
place and the thread may have a few branches rather than having to go to the 
top every time a find that a branch has developed where I wasn't expecting 
one.

That is just my way of doing things however I may not be the only one.

Calling it rude is a value or attitude judgment.
To say that it removes the sequential flow of exchanges re: a thread is
not a value
judgment but a verifiable experience of newbies who will see the thread
in the archives
and not follow why the "one liner" was posted at the top.
When you have many one liners at the top, intermingles with many replies
at bottom
then the logical flow of original post and subsequent replies loses
quite a lot of
the logical flow.

Hi Ed.

Where are you downloading from.

You should download _only_ from

This is the only place that we have found that you can download a valid OO 
4.1.2 and get the vorrect details

Subject: 4.1.2 crashes - Ed

I am running  Windows  7.

I load  Open Office  4.1.2   -  after a short time it crashes.

Neither I nor my computer guy  can fix it.

The only solution -  uninstall the program and re-install it.

Then  it will crash again.

I have even reloaded  Open Office  4.1.0  in an attempt to find a program 
that doesn’t crash.


Any suggestions ??

Re: too much memory used

I had the same Problem until I put all my OOA on to a separate external hard

Subject: too much memory used

Hello:

I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve been using Apache OpenOfficeOrg for about 
three years now and never wrote about this issue.


I swear by this program, but I’ve been having increased problems with the 
amount of memory it’s using.


I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of how I can get the program to stop 
using up to 400K of memory and slowing down my computer.


Admittedly, I should upgrade my memory, but it’s still pretty annoying that 
the program is taking up so much memory while I’m trying to write.


Any advice is welcome.

Thanks,

Chev
