Re: Assistance re:scam

This is sad.  I would just about wager that the media you received or
website was loaded with malware.  At least you have a Mac.  That is what
protected your info.  Just follow the directions from Apache and you should
be fine.
Sorry for the bad experience.

Excel formula tool tip suggestion to match Microsoft's feature

[Steve Greaves]

Hi, team.
When building a formula in Excel, the tool tip does not go BOLD, as you type, 
unlike Microsoft's Excel.
May I suggest that this could be developed in a newer version?
Examples below:
 
Microsoft's has the BOLD type to help...

I have been trying to export a club roster that is in the Open Office ODS file 
format to PDF using Apache Open Office version 4.1.10. I have two rosters, an 
active roster and an inactive roster. It must have been a mistake to at one 
point open them both up at the same time.
There are tabs for them at the bottom so I can have one open book and one 
inactive book. Both load into the spreadsheet when I open the active roster 
file, and a tab for each displays at the bottom of the spreadsheet. If I try to 
close only the inactive roster tab, or book, both close simultaneously.

When I try to export the spreadsheet as a PDF and I point to the Active book it 
prints the Inactive book to PDF. I can't seem to separate them, and I can't 
seem to export the active roster book to PDF. Only the inactive roster book 
exports to PDF but it takes the file name of the active roster.
In other words, when I try to export the top, open book to PDF, Open Office 
reaches around to the back, grabs the inactive book, exports that one, and 
gives it the name of the active book that is on top
I sent the files to a club member who happens to work for Oracle. He downloaded 
your most recent Open Office and found it does the same thing.

Android?

[Steve]

How about a Open Office that works on an Andriod tablet?

My windows RT tablet (2013 Surface) is dead by design. No upgrades/updates
available, even for the browser, which is pretty much not supported by any
websites anymore, andit no longer powers up. (the browser tha MS installed
is the only browser option, as MS never approved another for the Surface.
No browsers (including the "latest and greatest" by MS) will download or
install.

I've used Open Office on my laptops and work desktops since 2000. I like
Open Office much more than MS WORD.

Question for Tech Support

[Steve Marder]

Dear Tech Support,

I am a new user of OpenOffice, having become increasing frustrated with 
Microsoft Word (for the Mac) over the years. As such, I am still very much in 
the learning stage but what I’ve seen so far of your program I like very much. 
One thing I haven’t been able to work out, though, assuming it exists in 
OpenOffice, is how to do a split screen in the text processor. I would’ve 
expected to find this in  the “View” menu or on the vertical scroll bar, but 
haven’t found it. Am I looking for something that isn’t there or is there a way 
to split the screen when entering text into a document? TIA.

Regards,

Steve Marder

Hi,

Thank you and your team for making the programs freely available to users

After my veteran microsoft office loaded back then by the university has

However, in my brief first trial I realize one cannot use the Ctrl key to
insert diacritics on Latin characters, such as the accents in French.
Besides, Ctrl+e, for instance appears as a shortcut for text alignement, so
it is impossible to use it for an accented French "e". I suppose there is
another way to get this done. I would greatly appreciate if you could help
me around with it.

Thank you.

Ayse,

One way of inserting special characters is to choose INSERT menu, then 
select SPECIAL CHARACTER... and then choose the character you wish to 
insert.


In the Help Menu (F1) under Keyboard there is a topic on assigning 
keyboard shortcuts if you wish to add or change a shortcut.

Right click (control click) on the OpenOffice icon in the Applications Folder.
This will bring up dialogue about not being an App Store application. Click

Brings up a confirming dialogue: Click Open or Ok.
OpenOffice should start and will continue to start whenever you want in the

Re: Is there a way to simplify summing Writer table cells?

What formula do you get when you click and drag? That should give you the

can "copy" the result cell and "paste special" to other columns' result cells.

Re: question

[Steve Ahlers]

Eli,

Open the folder that the download went to, click on the DMG image. Once it 
opens drag the OpenOffice icon to the Application Folder. The other files (Read 
Me and License) are for information.

To start the program open your Application Folder (if you want to have 
OpenOffice in your Dashboard drag the icon from the Application Folder to the 
Dashboard) and click on the icon.

If you have any further questions please respond to the 
users@openoffice.apache.org address.

Re: ROTATE

[Steve Ahlers]

Sylvia,

What are trying to do?

Are you trying to have a document print in Landscape instead of Portrait? This 
is a function of Page Setup.

Are you trying to have text in a Calc cell rotated? This is a function of Cell 
Formatting.

Are you trying to rotate text in a Draw or Impress document? This is a function 
of the Formatting in a Text Box.

Please let us know what you are specifically trying to do so that we as fellow

saving spreadsheet

[Steve Dunlap]

Hello,

My father downloaded open office with success. He has a rw dvd that he uses to 
save spreadsheets. The original spreadsheet was developed using microsoft 
office. When he made changes using the open office calc spreadsheet and tried 
to save the changes he got a message saying the revised spreadsheet could not 
be saved to rw dvd.

Any suggestions of how he can save it to the rw dvd?

Re: Open Office issue

[Steve Ahlers]

Bonnie,

In order for the Users Group to help you better it's helpful to know what 
Operating System (OS) you are using.  Here are some general suggestions to help 
you get started.

1.  First make sure all Open Office programs are shut down, how you do that 
depends on your OS.

2.  Go to:  http://www.openoffice.org/download/ click the Download button.  
This will redirect to a mirror site, Source Forge, the download will start in a 
few seconds, DO NOT CLICK ON ANY OTHER BUTTONS as this will possibly download 
malware.  After the download is complete follow the process for your OS to load 
the software onto your computer.

3.  Your second issue is usually due to a problem with your user profile on 
your computer.  It will need to be deleted, how you do that depends on your OS.

Please respond to the users group so that others will be able to help you.

RE: OpenOffice 4.1.1 Now Fails on Windows-7 32-bit

[Steve Hollingsworth]

Sorry for the typo on version.

I'm supposedly a better tech than that -- I've loaded OpenOffice probably a 
hundred times.

This time, nothing worked.  It was a fresh install of Windows-7.  Restarts 
didn't change the result.  The error message just said wouldn't run.

NOW ( 2:30 am) it DOES work.  I did delete the Files folder, and then deleted 
temps (via Ccleaner) and ran CHKDSK first.

Apologies,

Tom,

Where did you download the DMG from?

Make sure you are only downloading it from http://www.openoffice.org/ once you

Please respond to the open office users so that other users can help you.

Re: Open Office Suite for Mac OS 10.10

[Steve Ahlers]

Jim,

I use Apache Open Office in Yosemite with no problem.  

Go to the official web site https://www.openoffice.org/ to download.  This web 
site will connect you to Source Forge the official repository of the DMG. It 
will start the download AUTOMATICALLY.  

Once the download is done open your Download folder and click on the icon for 
Open Office, this will open the DMG.  Follow the arrow in the window and drag 
the icon into the Application folder.  

Then open your Application folder, you can open Open Office from there or drag 
a copy of the icon to your Dashboard.  

The first time you open the program you will need to Right Click or Control 
Click the icon and allow Yosemite to open the program since it does not come 
from the App Store and this is a function of the Gatekeeper protection against 
installing malware.

I have sent a copy of this directly to you.  Please respond to the users list 
if you have any further questions or comments.

this up, when I paste the data, it remains Times new Roman. I have to manually 
change it to Arial 14.
I'd like whatever data I paste into the cells to remain Arial 14 - preferably 
centered in the cell. 

Is this possible?



Thanks - Steve

There is a way of putting the Apache Open Office icon onto your desk top but as 
it has been many years since I worked with Windo$ and I always preferred a 
clean desk top I don't remember how. Perhaps someone who currently uses the OS 
could help you more.

 Thanks Steve.  That worked; however that's still a long way around.  It's 
 shorter to go to a document in a file folder and open it from there.  The 
 icon that was saved on my desktop when I did the upgrade to Apache is a file 
 folder and goes straight to the folders when I click on it and bypasses the 
 OpenOffice page that has the listings of everything such as:  Text document, 
 Spreadsheet, Presentation, Open, etc.  It's the Text document that I'd like 
 to access more quickly.  Before the update, if I clicked on the icon on my 
 desktop, it would take me right to the table of contents page or whatever 
 it's called.
 
 I'll keep very carefully playing until something triggers what I require.
 
 Thanks for your prompt replies and your help,

 Been a while since I've used Windoz so this is from memory. Click on icon on 
 bottom left of screen, move pointer up to Choose program or Start program 
 and click, a list of available programs should show up, scroll through list 
 until Apache Open Office shows up, click it and the Open Office start window 
 should open, click on Writer and a new document should open.

 I hope that you have downloaded the German language version of Open Office

 provides you many language options for the Open Office suite, and many
 options for the operating system under which you will run Open Office.
 
 I suggest that you uninstall the German language version of Open Office
 which you have downloaded.  There really is no  way to switch it to
 English, whether US English, British English, or Canadian English.
 
 After uninstalling the German language version, go to www.openoffice.org

 The Open Office website will take you to Source Forge, from which your

Re: Trouble after download

[Steve Ahlers]

You need to go to the official site OpenOffice.org to download the software, 
you will be redirected to SourceForge. net, the official mirror site.  When you 
download from the official site you do not get malware downloaded.

Before you download a clean version of the software you need to run your 
anti-malware and anti-virus software to clean your computer.

The compatibility issues (a), (b), (c) and (d) are true for any proprietary 
file structure, and can be seen between different versions of MS Office.

My version of Apache Open Office has spell checking and dictionaries available 
in many different languages and dialects. I don't use grammar checking but I 
believe extensions are available that will perform that function.

Depending on your operating system and display you should be able to view 
multiple documents side by side; I can easily view two documents on my iMac and 
even a third using my iPad as an auxiliary display.

I don't know enough about presentation software to address your last issue.

Open Office Writer

[Steve La Porta]

Good morning. I learning how to navigate through the tracking 
changes/red-lining feature of Open Office Writer. 

I am editing a long project and want to become familiar with it. I am having 
two initial problems and hoping to learn solutions. 

1) I went into the preferences and changed the font color for editing from the 
default red to dark blue. The edits I made were shown in dark blue, however, 
after re-opening the file the next day, the edits all appeared in lime green? 
Do you have any suggestions for maintaining the color of choice?

2) I find the underscoring of words, phrases, and punctuations to be visually 
distracting -- especially in the context of strike through edits. In short, 
there are horizontal lines everywhere on the page. Is there a means of undoing 
the underscore feature? 

Thanks very much for your help. 

Cheers, 

Steve

Re: How do I open spreadsheets in the QuattroPro with extension .wb3 with open office?

[Steve Ahlers]

1) open file in quattropro, save as excel 97..., open xls file in calc, save as 
ods, work with ods file in calc.

2) if you don't have quattropro, down load free trial of wordperfect office and 
then proceed with step 1).

3) if you don't run windoz, create a windoz virtual machine and then proceed 
with 2) and then 1).

4) go to www.zamzar.com, follow steps to convert to ods

I had several files to convert from wp and qp and use an iMac so chose to use 
3). Zamzar limits the size of files that you can convert, plus I didn't want to 
share confidential data with a third party. By the way windoz os is very big 
and requires a dvd to write to when you down load it.

Is there anyone who understands Bulgarian that could communicate directly with

Signature

[Steve La Porta]

Good morning. I have created a letter of agreement document in Apache Open 
Office 4.0.1. that I will be sending to a client. At the end of the document, I 
have included two lines for signatures -- for both myself and the client. I 
have never explored the realm of digital signatures. Is there a feature in Open 
Office that will allow me to create and paste a digital copy of my signature 
onto the document that doesn't include scanning? I do not currently have a copy 
of my signature on my computer. Thanks for your help. 

Best Regards,

Steve La Porta

Re: OO 4.1 and accessibility support

[Steve Yin]

Hi Claus,

I recommend you to report the problem by AOO bugzilla
https://issues.apache.org/ooo.

Or you can send a mail directly to d...@openoffice.apache.org or
q...@openoffice.apache.org. :)


On Thu, Mar 20, 2014 at 4:36 PM, Claus Thøgersen c.th...@gmail.com wrote:

 Hi,

 I do not know if  this is the correct list to ask this q   question.
 In the 4.1 beta the accessibility support has been changed and hopefully
 improved.
 Of course not all things currently work as we would expect, and there are
 differences between using JAWS or the NVDA screen reader. For normal
 users it is impossible to know if the problems we see are related to OO or
 are caused by the screen reader support of the accessibility interfaces. So
 where and how do we report problems?

Re: AOO on a Mac

[Steve Ahlers]

Shari,

It's easy to install AOO on OSX.  Just remember the first time running it you 
will need to Right click or Control click the icon to open it and let the 
OS know that it is okay to run the software.  Since AOO doesn't come from the 
App store it isn't in the OS's library of okay software, this is part of OSX's 
protection against malware.

I've sent you a copy of this response to you as a courtesy, please respond to 
the users list.

Shari,

I am not exactly a klutz, but I am far from highly proficient, and I have

I do not have Mavericks.  Anyway, I highly recommend both Mac and OO for 
ordinary people use.

 it can work on a Mac. I just don't know if it's easy or difficult.
 
 I'm wondering if anyone could share whether it is easy to get setup on a

 Thanks for any information on the subject.

 The idea here is to have a systematic way to collect information
 related to the hash mark issue that we see reported from some users.
 If we can point the users to a survey like this, we can collect all
 the relevant information in one place and hopefully detect the
 patterns and narrow down the possible causes.
 
 There is more I need to do on the finer details of the survey, to add
 some screen shots, fix up the next, make some fields context sensitive
 (only ask Windows version for Windows users, for example).
 
 But I'd like to see if there are any top-level things I should change?
 Any new additional questions, for example?
 
 Feel free to try it out, enter some data, etc.  But don't use it for
 real reports yet since I'm planning on tossing out any test data and
 starting the survey over again when ready.

Re: AOO 4.0.1 and MacOS Mavericks?

[Steve Ahlers]

Rob,

I have down loaded Mavericks and AOO 4.0.1 and so far had no problems. The only 
thing I've experienced is the same as in Mountain Lion of not wanting to open 
AOO initially because it is a third party software not software coming from the 
App Store. With other OSs using App Stores like Apple has been doing it would 
be a great idea to make AOO available through this source, besides it would 
increase the exposure for AOO without going through questionable secondary 
providers who sell it and refer people here for support.

Re: Retrieve

[Steve Ahlers]

Marion,

Assuming that you had your hard drive replaced:
1) I'd retrieve them from my Time Machine backup (I use an inexpensive external 
1 Terabyte hard drive)
2) I'd ask the person who replaced it to try and retrieve the files from the 
old hard drive.
3) Kiss them goodbye and start backing up the new hard drive

No problems if properly installed, depends on what version of Windoz you have

Not unless you want to
