No, "Check for updates automatically" should be disabled to prevent
problems on macOS.

Just to clarify: the Online Update has a section to (O) check for updates and a 
different section to (O) automatically download updates.

I assume you are advising users to disable automatic downloads but keep check 
for updates?

Hi,

Yes, that is an old bug becoming more visible on macOS because some
extensions were updated recently.

Just as a quick "work around": Please disable the option for "Online

Hi Brian,

I've updated my printer software, restarted the computer. All documents and
templates I have print just fine so I think the problem is the template my
husband has been using. I'll keep working on it to get his template to
work--maybe make a new template for a user defined size.

I did subscribe to the User Forum but forgot how to post to the forum. This
was the first time I've posted myself so wasn't sure how to do that. Do I
need to go to the Forum Board and post there, or can I use the <
users@openoffice.apache.org> address to post from my mail program?

Thank you for your help,

Make sure you have updated your printer drivers from the printer’s web site. 
Then restart your computer to implement those updated drivers. Then start 
OpenOffice and retry printing. Also make sure that your printer’s ink levels 
are good.

Upgrade to Mac Catalina

Hi,
After upgrading to Catalina and downloading the latest Open Office 4.1.7 I
have had trouble printing correctly. Even though my document uses black for
the text font color, when printing it comes out as blue. I have gone
through the preferences to see if my settings are incorrect, but can't
figure it out.

Is this a problem with using Catalina with Open Office 4.1.7?

Some of these docs are very important and I can’t even view my list I’m

I tried working with the access under the info section of the file,
I tried copying the file to try and edit it without success, I’m not sure what 
to do.

I tried opening with both the previous version and the current with no success.

I have searched the support forums and google for answers with no solution so

I understand some have an understanding of programming with code which I am not

Ellipse is narrow horizon for both size. Oval is narrow curve for one side, but

not circle and square as one whole because it overlaps, so it is one half

Re: Windows 10 upgrade [was: Word documents]

2016-04-28 Thread Brian Barker

At 14:42 29/04/2016 +1000, Jean Lear wrote:
... I would caution anyone who upgrades to Windows 10, before doing 
anything else to check the Tools > Options > Language Settings > 
Language of Apache Open Office. (This is if they are using anything 
other that English (USA).) My sad experience was that Windows 10 was 
put onto my computer without me being aware of it. I later found 
that the Options I had previously set for languages, which was 
English (Australian) had been changed to English (USA).


If you needed to set your OpenOffice language to "English 
(Australia)", it may be that your original Windows installation was 
incorrectly set to Microsoft's default US locale and language. If you 
had configured Windows to Australian settings, these may have instead 
been inherited automatically by OpenOffice. When Windows 10 was 
installed, one of the first things that should have been done - if 
this didn't happen automatically - was to ensure that the regional 
and language settings in Windows itself were again set appropriately.


I'm surprised that upgrading Windows should change your OpenOffice 
options, but perhaps - since you say this was done without your 
knowledge - you will not know whether a fresh installation of 
OpenOffice was made or whether your OpenOffice profile was 
unhelpfully deleted by whoever did the job in your absence. You can 
easily reset the language options, of course - exactly as you 
describe. But the best way is to get the Windows settings right first.


This changed formatting such as dates in all my OpenOffice Calc 
files. When I reset the formatting in the Options all the dates 
became corrupted and ended up being shown as a four year and one day 
difference in everything. The only thing I could do then, apart from 
going through all the settings for OpenOffice in the Options in case 
anything else had been changed, was to start new files for 
everything I was currently wanting to use from the date I found the 
errors. The old files I have retained are of very little use to me now.


You are right to say that you should have been able to attend to this 
- very easily, I hope - in the OpenOffice options. Dates are stored 
as the number of days from a date origin. There are three choices for 
this origin - for consistency with other software - and these are 
provided at Tools | Options... | OpenOffice Calc | Calculate | Date. 
(The one-day difference between one pair is to cope with Microsoft's 
erroneous belief, built into Microsoft Excel and itself inherited 
from Lotus 1-2-3, that 1900 was a leap year and that 29 February 1900 
existed. It didn't.) One pair of these options differs by exactly 
four years and one day, so resetting this to whatever you had 
previously used may have solved your problem instantly and without 
reconstructing your spreadsheets.


I sympathise with your predicament and don't mean to belittle your 
problem. Indeed, these matters are so interdependent on various 
settings and software versions that - despite my confident belief - I 
do not guarantee what I've suggested.

Re: Upgrade 4.1.2.

Two questions Henry,

1. What website, the URL please (http://), did you download the
software from?
2. What antivirus software, title and version please?

If the software came from the official site, http://www.openoffice.org, it
is unlikely to have a virus. And some antivirus products have given false
positives when scanning OpenOffice.

On the other hand if the software came from some other website it may or
may not contain a virus. OpenOffice is open source and as a result anyone
can put anything into it that they wish, enhancements or viruses.

Nein.  

If you have 4.1.2, there is no action required for CVE-2015-1774.

Wenn Sie 4.1.2 haben, gibt es keine Aktion für CVE-2015-1774 erforderlich.

Thank you for your report.

Although we have heard some users have this problem, we have not been able to 
reproduce it.  Many of us upgraded to Windows 10 without difficulty.

Please help us by providing more details.  Please reply only to 
mailto:users@openoffice.apache.org and not to me.  If you reply to me, I will 
assume that I have permission to post your reply to that list.

Initial questions:

1. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
Right click on the Windows button (leftmost symbol on the task bar), and then 
select System.  Please report the following information:

  Windows edition
The name of the edition (first line under Windows edition):

  System
Processor:
Installed memory (RAM):
System type:
Pen and Touch:

2. OPEN OFFICE CONFIGURATION
   Now left click on the Windows button
   On the left sidebar that shows all programs, scroll down to the letter O 
where you see a folder named OpenOffice.
   What is the full name of that folder (including any version number)?:


   Click on the OpenOffice entry in the all-programs entry.
   In the list that opens up, click on the first entry, for OpenOffice itself.  
Do not click on any of the individual components.
   OpenOffice should open and present its dashboard view.
   This is a white frame with the buttons for the six types of documents 
processed by OpenOffice.

   At the top of the opened OpenOffice window, there is a menu row.  Click on 
the Help item.
   In the little pop-down list that opens, click About OpenOffice
   What is the version information in the About ... OpenOffice display that 
opens up?

   Name and version of the software (e.g., Apache OpenOffice 4.1.1 :
   Rev. number (in line below name and version number) if any (e.g., 1617669):

Click OK on the About ...OpenOffice display.

On the dashboard, there is a diagram of a file folder with an arrow emerging 
from it.  Click on the down pointer to the right of that image.  (Not the 
folder, the down pointer).

You should see a list of the last few documents you worked on.

How many items are in the list (default maximum is 10):

How many will open by clicking on their filenames in that list (do this in 
reverse order):

(This is about opening in any mode, read-only or not.  To go through them one 
at a time, you will have to close the opened one without attempting any 
changes, and re-open OpenOffice to try the next one)

How many of those that open are identified as being read-only:

How do you determine that they are read-only?  

That is, what is the indication in the opened-document window.  Is it the same 
for all of the documents that open read-only?


THAT'S MANY QUESTIONS

When we see your response, we will have other questions about the locations of 
those documents, or of others that you tried to open that are not on that list 
of recent documents.

Thank you for reporting your difficulty.  Your answers will be instrumental in 
helping us to narrow down the case to where we can identify its origin and 
provide a work-around.

REPORTING Windows 10 Upgrade Issues: BASIC SITUATION

2015-08-08 Thread Dennis E. Hamilton
We are reading reports of some users *not* being able to edit in OpenOffice 
after upgrading to Windows 10.  We have not been able to reproduce the 
situation from that information alone.  Many of us have upgraded to Windows 10 
without difficulty.
 
If you or someone you know is having this problem show up in OpenOffice, please 
help us by working with the Windows 10 computer that is involved.  Reply only 
to users@openoffice.apache.org and not to individuals.  If you reply to me, I 
will assume that I have permission to post your reply to this list and 
personally forward it to the list.

The easy way to reply is with this original included.  Just enter your answers 
where they are asked for.  Send the whole thing.

BASIC SITUATION INFORMATION

This is a little lengthy.  It is to obtain just the basics.  Depending on the 
basic information, there will be follow-ups to obtain further details.  We have 
seen a case where this procedure was enough to find a resolution of the problem.

1. SCOPE OF PROBLEM
   Do you see this problem using files in applications other than OpenOffice?

   If you notice the problem with other files and applications let us know. 
That is very important.  Because you are having the difficulty with OpenOffice 
either way, please go through the remainder of this procedure anyhow.  

1. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
In Windows 10, right click on the Windows button (leftmost symbol on the task 
bar), and then select System.  Please report the following information from 
the display that appears.

  Windows edition
The name of the edition (complete first line below Windows edition):

  System
Processor:
Installed memory (RAM):
System type:
Pen and Touch:

2. OPEN OFFICE CONFIGURATION

   Now left click on the Windows button.

   On the left sidebar of the Start display that shows all programs, scroll 
down to the letter O where you see a folder named OpenOffice.  If you don't see 
a list of all programs, click the All apps item at the bottom of the sidebar 
to show the list.  If you do not see a left sidebar at all, click the menu 
button (a stack of three horizontal lines) in the upper-left corner of the 
start page.

   What is the full name of that OpenOffice folder (including any version 
number)?:


   Click on the OpenOffice entry in the all-programs entry.
   In the list that opens up, click on the first entry, for OpenOffice itself.  
Do not click on any of the individual components.
   OpenOffice should open and present its dashboard view.
   This provides a white frame including buttons for the six types of documents 
processed by OpenOffice.

   At the top of the opened OpenOffice window, there is a menu row.  Click on 
the Help item.  In the little pop-down list that opens, click About 
OpenOffice  What is the version information in the About ... OpenOffice 
display that opens up?

   Name and version of the software (e.g., Apache OpenOffice 4.1.1:

   Rev. number (in line below name and version number) if any (e.g., 1617669):

Click OK on the About ...OpenOffice display.

On the dashboard, there is a diagram of a file folder with an arrow emerging 
from it.  Click on the down pointer to the right of that image.  (Not the 
folder, the down pointer).

Do you see a list of the last few documents you worked on?

How many items are in the list (default maximum is 10):

IF THERE ARE NONE, STOP HERE.  Let us know the information requested above and 
there will be a follow-up question.

IF THERE ARE ITEMS IN THE LIST, CONTINUE.

The items in the list are numbered.  This information will be important later.  
Write down the numbers and the full names of the files at each number.  You may 
have to put your mouse over any name that has been abbreviated to see the full 
name. The full names are important for forensic work.  

PLEASE REVIEW ALL OF THE QUESTIONS BELOW SO YOU CAN WORK THROUGH THE LIST ONLY 
ONCE:

How many will open by clicking on their filenames in that list (do this in 
reverse order)?:

(This is about opening in any mode, editable or not.  To go through them one at 
a time, you will have to close the opened one without attempting any changes, 
then re-open OpenOffice to try the next one.) 

This procedure cannot open a file that has been moved from where it was last 
used in OpenOffice.  OpenOffice will report this.  How many of those are there?

How many of those open with no problem and no indication they cannot be edited?:

How many of those that open are identified as being read-only or not editable?:

How do you determine that they are not editable?  

That is, what is the indication in the opened-document window.  Is it the same 
for all of the documents that open read-only?

Include the list of documents that open but that are not editable.  The 
follow-up will ask you to narrow in on those files to see what about them is a 
problem.


THAT'S MANY QUESTIONS

When we see your response, we will have other questions about the locations of 
those 

RE: Files locked for editing after Win7 upgrade to Win10

2015-08-08 Thread Dennis E. Hamilton
No problem.  That the limitation applies to only one file is a very big clue.  
It is valuable to learn that this is an isolated case for you.  It is also 
important in helping other users determine whether the problem is a lingering 
lock on a file had been edited in the past.

Thank you for working through this by the numbers and narrowing to a specific 
problem.

I am going to summarize and suggest a remedy.  This remedy should work for 
everyone that has the same situation on Windows 10.

For you, there is a single file, by name, that is locked for editing.

There are two ways to deal with this.  Please let us know which you tried and 
confirm that it was successful:

 1. Immediate work-around: Open that file and save it with a new name, varied 
somehow to show this is a later version to use.  It is important that the name 
be different.  
If this succeeds, you can now delete the version that is locked for editing 
using the Windows File Explorer.

 2. In the same folder as that document, you can instead find the lock file and 
remove it.  Here's how to find and remove lock entries in the same folder as a 
document that is locked for editing.  

  a. For example, I have a document test-locking.odt in a folder.  
  b. I opened the document in AOO 4.1.1 and changed one line.
  c. *Without saving* the changed document, I used the task manager to close 
AOO.  (The same would happen if I did a restart or a shutdown while a document 
edit was in-progress.)
  d. Since I did not complete editing of the document, there is a lock file in 
the same folder.  Its name, in my case, is .~lock.test.locking.odt#.  This is 
a HIDDEN file.

 3. To View Hidden files (always a good idea) in Windows File Explorer on 
Windows 10,
  a. Select the View tab in the Windows File Explorer window that is opened at 
the suspect folder.
  b. For the Layout, select Details (to give you a look at the actual file 
names and other data.  You can always change the view of folder to any other 
preference.  Use Details for trouble-shooting.
  c. Over in the Show/hide section of the View tab,
 (i) Leave Item check boxes alone if you like the way things work
 (ii) CHECK File name extensions
 (iii) CHECK Hidden items

 That should reveal the lock.your-file-name# file.  You can just delete 
it, now that you see it.

Probably you should.  There were 89 bug reports resolved in 4.1.1, 314
resolved in 4.1.0, 90 in 4.0.1, and over 500 in 4.0.0--that's a lot of
resolved bugs, even if a few of those bugs relate to translation

can see the list of resolved bugs in the Bugzilla bug tracker.  For
example, here's the list for 4.1.1:

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/buglist.cgi?bug_status=RESOLVEDbug_status=VERIFIEDbug_status=CLOSEDtarget_milestone=4.1.1

 I once tried 4.0 and encountered many problems so I'm wary.

You may want to search the bug reports to see if the problems you
experienced were known issues which have been resolved.  And of course
you can ask questions on this list if you have problems in the future.

Re: Should I Upgrade?

2014-12-29 Thread Tony Gallas

G'day Fred
Like you, I'm a fairly ordinary user. I run Win 8.1 64 bit and the latest AOO 
version and always update when a new version comes out. Generally, a few bugs 
are fixed and occasionally extra functionalities are added.
When you upgrade, always do it from the official sitewww.openoffice.org  which 
takes you to the SourceForge site where all AOO files are stored. Once there 
your download should start in a few seconds once you click the download button. 
Downloading from a third party source almost guarantees that you will have 
problems and usually wants to add other software that may or not be safe
Good luck
Tony

Since this is not officially supported by Kubuntu I cannot easily run 
apt-get remove, but have to deal with 
dpkg

While it was easy to run 

 sudo dpkg -i  *deb

It is not clear to me how to do the inverse, so
what  is the relevant (comfortable) command for the de installation?

thanks

 Hi Mike, I use Thunderbird imap'd to gMail. The simple answer (and possibly
 not technically correct) to your question is that gMail in itself is not a
 program, like Microsoft Word is a program. Your computer can be set to open
 the file type .doc with a program. As gMail isn't a program, it can't be
 select as the open with.

 When you're working in your browser and offered email, it's your browser
 that is handling that, not your system, hence why it can offer the gMail
 option.

 I believe a few people have shared some ways around this, so it can be
 made to do it. I find Thunderbird the easiest, as I use it for my email;
 hence why I choose that route.

Simple:  there is an industry standard for accessing email:  MAPI
(Messaging Application Programming Interface).  OpenOffice works with
any application that supports MAPI.   Most email clients support MAPI.
 GMail does not.  That is their choice.  We can't force them to
support MAPI.  But we're not writing custom support for every email
client in existence.  We support the standard.

A quick search shows there are products out there that claim to add
MAPI support to GMail. I haven't tried any of them to see how they
work with OpenOffice, but this one sounds interesting:

Maybe you missed the part where I pointed out that 3rd parties have
already written adapters to bring MAPI support to GMail.  That's the
way to go.  If you use an adapter then all of your desktop
applications that support MAPI will be able to work with GMail as

Google has no email client.
All it offers is a web interface to their email server.

OpenOffice need to find an email program e.g.. Thunderbird
So you need to wait till version 1 of the Google email client if that 
ever will come.

In what way do you use OpenOffice with Email,  sending email documents or HTML 
emails has always worked with OO just a matter of knowing your smtp server 
details.  OO isn't a email client so it won't receive mail. Can you be more
