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

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. Please respond to: users@openoffice.apache.org so all users can help you.

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? Thanks for your help, Georgia

After upgrade, files locked
I am having difficulty opening and editing my docs after upgrading openoffice.org to apache version. Some of these docs are very important and I can’t even view my list I’m managing for myself and my parents, having the responsibility of their estate. My files say they are LOCKED. Asks me if I want to overwrite or when I attempted to do so, doesn’t work, If I remember correctly. I am on an AirBook Mac. 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 far. I understand some have an understanding of programming with code which I am not capable or not sure I’d be comfortable doing... How can I get passed this issue! Appreciate any help, it would help me a lot to be able to access these docs! Mike G.

Re: Windows 10 upgrade [was: Word documents]
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.

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.

REPORTING Windows 10 Upgrade Issues: BASIC SITUATION
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
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. -Original Message- From: D. and L.

Re: Should I Upgrade?
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 On 30/12/2014 2:08 PM, FC wrote: I use OO 3.4.1 with Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

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.

What would it take to do! If perhaps %95 percent of email traffic is represented by the top three clients why exclude the biggest of them, in spite of their preference not to support MAPI. It doesn't make any sense! 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 well. -Rob Regards, Mike On 24 July 2013 12:31, Rob Weir robw...@apache.org wrote: On Wed, Jul 24, 2013 at 7:03 AM, MIKE LISH emell...@gmail.com wrote: All of this seems rather convoluted and complicated. Why can't AOO be made to recognize Google, as it has been made to recognize its compatibility with Microsoft .doc etc. etc. instead of pushing blame in Google's direction. I find it difficult to accept there is no work around to this problem. C'mon! AOO is great in most other ways, and it seems ridiculous for it not to recognize Google email! ! 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: http://www.mapi4gmail.com/ Regards, -Rob Mike Lish On 23 July 2013 19:03, Dennis E. Hamilton dennis.hamil...@acm.org wrote: That's not the issue. Apache OpenOffice does not discriminate on that basis. What is the issue is that Apache OpenOffice uses the on-desktop protocol for requesting the opening of an e-mail with a given attachment. This will usually be whatever is recognized as the default e-mail application on the desktop. Google does not provide any kind of desktop presence by which this can be handled. However, it is possible to access Google Mail by standard desktop e-mail applications, instead of using a browser. *That* software can then be reached by Apache OpenOffice so long as it is capable of being registered as the default e-mail application. The Microsoft Outlook desktop application will do this -- connect to Google Mail and integrate with Apache OpenOffice. Depending on operating system, the Windows Live Mail application will also connect to Google Mail and also be triggered by Apache OpenOffice. The same should apply for Outlook Express if someone still uses an operating system that has that desktop application. There are some differences in how this works with Windows 8. There is some other thread or perhaps bugzilla issue where that has been discussed. - Dennis -Original Message- From: Urmas [mailto:davian...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 23, 2013 05:08 AM To: users@openoffice.apache.org Subject: Re: Still unable to email documents with version 4 upgrade I was hoping this upgrade would overcome this frustrating and very annoying problem.

Re: Still unable to email documents with version 4 upgrade
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 specific as to your needs please Cheers GL Do I need to wait for version 12 before this is sorted??

Re: re Open Office upgrade
Hope you might have checked there is enough space for installation. (The installation software generally checks for this) Generally the last screen gives a report whether it has been successfully installed or there was an error.

Re: re Open Office upgrade
Desmond, After opening the DMG did you drag the OO.org icon to the Application folder? What version of OSX are you running? Click on the Apple Icon in the upper left corner, choose About This Mac, choose More Information to find out.
