OpenOffice can't find installed Java RE

[David Koch]

OO was re-installed after a computer crash. Java RE (32-bit) was 
installed in the proper location as verified on a second computer - same 
brand, both Windows 11. Yet OO cannot find the Java RE on one computer. 
Have tried reinstalling both Java and OO (4.1.13), and restarting 
computer without success.


Any suggestions?

Hi -

In order to not overload the infrastructure we wait a week or so to update the

We are all volunteers here. Thanks for the prompt.

Check for Updates Manually Can't find OpenOffice Version 4.1.4

[BOBBY ZIINO]

Hi there,


It's been a week since OpenOffice 4.1.4 has been released and it still isn't 
found via the Check for Updates setting mechanism when searched for manually, 
is it still yet to be uploaded to the Apache OpenOffice servers or is it no 
longer provided through the Check For Updates mechanism.


I previously updated to 4.1.3 from 4.1.2 from the Check for Updates checker 
mechanism.


Regards Bobby

No, you downloaded the installation file, but as the rest of your

On Windows, the most likely location is on your desktop. Otherwise do a
simple Windows search for the installation file, which is called
Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.3_Win_x86_install_en-US.exe unless you chose a
language other than English-US.

You can do that by forcing changes the software's global settings from
the main menu "/Tools -> Options../" item.

This works, but does not give you the flexibility of creating and using
your own personal default template for the Writer word processor.
See: https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1161

OOoLilyPOnd, obtainable from
http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/ooolilypond is more likely
to work than MuseScore Manager.

I wouldn't be surprised if  the _LibreOffice SongBook Architect_
(http://struckkai.blogspot.de/2015/04/libreofficesongbookarchitect.html)
is more appropriate than either OOoLilyPond or MuseScore
Manager4LibreOffice.(Contrary to its name, LOSA is available for both
LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice.)

Gillian;
The problem is that the character map is font dependent and not all
fonts have the same glyphs and if they do they may not be in the same
area. If this is something that you do frequently it may behoove you to
find a font that has the the glyphs that you need and install it on your
machine. That way it will be available to AOO.

Wade;

Please be careful when recommending extensions that are written
specifically for LibreOffice as they may not work in the latest versions
of Apache OpenOffice due to API changes introduced in AOO Version 4.0. I
tried your recommended extension and it indeed does not work in AOO
version 4.1.2.

Re: Can't find answer on website or Help

[Gillian Barrington]

Thanks for your reply Doug.  I have tried this compose thing, got the icon
in the system tray, found the symbols I want, but nothing happens when I
use it in Open Office.  I don't have a key marked AltRight so I assumed
AltGr was the nearest (it is on the right).
If I type AltRt  #=  I get just that, not the natural sign that I want.
Any clues as to what I am missing?

Re: Can't find answer on website or Help--Hope I can help

[anthonyrudgers]

Greetings,

One doesn't need to summon up Linux to get all the special characters one 
needs for music, mathematics, or most anything else.  It's all there in MS 
Windows, waiting for you to use.  First, do a search ON YOUR COMPUTER for 
"Character Map."  On my HP Envy notebook running Windows 10, the path is 
given:


Local Drive(C)>Program Files>Microsoft>Windows>Start Menu>Programs>Windows 
Accessories>System Tools


When you get to the screen that has the Character Map, pin that app to your 
Windows Tool Bar.  Now when you have a document in OpenOffice, Mail, or any 
other similar word-processor utility, just click on the Character Map icon 
on your Tool Bar, find your special symbol, select it, copy it, & then paste 
it into your document, "easy as pie."  Not all of the fonts, & there are 
many, have the ♭ (music flat) symbol, so you'll have to search to find a 
flat symbol to your liking.  The one shown above came from the Character Map 
font "Lucida Sans Unicode."


I hope this helps you.

Best wishes,

Anthony J. Rudgers

Don't just b♯,  b♭.  These symbols were typed using a Compose key in
Linux. There is at least one program that will provide a compose key in
Windows.

Here is the download site for WinCompose:
https://github.com/S...evar/wincompose
<https://github.com/SamHocevar/wincompose>

And here is the site that leads to it:
https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/92511-wincompose-a-robust-compose-key-for-windows/

The sharp symbol is made by Compose ##.♯
The flat symbol is made by Compose # b♭
And a natural is made by Compose # f♮

Note that the letters are case-sensitive!

You can also make them by Unicode. I don't know how to do Unicode in
Windows, but the Unicodes for the symbols are

sharp: 266F

flat: 266D

natural:   266E

You can make lots of other things with Compose: all the diacritical
marks for European languages, currency symbols, fractions., some Greek
letters.

Your problem here sounds more to do with your computer hardware or 
operating system, in fact.


The main problem I have at present is trying to type in text the 
symbols found in music: I have a sharp symbol on my keyboard but 
none of the others, particularly needing the flat symbol.


Actually, what you have on your keyboard is a hash mark (U+0023), not 
the same as a musical sharp sign (U+266F) - though you may be 
satisfied in using one for the other. A good font should contain a 
proper sharp sign as well and flat and natural signs.


I have looked all over the character map as advised in your Help but 
it just isn't there.


I'm not sure what you mean by the character map, as there appears to 
be nothing called this in OpenOffice. You may be referring to a 
facility on your laptop that allows you to access characters not 
otherwise available on the keyboard. But there is a way to do this 
from within OpenOffice: go to Insert | Special Character... . If you 
scroll down, you will find the character there if it exists in your 
chosen font. But note that no font has all available characters and 
many may not have the musical signs you need. You can select the font 
at the top of the Special Characters panel.


At the bottom right of the Special Characters panel you will see the 
Unicode code point - a four-digit hexadecimal number - for the 
character you have currently located in the main panel. The 
characters you are likely to be interested in are:

U+2669 Quarter note (= crotchet)
U+266A Eighth note (= quaver)
U+266B Beamed eighth notes (= beamed quavers)
U+266C Beamed sixteenth notes (= beamed semiquavers)
U+266D Music flat sign
U+266E Music natural sign
U+266F Music sharp sign
U+1D12A Musical symbol double sharp
U+1D12B Musical symbol double flat

My Times New Roman font, for example, has only quaver and semiquaver, 
not any of the signs you want. My DejaVu Sans has the first seven but 
not the last two. Some other fonts have none of these. Your fonts may 
differ. It's a simple fact that if your fonts do not include the 
relevant glyphs, you simply cannot print them. That's a font problem, 
not an OpenOffice problem. Your inserted character can be in a 
different font from surrounding text, of course.


The only way I can do it is to find an old document containing it 
and copy and paste. Surely this can't be right?


Indeed not.

I am using an HP Pavilion x360 laptop with windows 10.  Like many 
modern laptops it has no number pad or num lock key so I can't 
access Alt codes.


That's unfortunate. Many laptops have hidden numeric keypads on the 
7, 8, 9, U, I, O, J, K, L, and M keys - but unfortunately not yours, it seems.


If you need a flat or sharp sign very infrequently, it may be easiest 
to insert it using the Special Characters panel each time. But if you 
need these frequently, you may find it easier to type a code of your 
choice and replace these globally after you have finished entering 
your text. For example, you could enter #f, #n, and #s for flat, 
natural, and sharp and the replace these with the proper characters 
using Find & Replace in one go at the end.


I trust this helps.

Don't just b♯,  b♭.  These symbols were typed using a Compose key in 
Linux. There is at least one program that will provide a compose key in 
Windows.


Here is the download site for WinCompose: 
https://github.com/S...evar/wincompose 



And here is the site that leads to it: 
https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/92511-wincompose-a-robust-compose-key-for-windows/


The sharp symbol is made by Compose ##.♯
The flat symbol is made by Compose # b♭
And a natural is made by Compose # f♮

Note that the letters are case-sensitive!

You can also make them by Unicode. I don't know how to do Unicode in 
Windows, but the Unicodes for the symbols are


sharp: 266F

flat: 266D

natural:   266E

You can make lots of other things with Compose: all the diacritical 
marks for European languages, currency symbols, fractions., some Greek 
letters.


Go to:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GtkComposeTable

Hope that helps!  --doug

This is a known problem with Oracle Java as detailed in the AOO Version
4.1.2 Release notes at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.1.2+Release+Notes#AOO4.1.2ReleaseNotes-KnownIssues.

The work around is to make sure that the legacy Apple Java is installed
from the following link:
https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572

Please reply only to the list and not to my personal e-mail Any replies
will be forwarded to the list.

Won't recognize Java - can't find answer

[Sunny]

I've spent over an hour searching online and through community support
for answers to why OO won't recognize Java on my Macbook.  I have OS X
10.10.5  and the very latest version of legacy Java.  When I first
downloaded and open OO and it said I didn't have Java, I downloaded and
installed Java.  Then re-booted. Still won't recognize it.  So I
uninstalled OO and Java, downloaded latest Java, then downloaded OO and
re-booted.  Still doesn't recognize Java.
 
I could find no answers, at least none that I could understand. I'm not
a programer and answers which said to 'simply' change lines of code -
make no sense to me.
 
Any suggestions?  Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Probably the most convenient way for you to get the exact version/package
you need is to go to:
