Ewald,

this is not a bug, it is designed that way.
Probably if you had MS Office installed after OpenOffice it would most probably 
be exactly the other way round. (Opening .odt files with MS Word.)

Have a look at this page 
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74=12918 (scroll all 
the way down} to see a simple way to change the default app on Windows 10 ( 
From OO to MS or the other way round.)
You cab specify there exactly which file you want to open with what application

Bug/problem using OpenOffice and Microsoft Office together

2021-02-12 Thread ewald.janker
Hello,

 

I have installed OpenOffice together with Microsoft Office 2019 both with
newest versions. I’m working with Windows 10 Home 64-Bit newest Version.

If I use Windows menus in order to call a new Word document, I cannot find
an entry for Microsoft Word:

 

Desktop:  



 

Explorer:

  

 

 

I show, what will happen, when I select in the menu Microsoft Excel-… for an
example. And I want to have exact this with Word:  a new Microsoft Word
entry in the folder.

But I cannot do this because there is no Word selection. 



 

I searched in OpenOffice FAQs, but didn’t find something.

 

I searched in internet and finally found something: OpenOffice installation
changes a registry entry reserved for .docx (“OpenOffice.docx”):



 

Normally (if no OpenOffice installed) this entry contains “Word.Document.12”
as I can see in my notebook with Windows 10 Home 64-Bit and Microsoft Office
2010). 



 

Changing “OpenOffice.docx” to “Word.Documenr.12” solved the problem!

 



 

 

 

 

Because I do not want to change this registry entry always after installing
a new version of OpenOffice, please 

eliminate this bug in OpenOffice!!!

 

Best regards

Hi Ewald,

select a docx document in WindowsExplorer (single click in the document 
name) and select "Open With..." (öffnen mit...) via context menue (right 
mouse button click) and select MS Word to open this document with it. 
Wihin this dialog there is a checkbox where you can select to always 
open documents with this file extention with whatever application you 
select.


When you installed OpenOffice within the setup program you selected to 
open MS Office documents wit OpenOffice

Hello,

According to Wikipedia Microsoft Office supports the ODF standard 1.2 
since 2013.


My cooperate Microsoft Word Version (which is 365) supports the Foirmat 
using Apache POI.


The Microsoft user needs to select Save as and then select the ODF 
Document Format (which would be odt in word)


I think this is currently the best way to exchange files between 
Microsoft Word and OpenOffice.

Sorry to answer myself. I found the last version seemed to be version 3.2
A copy is available online at German magazine chip.de at this URL:
https://www.chip.de/downloads/Sun-ODF-Plug-in-fuer-Microsoft-Office_24293087.html
Scroll down to "manuelle installation" below the large blue download
button (do not use that, that´s a chip.de active installer). On the
following page after clicking on "manuelle installation" click on the
large blue button "Download server ChipOnline"

You will get this file: odp-3.2-bin-windows-en-US.exe
File size: 98.621.012
SHA1SUM: a83f6ac435a6d3bd1d74a02a4bc2c088842f4b5f

Direct-download URL was:

(might or might not work if used directly)

Hope this helps someone. I will install and test it later. The
question remains if this was ever open sourced or anyone at ORCL
reading this thinks they might help achieve that.

 Hi Margaret,

Yes, it sounds like the file association is set to Microsoft Office. They

You need to open a folder where one of the files is located.

Right click > Hover over open with > Select Open With > Choose another app

Click on *More options*

Once you've done that you can look to see if the OpenOffice program is
showing and select it.

Make sure to tick *Always use this app to open xxx files* then click ok.

If it's not showing there, you'll need to click on *Look for another app on
this PC*

If you don't find it in: C:\Program Files

Most likely it'll be in: C:\Program Files (x86)

You'll be looking for OpenOffice 4 _x depending on the version you're using.

Open that folder and then the program folder.

You'll be selecting the corresponding OpenOffice.exe for the file types

Word = swriter.exe

Excel = scalc.exe

Hope this helps.

Hi Margaret,

I'm not familiar with Open Office, or other documents, being converted
without authorization to Microsoft Word format.

So I have a question. To open a document do you find the file then
double-click it with your mouse and it opens in Word?

If that's what you do and what happens then the problem is likely something
called a "file association".

If Word has been recently installed, reinstalled, or the the repair feature
has been applied to the Microsoft Office installation then the file
associations could have changed. Some Windows updates also change (set to
Microsoft's preferences) file associations.

To change the file association so your Open Office documents open in Write,
Calc, etc...
1. Find one of your files
2. Right-click the file
3. Select the Properties item on the menu (it should be at or near the
bottom)
4. In the dialog box that opens look for the "Opens with:" entry (it should
be near the top)
5. To the right of "Opens with:" there is a button "Change...", click this
button
6. Now you'll get a screen asking how you want to open the file, click the
program you want to use
7. Then click the OK button, the list closes
8. Next click the OK button

You're done. If file associations were the problem, they have just been
changed to open files with the program you want them to open in.

Re: Running OpenOffice and Microsoft Office at the Same Time: Issue

2019-08-31 Thread Andrew Pitonyak
Far from home without a computer, but, my guess is that this is related to file 
extensions, my guess is that when you double-click on a file it opens in open 
office as opposed to Microsoft office because open office is the last thing 
that you installed.

If you do not receive a response on how to do that in Windows, try Google. I 
don't know how to do any of that because I don't use Windows really, I'm a 
Linux guy, but I understand the problem.

Hope it helps at least a little.

No, it’s a setting in your Operating System.
Just right click on the xlxs file and choose Open With then select the 
application yo like and it opens a you prefer.
You also can tick the option to do this always in the future.

Of course you could also help to complete the translation of OpenOffice
to Ukrainian (UI is at 85%):
https://translate.apache.org/uk/aoo40/

Then we could release it with 4.2.0.

If you wants to test it out:

What are "development partners"?

 or their support service located on the territory of

Both Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice are not provided by companies and 
have no "location" of their support. But there exist companies, which 
provide support for them.


If you want to provide support for LibreOffice yourself, you should 
write on their developer mailing list or use their developer IRC channel

"official", you can consider the become a certified professional for

2019-07-24 Thread Maks Sosna
Hi, my name is Maxim, I am a representative of one of the trading companies
that supply computer equipment to schools.
But unfortunately in our law it is indicated that schools should buy
packages of official applications, the developers of which are either
development partners or their support service located on the territory of
our country. Such, to my great regret, is only Microsoft. The fact that the
funding of our schools leaves much to be desired, in particular because of
the high cost of Microsoft office suites, and the modest budget funds
allocated for the purchase, our children are forced to use terrible
computers, which are absolutely not possible because they are usually
installed there. Cheapest parts.
The average price of Microsoft office for schools is $ 60-70, but this
money could be spent on new parts.
Your office suite is much better, but you do not have Ukrainian language
support on the territory of our country. I suggest you consider our company
as a partner. In the partnership agreement, we will indicate that we are
obliged to provide customer support services.
and are willing to pay affiliate bonuses of $ 1 from each installed
package. Because our grandfathers deserve normal conditions for learning.
Do you know why the law states that there should be support in Ukraine?
Because this is corruption, only Microsoft has the support for which they
pay our authorities, stripping people to the last, and we want to stop it.

What do I do?



RE: Open Office and Microsoft Office data input

2017-03-01 Thread Maye, Darryl M.
In my reply to Brian Barker just a few mintues ago:

Good afternoon,

Had I known that the data would not be accessible from both platforms I would 
not have destroyed the receipts.

Although it shouldn't happen, that data doesn't appear in both platforms, I am 
afraid it appears to happened to me. As I only have ONE file to save to, 
somehow my saving to an incorrect file doesn't happen. Why would I hide data I 
need? Not to mention that I have no idea of HOW to hide data.

I save the data in the open document formant so that it would be compatible 
with both Excel and Open Office.

I use a flash drive to hold the data. I am not using any cloud services to 
store any of my data.

I do find it interesting you make specific note that is something I am doing 
wrong versus perhaps something the program is doing. But be that as it may, I 
guess we are all free to make judgment calls.

Your help will be appreciated.

I than saw that you have also responded to me Julian so I just copied my 
answers for your review. Hope it helps you to help me resolve this issue.

Thank you

You shouldn't have this problem if you use a dependable cloud file sharing

Good afternoon,

have Open Office to use. At work I have Microsoft Office. I input data using 
both. My problem seems to be that data put in with one program will not always 
show up when using the other program. For instance if I input data using Open 
Office into a spreadsheet at home, when I than open that same spreadsheet in 
Microsoft Office at work, it appears that the previous work put in using Open 
Office isn't there. And the same will in reverse ( data input with Microsoft 
Office may not show in Open Office though it is more likely to show that Open 
Office will shoe in Microsoft Office) Since I am inputting data off of receipts 
to track finances, if data is missing that I can not retrieve it as the 
receipts are often no longer available. What can I do to get the same data to 
show in both programs all the time>

OO can access .doc and .xls files from MS Office 2003, although there may be 
slight formatting differences. 
 For MS Works one needs to convert the files to OpenOffice readable formats 
(best are .odt for documents and .ods for spreadsheets).  This can be done 
using www.zamzar.com's online and free conversion service.

application for your documents.  You can avoid this by doing a custom
install and  ensuring it is not default.  However, should it happen,
it's not a problem to change the default app at any time.

Opens OK for me on OO 4.1.1. If A4 page is used it needs to have about 0.5 cm

Re: [libreoffice-users] 10 ways to help users move from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice - TechRepublic

2014-10-22 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
The article is excellent and it's good to see :))

I think there was a misleading bit about the newer MS Office formats
working just fine in LibreOffice/OpenOffice as they do quite often run into
problems.

However, i am not sure it's a good thing to note down in an article.  It's
difficult to avoid ranting about vendor lock-in as well as the appearance
of insanities, conspiracies and corruption of the ISO committees and the
way big organisations have apparently been quite happy with MS's failure to
implement their own format.


So i think it's important to use the older MS formats if anyone who needs
to edit a document has got to use MS Office.

MS Office users seem to find it very difficult to use Save As and seem to
get hopelessly confused and changing the default really needs an IT
boffin.  Personally i think MS Office is designed to make it all difficult
to understand.  In LibreOffice and OpenOffice it's all quite a lot easier,
of course.

I'm just not sure if it's a good thing to put into an article because it
makes it all look tooo complicated.  Also people tend to learn all that
quite quickly if they ever do give LibreOffice a fair go so maybe just
getting it onto their system is ore important.  At the very least they are
then able to open all the various formats quite easily and in a program
that is designed to do so properly.  ie MS Office for documents in OOXML
(for at least 1 of the various transitional versions) and LibreOffice for
everything else.

Regards from
Tom :)

There is no such thing as open office 2013 student and professional 2010; if 
you are being offered these, be aware that they are unauthorised versions of 
OpenOffice and may contain unwanted add-ons such as obtrusive search bars and 
perhaps Trojans or other malware.

We only recommend to download from 
www.openoffice.org/download
which will redirect to SourceForge servers where the files are stored,

In terms of compatibility: OpenOffice can save to and open reasonable 
successfully the older MS Office formats (.doc, .xls, .ppt); depending on the 
complexity of the incoming files it may or may not open the newer MS Office 
formats (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx). If the target usage is an MS Office environment, 
then it may be best to consider acquiring MS Office for daily use. For private 
use I have used OpenOffice successfully for seven or eight years, writing long 
texts and giving a considerable number of illustrated presentations.

First of all you should reply the sender and tell him that he send an 
email in a format that can't be read by you. It's an education process.

here is the question, you're welcome to pass it around as much as you

what is the ACTUAL, current status of Microsoft Office compliance with

I assume that he should have said something like:

I am running windows, and when I double click on a DOC file, it opens 
in AOO rather than MS Word.


Is this correct? (just trying to figure out what you mean, as is Regina).

would not open the document.

When you try to start AOO just in the moment, when it is already 
starting, then two processes exist and no document will open. This 
problem is more likely, when the quickstarter is enabled.


Therefore please try this:

Have a look whether the quickstarter is running. It might be hidden 
behind the triangle in the Windows task bar. If yes, set it to not start 
automatically and stop it then.


Close AOO totally, if it is open.

Please have a look with the Windows task manager, whether there is still 
a process soffice.bin. If yes, kill all soffice.bin processes.


Restart your PC. First start AOO and then from the file menu try to open 
the .doc file. Do not use double-click, so we can first examine one, 
clear work-flow.


Kind regards
Regina
