Re: [users] Re: view with grid?
Just want to say thanks very much for all the good help. I've found that I can in fact use the vertical ruler to find the horizontal center if I set the margins to 0 (otherwise, the ruler takes the margins into account, so that it shows the center of the print range rather than the center of the paper.) Several good suggestions here, and they are all helpful.

Thanks! Did you go to the menu -- Format -- Page. When the Page Style: Default window opens, go to Columns Index and change Columns to 2. Then broaden the Spacing as far as you feel necessary to get the center wide enough. You can probably save this as a template for later use. When you draw a line across the middle to mark the center fold, you can select the line and it will show middle-to-top and middle-to-bottom page rulers on the side. This will help to center the line more exactly. Another way to find the exact center would be to draw two lines _diagonally _across the page and where they cross will be the exact center and then you can move the horizontal line to the intersection of those two lines. Hope this helps! Good luck! Tom Hi Helen, You can also go to Tools-Options-Writer-View and turn on horizontal and vertical rulers. There is also a Grid option, but I'm not sure how helpful that would be - seems to depend on fixed spacing. I'm using OOo3.2 on ubuntu, but I believe these options have been present for a long time.

[users] on mac only prints entire doc
Hello, When using OpenOffice Writer on the MAC, I am unable to print a single page or page range. Clicking on the Printer icon in the toolbar automatically prints all 113 pages. Same thing when I chose File-Print - it automatically prints the entire doc and no window pops up that lets me select the range. As opposed to, on my PC laptop, when I click Contro P, I get a box that allows me to chose. Is this fixable? Or is this a MAC problem? Thank you. ND

[users] OpenOffice-3.2.1 on Solaris 10 with XVR-100
Hi, I'm trying to install OpenOffice 3.2.1 on Solaris 10 for SunBlade 1500 or SunBlade 45. It works fine on some machines but on other, icons are displayed 3 or 4 centimeters on the left of the menu itself. I have identified that those machines had an XVR-100 graphic card but Sun hotline (now Oracle) does not support OpenOffice software ! Does somebody know about this problem ?

{Saskia (saskiacohentan...@gmail.com) is not subscribed and probably will not see messages unless

Saskia, OpenOffice.org is not really designed to open either of those formats. PDF files can be
opened in the Draw application, I think, but basically as drawings; you need a reader (there are
several free ones, including one from Adobe), or you can try one of the utilities that attempts to
make them editable. Sorry, I can't recommend any as particularly good, though maybe somebody else
here can help.
MHTLM appears to be some sort of message attachment format that is not generally supported. Your
best bet is probably to have whoever is sending you these attachments use a different format
instead. If you meant MHTML, a web page browser format that collects various external components
together, again this is not a supported format for OOo: Internet Explorer should probably be able to
handle it, though.
What OOo primarily deals with is text documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and drawings, all in a
large number of formats.

Do you get any error messages? If so, what? What file types are you having problems with -- .doc, .xls, .odt, .ods, or what? If they are files that you have previously been able to open with OOo, and you are using Windows, one possibility is that there is a leftover soffice.bin process that makes Windows think the program is already running when it is not. In that case, the files would just silently not open. If this is the problem, you can use the Task Manager to end any process of that name (which will also end any associated soffice.exe processes). The files should then open normally. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
