Re: [users] Using Read Please with OOo
Hi Andrew, I can't find much helpful information on the web site, so I don't know how / under which circumstances it would get text from any application. But it offers reading the clipboard, so at least that also should work when copying text from OOo into clipboard. Malte. Andrew Douglas Pitonyak wrote, On 10/23/10 06:40: ReadPlease is used by people with vision problems. http://www.readplease.com/ A user mentioned that they installed this and it initially worked fine, but, after a restart, they are uncertain how to trigger it in OOo version 3.1 on Windows XP. I use Linux, not Windows, so I am not able to install and test. Any windows users familiar with this product? My guess is that it does not integrate with OOo and it is simply a question on how to trigger the product from OOo. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

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.
For editing PDF files I use Foxit PDF Editor (version 2.0 build 111). It can
open any PDF file and you can edit its content, even add graphics etc. You
can get it from Foxit Software (it is for Windows so if you are using MAC or
Linux then you need to find something else for PDF management.
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.
MHTLM is a Microsoft special format of HTML when saved form IE (it contains
all the information you see from a web-page in a single file, but you need
IE to get it functioning properly, you may be able to see the text in other
browsers too, but that is not always the case.
What OOo primarily deals with is text documents, spreadsheets,
presentations, and drawings, all in a large number of formats.

OpenOffice.org can work very well with MS Office documents, as well as ODF. However, there may be some issues, if you're doing more advanced stuff. You know, I haven't installed Micro$oft Office on a machine I own or work on since 1994 when I found StarOffice originally created by a 16 year old German kid. I've used it ever since. Under OS/2, Windoze, and LInux, then migrated to OpenOffice as it evolved. NO ONE KNOWS. They all think I' have office. I only had a brief issue when office '07 came out with that abysmal .???x file format until someone created an extension and a conversion program that allowed me to handle them. I'm the go to guy to get things done with word processing and spreadsheets, and everyone asks why they can't do what I can.

Thanking you kindly. willem kolver Trauma Society of SA Cape Town RSA First you do not require Windows to use OOo. Second, OOo is not a 100% replacement for Office, XP or other wise. If you really want to get away from Microsoft, you will need to find a replacement Operating system. You will need some basic understanding of how computers work and the functions of operating systems. To learn more try finding a local computer group to help get you started. If that does not work do a search in your favorite search engine for computer operating systems , and be ready to learn a lot in a short time.

Second, which version of OOo did you download? If you don't know this, can you give us the website, where you've downloaded the software? Third, as far as I know, if you have both a recent version of OOo and of OS X, then you don't need to install X11, since OOo can run natively on OS X. Thanks in advance for your help.

Great! As long as you are willing to learn new things, you're not old! (at least in my opinion). Btw, my parents (both 72 years old) learned in the last two or three years to use a computer. ;) Do I need Windows XP (which I presently use with Offixe XP) to operate OO? You don't need Windows XP to operate OOo. But you do need some kind of operating system for your computer. If you're willing to try something new, I would suggest, that you try Mandriva Linux or Ubuntu Linux, which are both very easy to install and use. If you are unsure, you can install Linux in parallel to your Windows installation. So when you start your computer, you can choose which system to start. Is OO just a alternative to MS Office? Yes, OpenOffice.org is a free alternative to MS Office.

Most people use Thunderbird for their email and contacts, coupled with an add-in which handles the diary function of Outlook. I second Sigrid's suggestion that you try a linux installation. I have for many years used Ubuntu, which is at least as easy to install as Windows.
