We're using OpenOffice 3.2.0 on Ubuntu 10.04. One of my co-workers regularly uses Excel's (2003, if I remember correctly) Autofilter feature, and she has a different experience with OpenOffice's Autofilter. Here are the steps taken in Excel: * Select a row * We go to: Data - Filter - Auto Filter * Dropdown boxes appear for every column * We select an item from the dropdown box; this lists only the items that have been filtered, and it gives her the chance to make a subtotal in one of the empty row below the filter results. Here are the steps taken in OpenOffice: * Select a row * We go to: Data - Filter - Auto Filter, it informs and asks us that The range does not contain column headers. Do you want the first line to be a column header? We select Yes from the dialog box. * Dropdown boxes appear for every column * We make a selection from a dropdown box; this lists the filtered items and other information. She doesn't get the chance to make a subtotal in an empty row below the filter results. Can you help us approach the situation? Should we be doing things differently? What is a column header and would assigning this help us? Thanks, Andy ”…it gives her the chance to make a subtotal…” Since I don't have Excel I would probably need to know exactly HOW this happens, to be able to answer the question. Is she asked in a dialogue box or what?

I have transferred documents created in Open Office to my new computer.

[users] Re: Need help on licensing!
But Company A is required to make the source of OOo AND the source of any derived application available, not only to Company B, but to everyone. At least, I believe that was the case the last time I read such licences... admitedly some years ago. That requirement needn't stop anybody who wants to make money by developing an existing open-source software (like OpenOffice) to serve a niche need - after all, Company B is obviously not interested in doing their own development work. However, the requirement to share the source of derived works does allow other people to see your work and either improve it or take it and just repackage, thus allowing them to compete with you, using your own work. Basically, in FLOSS environment, you can't have secret sauce proprietary code unless you make it stand-alone, self-contained, not based on the open-source code. Aside from shareware, the common way to make money with open-source applications is to pretty-much give the product away, and charge for service/support/integration instead. - k -Original Message- From: Dan Lewis [mailto:elderdanle...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2011 2:00 PM To: users@openoffice.org Subject: [users] Re: Need help on licensing!

When you click on I want to download Openoffice.org, an inline rectangle appears. Click Download now. First you need to check the size of each one of these.

The second one you listed probably fits into this category. If the size is correct, the first one is likely the correct one. 3.3.0 is the current stable version. 3.1.3 and 3.2.3 would be earlier version (if they every existed). 3.3.3 does not exist, and 3.4.0 is not scheduled for release until the end of the year to early next year.

[users] Changing email address
I apologize for sending this message here to everyone, but I've been trying for several days, and can't figure out any other way to do this. I'm changing email addresses and have tried to subscribe with the new email address at http://www.openoffice.org/mail_list.html, but nothing happens. So, I requested and received the user guide from sympa [sy...@openoffice.org]. I've tried several commands, but I'm obviously not doing it correctly, because they all fail. I think I should use SUBscribe list name in the subject? However, I don't know what the correct list and name would be. I'd like to receive the digest form. What I receive now comes from users-requ...@openoffice.org. Can someone please tell me how to subscribe to the digest version with my new address? Thank you very much.

The old mail list software had its issues (as does the new one) and I think doing random things was one of them (although I agree this should not be the case). I can re-subscribe you if you wish. I'm wondering... perhaps it is because I've always used nntp/gmane.org instead of actually subscribing via email. If that is the case, then all previous users that have done the same problem. Can you check to see if this might be the case if so get them to resolve? I really don't want to the use email option unless there is a 'no-mail' setting. Agree ... I think these 'non-email' subscriptions were not carefully thought through in the migration. There is a 'no-mail' option in Sympa using the following command (once subscribed): SET list|* NOMAIL * To suspend the message reception for list 2) how does one determine if someone is subscribed or not? Delivered-To: moderator for users@openoffice.org seems to have gone missing. When we changed to Sympa I also noticed that the header denoting moderated posts was no long present. I think that it is just not a feature of the software. I'll raise a question to the application owners and will forward their response when its received. /paul I noticed that a post with a [moderated] subject tag came through on March 4 from Maurice Mercier. If all unsubscribed posts do this then problem solved. How did that one get set? This tag is not consistently applied. /paul -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: sy...@openoffice.org with Subject: help

The delay is probably due to your address not being subscribed to the ' users@openoffice.org' list. Email software, Sympa, sends an email to moderators to pass/fail each unsubscribed email address post. Once approved, email is distributed to subscribers ( gmane). Don't bother ranting on about why you may or may not be subscribed - I can't answer that. I can assist with re-subscribing.

NoOp is posting through gmane. See header X-Injected-Via-Gmane: http://gmane.org/; I also post through gmane. There are long delays before my posts make it to the list and I get an email stating Your message for list users has been forwarded to editor(s). It seems the list is no longer accepted posts from gmane. I am subscribed to gmane.comp.openoffice.questions, not to users@openoffice.org. Which I'm tending to agree is the common thread here and seems to be the problem. When sent from gmane, your actual address is passed through which the email list doesn't recognise... As per recent posts to this list, you can follow the 'subscribe' then 'no mail' option to avoid this. At this point this solution is only a suggestion till someone tries it and confirms that it works as advertised. /paul -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: sy...@openoffice.org with Subject: help

At 23:49 09/03/2011 -0500, Robert Jackson wrote: I enjoyed the OO Calc Year auto-input feature, whereby Mar 9 [ENTER] becomes Mar 9, 2011 (assumes the current year). However, after upgrading to OO 3.2.1, this feature no longer works, and Mar 9 [ENTER] now becomes Mar 1, 2009. In general, mmm dd translates to 01-mmm-dd in the DDMMYY form. So the Month is retained, but the day as entered is translated to the last 2 digits of the YY and the DD becomes 01. I am using Win XP Professional Ver 5.1 SP3. Do Windows Regional and Language Options play any part in this? Very probably. In addition, there are OpenOffice's own locale settings at Tools | Options... | Language Settings | Languages. Try 9 Mar instead of Mar 9: that works for me (3.1.1 under Windows XP with UK settings). Also try 9/3 or 3/9 as appropriate - according to your locale. I trust this helps.
