What do you want to see? There are quite a few different formats under the ODF standard (odt, ods, odg, ...) that can be used quite well with a number of different programs -- even the newer versions of Office (2007 SP2 and later) make an attempt at them, though not interoperably really with anybody else's ODF implementations, by their choice. That's what makes ODF a very open standard. If what you want is an odt file (the word processor's default output format), we can easily send you any number of them (or their corresponding PDF files), but if you have specific questions about whether particular features are supported you'd be better off asking about those directly. The documentation available in PDF format on the site is extensive, and those document were produced by Writer in odt format and then exported to PDF. If this doesn't address your question, I'm afraid you'll have to be more specific about exactly what you want to see. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

Approx size of the file in csv format is 70 to 80 MB and we save it in xlsx format. Please suggest/guide Thanks Kaushal Microsoft XL? - Are you talking about a version of MS Office? What version of Excel did you use for the testing? I thought that OOo Calc was supporting a million rows in version 3.3 and saving it with the default ODF file format. The one thing that you should realize is MSO and OOo do thing differently across the board. There are things that OOo seems to do faster than MSO and there are things that seem to do faster with MSO. MSO has thousands and thousands of paid workers to make MSO the best product in their eyes and their idea of what people want and need. OOo does not have the personnel or resources to compete in the programming aspect. But OOo's people who do program are doing their best with the resources at hand. Many of the MSO options are looked at by OOo programmers and then they need to figure out how to do it within OOo. I bet when the options you tested was developed by MSO, it took many years to get the coding to be as fast as you think it is. How long has OOo had those options? How many man hours did MSO spend on getting it working, and how many has OOo been able to dedicate to it. Remember, although there are some paid employees from Oracle [Sun before] that are working on the code base for OOo, I would suspect that there are 10, 20, 50 times as many unpaid volunteers working on making it better. I left MSO for OOo since MSO was becoming much slower than OOo at that time. Whatever versions are now out for MSO may be better at some things, but I still say OOo is overall the better choice. I do remember reading an article that states that if you are a high-end user of an office suite, then MSO might be a better choice. Their high-end user seemed to be less than 1/2% of most business users and even less of personal users of an office suite. Otherwise, the article stated, OOo most likely be a better choice for the user, business or personal. I believe that. I have MSO 2003 but have used it once in the past 6 months. Now that I have Ubuntu for all but one laptop, I use OOo only unless I must use MSO for something that only MSO does. Actually I cannot wait for 3.3 to get out of the RC stage. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

Re: [users] Openoffice not opening
My answer may not be timely, but, I just recently had this problem. I worked around it by: Open OOo and tell it to NOT recover the document.

Re: [users] Openoffice Calc
2010/2/2 Aaron Blair me_u...@hotmail.com: To Whom This Concerns, I am trying to figure out a way, if there is a way, to create a special graph for budgeting. I'm trying to make a pie graph that shows me how much I'm spending for each category that I make (i.e. entertainment, gas, grocery, ect.). The only thing I've been able to do is make a pie graph that shows me how much I've spent for each individual category. For instance, I would have three different places on the graph for food, instead of having one big slice of the graph for food. Just wondering if there was any way to do this, if it's even possible with Openoffice Calc. I don't do graphs very much, but I would try to calculate the sum of each individual category, maybe on a separate sheet (doesn't matter, it's more a matter of taste, kind of), maybe with some DSUM functions or something like that. Then I'd try to make a graph from those sums. If I couldn't get that to work, I would probably try the data pilot and make a graph from that. Or maybe I totally misunderstood your problem.

Re: [users] Openoffice Security Issue
Upon investigating this attachment, I have found that the entire sheet is protected, which is easily removed without any password. I cannot find any way to protect only a given range of cells with OOoCalc. There is no respect for the security added by MSO2k3 and no way to protect only a given range of cells, which this document clearly demonstrates an example of the use of such a feature. This is not the first time I have heard of this issue. I do believe there is an issue in the issue tracker open on this subject. Some have said that the issue does not exist, but I can see that it does. I have used OOo 3.1 RC2 for PPC-Mac, en-GB to do this testing.

Re: [users] Openoffice Security Issue
Thanks for the information Brian. I have tried the procedure you outlined using the document provided by Ahamed. Prior to being able to change any options such as cell protection, the entire sheet must be Unprotected. This requires no password at first. I'm still not sure if it should, as the document Ahamed provided is .xls and may or may not have a password. After removing the sheet protection, individual cells or ranges of cells may be protected or not. In the document provided by Ahamed it appears that all cells are marked protected. After following the procedure (two attempts were required to succeed) and reapplying the sheet protection, the desired operation is achieved; The first three columns are protected as if they were static data, and the remaining columns can be modified as if they were a working document. So the only question which remains for me, is if the program should ask for a password prior to unprotecting the sheet. As has been suggested by others addressing concerns such as this, it may be an issue with MSO2k3 not protecting the document properly in the first place. Is there any fix for this? It seems like a heavy concern for users of the software. Can someone who has access to MSO2k3 and other versions please test whether the password is stripped after the proprietary document format is opened and modified by OOo? This discussion should be moved to a pertinent issue.

I'm still not sure if it should, as the document Ahamed provided is .xls and may or may not have a password. I'm guessing that any such protection would be under the control of a password. And yes: in order for the protection to remain controlled by the password, it would be necessary for this protection removal to require the password. So the only question which remains for me, is if the program should ask for a password prior to unprotecting the sheet. As has been suggested by others addressing concerns such as this, it may be an issue with MSO2k3 not protecting the document properly in the first place. No: I've opened it in Excel 2003, and the relevant cells are password-protected as you would expect. And the password is required in order to remove the protection. Is there any fix for this? It seems like a heavy concern for users of the software. If you want to use this password protection, I think you need to stick with one product and its native format: either Excel and .xls or Calc and .ods. Can someone who has access to MSO2k3 and other versions please test whether the password is stripped after the proprietary document format is opened and modified by OOo? I've reset the password protection in Calc as you describe, resaved as .xls, and then opened the resulting file in Excel 2003. The result is the same as in the other direction: the protection is still in place, but it can be removed without providing any password. There are some details about this in the help text at Microsoft Office;importing password protected files.

Hello all; Thanks the feedback. Actually the permission has been set. But it doesn't work. I found that this problem also happened in MacOS. Pls see http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=89933 So I think the issue is related to Openoffice itself. The issue reported above is similar with my issue.

As I recall, this has been asked for many times before, but the developers don't seem to want to use their time developing something that is already available in already mature open source applications like Thunderbird and Seamonkey. Thus, whether you like it or not, to send an e-mail message from OOo, you will have to use one of the open source e-mail clients, configured to use Gmail as its default account. It's very easy to do, and has no downside except having to download and install the desired client. John

Henri, I can appreciate wishing to stick with the mail client of your choice, especially since that choice enhances, not infringes, upon the ability of others to also decide. As mentioned, you can launch FF directly into composing a message, /usr/bin/firefox 'https://mail.google.com/mail/h/?v=bpv=tlcs=b' That saves a step, but someone else will have to figure out the final step(s) in getting the attachment there automatically. Here is the thread I started for that on the GMail Help Forum: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/gmail/thread?tid=5f6bb4d9a668392ahl=en A work-around might be for thunderbird or alpine to shoot the attachment laden message into the drafts folder and then launch firefox. Henri Henri, What you're asking for is an e-mail client to be incorporated into OOo. As I recall, this has been asked for many times before, but the ... lol but the askers don't really understand that an e-mail client is just a front end to flat-file databases. Where the UI and the register site are independent. Really that used to be learned in school when 'comptuers' were taught. Anyway, the many times it was asked before got two answers[1]: 1. OOo supports just about any E-Mail client, it's the user's choice, 2. a solution would be to bundle Thunderbird [2] At least for OS X, Linux, Solaris or BSD users, it's a non-issue. / Keep in mind, a well designed system (including a desktop) is modular and components can and should be interchangeable. These days only one brand is not well designed, to make use of understatement. Also, sending or receiving attachments seem to be a symptom of missing infrastructure components. Not too long ago, nearly 100% of pc-using businesses had at least one pool of interconnected file servers. /Lars [1] Actually three, here's the third answer: 'Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail' [2] OpenOffice bundles Mozilla, And Firefox-style extensions added.

Re: [users] OpenOffice Basic - Converting Spreadsheet formulas into string
2009/9/18 Darren Forster darrenforste...@gmail.com: Is there anyway to convert the Cell.Formula value into a Cell.String value in OpenOffice Basic? I've thought maybe Cell.Formula.String would work but it doesn't. If you have Xray installed, you can see what options you have with an object. Don't set variables directly if there are methods for it. In this case there are methods like setBlahblahblah and getBlahblahblah(), so use them. To examine an object with Xray, try something like this: Option Explicit Sub Test Dim Sheet As Object, Cell As Object Sheet=ThisComponent.getSheets().getByName(Sheet1) Cell=Sheet.getCellByPosition(0,0) Xray Cell End Sub A dialogue opens and you can select what kind of information you want. Select Methods and click the Sort A-Z button. Now look for stuff that begins with get and set. Well, that was not an answer to your question, but I'm not sure I understand it… Let's say we have a cell and we want the formuia: Option Explicit Sub Test Dim Sheet As Object, Cell As Object Sheet=ThisComponent.getSheets().getByName(Sheet1) Cell=Sheet.getCellByPosition(0,0) Dim TheFormula As String TheFormula=Cell.getFormula() End Sub TheFormula now contains the cell formula of A1 which is a string. Let's say that A1 contains =B1+B2, and let's assume that B1=40 and B2=50. Are you saying that you now would like Cell.String to be 90 or perhaps B1+B2? I did some experimenting, and if you want the same effect as Paste Special → Text+Numbers, this should work: Option Explicit Sub Test Dim Sheet As Object, Cell As Object Sheet=ThisComponent.getSheets().getByName(Sheet1) Cell=Sheet.getCellByPosition(0,0) Cell.setFormula(Cell.getString()) End Sub Or maybe this is more what you are looking for: Sub Test Dim Sheet As Object, Cell As Object Sheet=ThisComponent.getSheets().getByName(Sheet1) Cell=Sheet.getCellByPosition(0,0) Cell.setString(Cell.getString()) End Sub In the example above, A1 will now contain '90. The ' is not displayed, but 90 will be aligned to the left.

Possibly because you installed the freeware Microsoft viewers for Microsoft Office document files (maybe even at my suggestion!). The Save As window you are seeing is from the viewer, I think, not from OpenOffice, and the viewer is offering to do some conversion to the document for you. When I installed the Powerpoint viewer, for example, (or possibly when I applied some update to it?), the .ppt extension became associated with Microsoft Open XML Converter instead of with Microsoft Office PowerPoint Viewer. If you have these viewers, you must be using Windows, I think. If so, right-click a sample file (of each relevant type) and select Open With | Choose Program... . Tick the Always use the selected program to open this kind of file box, and then choose the appropriate viewer (as I would) or the appropriate OpenOffice component (if you prefer). (These details are for Windows XP; other versions will be similar but perhaps different.) This proves especially annoying when trying to open email attachments. They must first be saved and then right clicked to be opened adding several more steps to what was a simple process. If you wanted to edit the file, you certainly would want to save the file somewhere safe first, so you must be talking here about wanting just to display and perhaps print a document; this is why I suggest associating the extension with the viewer, not with OpenOffice.

RE: [users] OpenOffice 3.1 not compatible with Windows 7?
To ALL: Why bother even getting Win 7, if Win 8 is following right behind? NOT only that but some one is working on a Open Source version of Windows which will be totally FREE! Please access the SeaMonkey support site and ask about that program, you may be pleasantly surprised! :-) Um, why bother getting the next three versions of Ubuntu or SuSE, since the version-after-that will be coming along just six months after (insert number of any previous version? Same argument. Windows is big. It's commercial. It needs to be developed, tested, and integrated with a lot of stuff that's: a) out there in the world b) coming (around the time of the new release, such as new hardware and drivers that are in other major companies' planning stages right now and will need instant, out-of-the-box compatibility. So it's completely unsurprising that multiple multi-year projects would be in various stages of conception, development, testing, release, and ongoing maintenance. My own employer... in fact my own small division of my employer... does exactly that for our various products. The release of a product/project is still in QA testing (before final release) while the next two releases are in the pipeline, and earlier releases are in maintenance or being readied for end-of-sales or end-of-life. I would be surprised to encounter a major company with a widely-used product line that did NOT do that kind of planning and scheduling.

RE: [users] OpenOffice 3.1 not compatible with Windows 7?
Either MS wanted confusion, or they just bugged the software to not know what is what when determining if the software would work. Hey, if MS does not certify the software, then it may not or will not run according to MS. If you do not pay me, we will not say it works. Windows Logo (or more lately Works-With-Windows) or the predecessor program WHQL were all efforts to ensure that a given hardware (and its drivers), and more recently a given software had been verified to work with a given version of Windows. No big deal. It's a selling point. It's like insurance. You probably don't really need it (Mr. Corporate Purchaser), but a relentless marketing campaign has ensured that you'll be given grief if something _does_ go wrong and it turns out you didn't buy the insurance. What?!? Our gimmelfripps servers are down and you _didn't_ buy certified software?? You're fired! :-) Our company often pursues Windows Logo (as we did with the previous WHQL), because some big corporate and institutional customers demanded it. (By the way, Windows users are only a portion of our customer base.) However, the testing and the cost (not just money, but the time of engineers and others) ensures that we don't bother to seek the certification for every release. We just tell our Windows-using customers Installing this release of Product-X will result in a warning message 'blah-blah-blah' from Windows. That is not a fault. Just click [Continue] to complete the installation. If your organization requires that you install only Windows Logo certified hardware and software, then you should remain with version yyy of Product-X until our next Windows-Logo-Certified release. Because we are a security-and-crypto products company (my division makes HSMs) we have the same arrangement with respect to FIPS 140-2 validation and with Common Criteria EAL, both of which require time and expense (FIPS, most of a year, and CC-EAL more than a year-and-a-half) just to work through the bureaucratic and testing hoops. So we often let two or three minor releases of a product go past before we submit a newer version for validation/certification. This means that many customers are using versions that we designed 4 years ago, developed 3+ years ago, released two-and-a-half years ago, and received validation certificate(s) a year ago. In that case, choosing to use only validated products means those customers are always living in the past. :-) One place where this can be a problem, in the security world, is if the industry discovers a vulnerability in a widely used component and that component must be updated or eliminated from products. The customers who _don't_ demand FIPS or CC-EAL validated products are able to update immediately and feel secure again, while those who are tied to the most recent validated version are stuck until the next time one of our releases emerges from the lengthy validation process. The same occasionally happens with WHQL or Windows Logo'd stuff. You can have the version with the vulnerability fixed, today, or you can wait several months while we jump through hoops to have the updated version certified. That's life. Hell, some people deliberately look for computers that say Intel Inside. Go figure. The answer, I think, is for open source / free software like OOo to anticipate the problem and have the installer explain to the customer that they are about to see a marketing-related message from Windows, and they can safely ignore it. In their place, I'd even write up a big explanatory web page and include a link within the installer so that customers can read some reassurance if they feel the need. - Kevin Cheers, The information contained in this electronic mail transmission may be privileged and confidential, and therefore, protected from disclosure.

Re: [users] OpenOffice 3.1 not compatible with Windows 7?
I don't buy this argument for a second. Uncountable collaborations are proceeding toward completion. All life is a collaboration. You are suggesting that the Australian rudder for the Boeing 777 proceeded independently to final design and manufacture while the American tail assembly was designed and manufactured. The difference between the 777 and your next Windows OS is that 777.0.0.0 had to land. What did you say was the name of your employer?

Same argument. Windows is big. It's commercial. It needs to be developed, tested, and integrated with a lot of stuff that's: a) out there in the world b) coming (around the time of the new release, such as new hardware and drivers that are in other major companies' planning stages right now and will need instant, out-of-the-box compatibility.

My own employer... in fact my own small division of my employer... does exactly that for our various products. The release of a product/project is still in QA testing (before final release) while the next two releases are in the pipeline, and earlier releases are in maintenance or being readied for end-of-sales or end-of-life. I would be surprised to encounter a major company with a widely-used product line that did NOT do that kind of planning and scheduling.

This thread is just playing its small part in maintaining the very low signal to noise ratio of this list.
