> Hello Jean,
  I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble. It should not be necessary to
reinstall OpenOffice. The Quickstarter is a feature of OpenOffice that
starts automatically when you start your computer so that launching
OpenOffice will appear to happen more quickly. Since it is running,
OpenOffice is still on your computer. What leads you to think that
OpenOffice has disappeared?

You do not say what operating system you are using, so I will guess it is
Windows. If you have a Windows Start button (typically at the lower left of
your screen), click that and select All Programs. Scroll down the list that
appears until you see a folder called OpenOffice 4.1.2. Click on that and
then click on the component of OpenOffice you want to start.

I hope that helps. A better place to get user support than this mailing
list is the user forum. The English forum is at
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/index.php
Best regards,
Francis

Fwd: ApacheCon CFP

2015-12-01 Thread Kay Schenk
Spreading the word... :)

Given our recent discussions re (more) Java use in Apache
OpenOffice, it certainly would be great if someone would submit a
talk on how to incorporate Apache POI into Apache OpenOffice, or
other topics along this line.

See the ApacheCon page: http://www.apachecon.com/

for how to submit talks for the event.


 Forwarded Message 
Subject: ApacheCon CFP
Date: Wed, 25 Nov 2015 14:55:07 -0500
From: Rich Bowen 
Reply-To: d...@community.apache.org
To: dev 

As most of you have no doubt seen, the CFP is now open for ApacheCon
North America. The timeline for the CFP is as follows:

CFP Close: February 12, 2016
CFP Notifications: February 29, 2016
Schedule Announced: March 3, 2016

Thus, around February, I'm going to be looking for people who are
willing to be part of a content committee to help us select the
talks for this event. I will also be looking for help in the
following areas:

* Getting the word out about the CFP outside of the apache committers.
Spread the word to your company, your meetup groups, your fishing
buddies, and your chrorale. We want talks from more than the Usual
Suspects.

* Getting the word out about the event itself, so that people can
get on their manager's budget far enough in advance.

* People who know and love Vancouver to help tell the story about
all the extra-Apache reasons why people should come to ApacheCon.

* Keynote suggestions and personal contacts. (Yes, we'd like to have
Harrison Ford keynote, but unless you know him personally, or know
how we can get in touch, it's not a helpful suggestion.)

* And, of course, you need to get your talk submissions in so that
we can have a stellar lineup of talks.

Come hang out on #apachecon on irc.freenode.net if you want to make
suggestions, help out in any way, or just enjoy our company.

See you in Vancouver!

OK, it's been a few weeks now and I'd like to get back to this.
Are there any objections to using Java 8 instead of the combination
of Java 6 and 7 that we have now?

Hallo Herr Rauch,

ich schreibe Ihnen mal direkt, weil in der Liste Anhänge verloren gehen.

 * Können Sie die Screen Shots nochmal an mich senden?
 * Wo haben Sie das Programm heruntergeladen?

Ich hatte auch beim Download und Installation der letzten Version 
keinerlei Probleme.

installing open office

to open office

I have had open office for years and am very pleased with it ecept that 
occasionally it disappears off the laptop.  I have always reinstalled it 
till today when I just cannot get the instillation to work
I get so far when a message pops up ans tells me to turn off quickstart 
for 4.1.2 and I do not know what this is   I do not have any part of the 
open office on the laptop that works and till I sort this out I can 
access none of my files.

I cannot find any other way of contacting you.
I am like many others and have a limited knowledge of the workings of 
the computer so hope you can advise me.
