Re: Merge with LibreOffice?
Hi all, From what I can tell, the 2 groups can (and are?) borrowing from each other. I prefer its free and open concept. However, seeing some other recent emails and some concerns of my own, I think we can make it easier for new developers by doing the following: 1.. Copying all source code into a zip file, to get all the code just copy that one file. 2.. Make a zip file containing descriptions of all source code. It also needs overview modules how certain modules work together. 3.. Make a zip file containing instructions how to do complies, put everything together, check out modules, etc. 4.. For Open Office Site, add module that lets people check out/in modules and tell others what they are working on. Of course, there has to be a companion transactions that allows people to see what is going on. There also needs some kind of security to keep people from trashing the site. If it were me, I’d break down the code into independent modules. For Writer, that may mean don’t load the math, table, picture (frame), etc. module until there is a need for it. Howard
Re: [PROPOSAL][API][WINDOWS]Whether Common Spelling API can be implemented
I tend to agree, but wish to add a few comments. I went to Source Forge and noticed there were a lot a spell checkers out there, including some that want to be an API/ There is no need to compete with them, but cooperation would be a good idea. If anyone wishes to, please look at them and see if any might be a good replacement to what we have. Being able to access the source code night also be a boon. The following should be part of out requirements: 1.. Able to adjust to multiple languages 2.. Able to add individual files for words the users want to add to the dictionary. My thinking if multiple people are using the same computer, each person should have their own override file (in user/AppData/Local/?). 3.. Give reasonable suggestions for misspelled words. This may include Keyboard recognition for typo errors. (Like a Russian Keyboard). Howard _ I have examined some of the materials available for the CSAPI. Here are my initial observations: 1. The CSAPI is closely-held by Microsoft. It is evidently not part of their Open Specifications set. 2. Apparently a license agreement is required in order to have the necessary materials and also learn of any maintenance/change to the API over time. 3. The implementation is via a DLL that can be registered on Microsoft Windows and thereby relied upon by Microsoft Office products that will use the CSAPI to access a spell-checker for a given language. CONCLUSION To provide implementations of such DLLs at Apache OpenOffice, these would require a development offered as open source under the Apache License. This would, by the way, probably impair the use of spelling lexicons that are provided under incompatible licenses and probably unwelcome at Microsoft. It seems to me that the closely-held nature of the CSAPI and requirement for license agreements is completely out of scope for Apache OpenOffice and not compatible with policies of the Apache Software Foundation. This is simply a road we cannot go down. I suggest that we not go any farther investigating this proposal unless those encumbrances disappear. - Dennis PS: A third party could engage with Microsoft and supply a CSAPI-accepting implementation. That might employ the same tools that AOO employs for processing supplied lexicons.

Re: First Problem is Spreadsheet
Hi, I am not sure, but please check the ranges used in that box for the spread sheet. You may have used sum(D2:Z2) and the data has extended beyond Z2. While I do not know of a maximum number of things that can be added, etc., You may also try sum of the first so many things and use that value as part of another sum. Howard Morris PS. It would be easier for us if you sent a copy of the spreadsheet and tell us which cell you are getting erroneous results.
errors in writer (formula)
Gang, I have been using the formula in writer lately. For ‘cdot’, a command to put a dot between two symbols to indicate multiplication, the dot is not showing up in the document. The other multiplication binary operator ‘times’ that puts an x between two symbols to indicate multiplication is working fine. I have used this before and think it is a new error Another minor problem, I am not sure if it is new, is for the plus (+) and minus (-) operators there appears to be a (half?) space after the operator, but nor space before the operator. Yes I can force the (half) space using the (`) or (~) character. Another words “1 + 2” should be the default, not “1+ 2”. Howard

I meant that you should rename (or delete) the user folder that contains the profile. This will trigger the creation of a new folder. OpenOffice has to be shut down to rename the folder. Regards, Francis -- Deleting the profile fixed the spell check problem (thank you). Did not fix Pi for me though. I use Word to convert file to PDF and it fixed that problem. For the product symbol, I wonder if it is taken from a Windows font that has changed with windows 10.

Re: Need help on bookmark writter
Sorry all, I have been out of town. From what I read on some of the requests, is that you want for different users to enter the document at different points. I am assuming you are converting the document to html. The way to do that is to give an ‘id’ to every entry point. So George Goble world use demo.html#George_Goble and Betty Grable would use demo.html#Betty_Grable, etc. I have my own javascript that can add a table of contents to an html document. I am also working on an upgrade of the Open Office outputting an html file which I can try putting in that code when I detect a table of contents in the original document. Howard Morris
Re: html code generated from Open Office
I’d like to thank everyone for their suggestions. I think I will try Dennis Hamilton’s suggestions first. I will continue my conversion approach for a while just to get a better understanding of what is going on. When I get into the Open Office code, I will also try to look at the copy paste from a browser screen problem. I have done it myself a number of times and have seen more problems than reported. Open Office has trouble when I input an html file I have written, not unexpected. I think JavaScript is especially worrisome, maybe we could convert them to macros. I expect CSS is also a problem. I can adapt to most any computer language, but I will avoid APL (it’s code uses a lot of the Greek alphabet). If I ever fix this task, there is a copy paste from Calc to Writer I’d like to address. Currently, the copy paste ends up as an image in Writer, I’d like to see it changed to a table. The functions (macro anyone?) would get lost, but they are lost anyway now. I also remember seeing emails about trouble with Open Office Math. From using it, it looks like LaTex code. Editing Open Office Writer in Word and saving it in .odt format, the LaTex code gets changed. It would be nice if we added an insert a “Greek letter” as a Math options panel. If anyone wants to redo it, I know how to write math expressions using native html. Basically I use an (inline) table to hold all the symbols. I do realize that currently Open Office cannot have a table in the middle of a paragraph. However, I think we can sneak in a construct. Howard
Re: html code generated from Open Office
Thank you again, Brief comment. I know about MathML. Last time I tried it I ran into a browser that didn’t support it. Hmm, let the user get a better browser, they are cheap enough. In this case no need for full Unicode %beta becomes beta; in html. My comment on Greek letters is that the prompts do not tell about Greek letters. I had to use Google to find out about %beta in open office. I suspect there are those who will not be able to figure it out. Howard

You can upload to a internal webserver and share it with the network. 2- can we make plugins for open office or amend anything in open office ? Yes AOO has an API that can be used with JAVA, Javascript, Python, and a Basic language. Look our wiki for more information about it. 3-similarly can we add any component of OPEN OFFICE ? Yes AOO has wizards with eclipse to generate compoennts, more info about this on our DevGuide. If these things are possible what should I be needed , Java ? and ?

Re: about vertical text direction
Here is something that will effectively do what you want. Insert a table; make one of the columns just one character wide; start typing or inserting special characters. You may do this for the next columns also in case one column is not enough. You can make the leftmost and rightmost columns larger to adjust centering, etc. You may also put more normal characters in the outer two columns. You can use borders to enclose whatever inside a box. Howard Hi all: I want to insert a text box which can show vertical text in writter. But It seems like that there is no options for vertical direction text in the combo box in frame’s setting dilaog, just likes the screen shot below. (this is a Libre Office's screenshot but I think that this is same to OpenOffice)
