Re: Allocation Errors

[Dave Fisher]

When making a report about errors we need more information in order to help you.

1. What OS are you on and what version? For example, Windows 10 or macOS Sonoma.
2. Which version of Apache OpenOffice are you using? Is it the latest 4.1.15?
3. Are you using Writer?
4. What type of graphic are you including? Is it a PNG, JPEG, SVG, or what?
5. Are the graphic file large in how much space they take in storage?

This information will help guide answers and help identify the bug you are 
encountering.

Best,
Dave

I have a home office, no administrator.  How am I to proceed.  I joined

I have Windows 10, have used openoffice for years,  but now it crashes a

Hi Frank,

It does not make any difference if you are creating a normal document or
a template, the procedure is exactly the same until you reach the point
of saving the file as either a document or a template.

Your main problem is that you are using frames to hold the email address
and phone number and the frames are anchored in such a way that the main
body text cannot flow around them. Rather than try to teach you about
frame anchoring and layout in an email, I will restructure your document
to resolve your issue and send the restructured copy to you shortly.

I would recommend you spend a little time reading the relevant sections
of our "Getting Started" user guide:
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/AOO4_User_Guides/AOO4.1_User_Guide_Chapters

Dave

What error messages do you sere when you try to edit/update the sheet?

Note, the "Record Changes" option has no impact on a read only file.

Try finding the file with your OS (operating system's) file manager (eg.
Windows Explorer) and if the file is set read only by the OS,
untick/uncheck that setting in the file manager's properties option.

An alternative workaround would be to select the entire contents of the
original worksheet and paste into a new empty worksheet, then save the
copy under a slightly different name. If the new copy of the worksheet
is working as required you can delete the original

ODF (OpenDocument Format ISO/IEC 26300:2006 standard
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ODF)password protected files are almost
impossible to open unless you have the correct password.

While it will not resolve your current issue, for the future you might
consider a good secure password manager to generate and store strong
passwords for you.
My recommendation would be the free open source Bitwarden password
manager: https://bitwarden.com/

Hi Marie,

Please explain what you mean by "all of my documents were gone - nothing

Where is there? A bit more information would be helpful in identifying
your issue, like your OS (Operating System - eg. Linux, Mac, Solaris,
Windows, etc.) and the version of Apache OpenOffice you are using.

Begin with providing us the steps you take to open your documents.
If you are running a version of Widows, has there been a Windows update
recently?

Close Apache OpenOffice, open your file manager and browse for the
folder where your file is stored. In that same folder check for a file
that looks like .~lock..xxx# where .xxx is the same as the name
of your file eg. a filename test.odt would have a "lock" file  named
.~lock.test.odt# Delete that lock file, then open your file again and
the file should no longer be locked.

Re: [AOO-Templates]

[Dave]

Hi Cannie,

Unfortunately there is no single definitive answer to your question,
because every template can be offered with different licence conditions.
In *MOST* cases templates are offered with licence conditions which do
NOT restrict their use for commercial purposes

The only way to accurately know under which licence the template has
been released, is to visit https://templates.openoffice.org/en find the
page for the template  you are interested in using and read the
"License" information shown there. In some cases the information may be
shown in the form of an acronym (eg. BSD) you can click on the acronym
to view the specific detail of the license

Please address any reply to users@openoffice.apache.org not to me

Hi Iain,

What you have actually done is not to have updated your installed

4.1.12) the "Find" toolbar is visible. However, if the "Find" toolbar is
turned (toggled) off with the menu "View -> Toolbars -> Find" option, it
cannot be turned (toggled) back on with the same menu option, unless AOO
is restarted. Repeated on 3 Win 10 Pro machines.

Is this a known bug? If not< is anyone else experiencing this?

Re: The AOO forums have not worked for several days.

[Dave Fisher]

Hi -

I’ve been working on the issue today without success. I’m taking some time away 
from work to focus on completion of this migration.

It looks like some type of DOS issue. We’ve been slowly building a new box for 
quite some time.

Please stay tuned for progress tomorrow. I will ask for volunteers to test on a 
new url. Once functionality is confirmed we will complete the data transfer.

Anyone who has time, phpBB/httpd/PHP coding experience, and linux sysadmin 
knowledge is very welcome to volunteer to help going forward. If you want to 
volunteer send an email to sysad...@openoffice.apache.org

Regards,
Dave

You need to add a break between pages of different styles.
* Place the cursor at the point in your document where you want the page
styles to change.
* From the main menu select "Insert -> Manual Break".
* The "Insert Break" dialog opens.
* If not already selected, select the "Page Break" option.
* Click the "Style" drop-down list and select the required page style.
Click the "Help" button in that dialog for more information.

Hope that helps.

Dependent upon what kind of color detail you are seeking, this feature
already exists. If the font color of a cell has already been set, by
simply clicking on a cell the font color is shown as a colored bar below
the upper case A (font color) icon on the default Calc formatting toolbar.

If you are looking for something like RGB values or color names to be
displayed, you should file a RFE (Request For Enhancement) bug report.

It is not affected by that vulnerability.

Hi -

The Apache OpenOffice security team has looked into the two Log4Shell 
vulnerabilities. We are not impacted by them as we don’t use Apache Log4J 2.

We don't know if any third party extensions are impacted. You would need to 
contact those parties if you are concerned.

Oracle donated OpenOffice.org to the Apache Software Foundation over ten years 
ago. As far as I know no one in the community is paid for their support of 
Apache OpenOffice, we are completely volunteer.

Anyone member is welcome to produce a Solaris version of Apache OpenOffice. We 
had a member of our community who did so early on, but does no longer.

About Porting: https://www.openoffice.org/porting/index.html

Out of date information about Solaris: 
https://www.openoffice.org/tools/dev_docs/build_solaris.html and 
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide

The Apache License v2 (AL2) is compatible with BSD. Unfortunately, LibreOffice 
has chosen a license which is not compatible with Apache Release Policy. That’s 
their choice.

We prefer to remain stable and have taken a different approach to versioning. 
We are on our 12th version of 4.1 which is 4.1.11. We are also working on a 4.2 
line which is only available as a developer testing build.

We provide both DEB and RPM installs for Linux systems.

We will be providing AL2 licensed product only as we are a project of The 
Apache Software Foundation - https://www.apache.org

See this blog post for an excellent description of the Foundation’s mission. 
https://blogs.apache.org/foundation/entry/the-apache-way-to-sustainable

We would welcome and support anyone who wants to resurrect and support an Open 
Indiana/Open Solaris build. We are all volunteers who are working where they 
please.

If you’d like to join the developer list and discuss how OpenOffice could fit 
your plans please join d...@openoffice.apache.org by sending an email to 
dev-subscr...@openoffice.apache.org

We are non-political regarding platform politics so you should leave your rants 
behind.

CVE-2021-28129: DEB packaging for Apache OpenOffice 4.1.8 installed with a non-root userid and groupid

[Dave Fisher]

Severity: low

Description:

While working on Apache OpenOffice 4.1.8 a developer discovered that the DEB 
package did not install using root, but instead used a userid and groupid of 
500. This both caused issues with desktop integration and could allow a crafted 
attack on files owned by that user or group if they exist.

Users who installed the Apache OpenOffice 4.1.8 DEB packaging should upgrade to 
the latest version of Apache OpenOffice.

CVE-2021-33035: Apache OpenOffice: Buffer overflow from a crafted DBF file

[Dave Fisher]

Severity: high

Description:

Apache OpenOffice opens dBase/DBF documents and shows the contents as 
spreadsheets.  DBF are database files with data organized in fields.  When 
reading DBF data the size of certain fields is not checked: the data is just 
copied into local variables. A carefully crafted document could overflow the 
allocated space, leading to the execution of arbitrary code by altering the 
contents of the program stack.  

This issue affects Apache OpenOffice up to and including version 4.1.10

This issue is fixed in Apache OpenOffice 4.1.11

Apache OpenOffice would like to thank Eugene Lim, Government Technology Agency

Exactly. I was looking at settings yesterday and there is one that controls the 
automatic interpretation of YY to  including which year > 29 is 19YY vs 
20YY.

So here we are with someone having a Y2K issue :-)

Re: Bug report openoffice 4.1.10 Mac

[Dave Fisher]

FYI - I looked more closely and I’m not sure how you even have transparency as 
a choice in the background fill. For me it is “No Fill” and that works fine.

Can you explain how you managed that setting?

Re: When is the version for Big Sur O.S. expected?

[Dave Fisher]

Hi -

XLSX and Excel is Microsoft’s file format. OpenOffice implements OpenDocument 
Format (ODF). Excel can save ODF. Ask your source to save the file that way.

OpenOffice is all volunteer while Microsoft is huge as you know. They 
continually improve their Office Open formats…

If reading XLSX is important for you then you might find LibreOffice better 
suited to your needs.

What you describe is a font metrics problem where the metrics used don’t match 
the font used. Can you describe your OS version, OpenOffice version, font 
including style and size selected, and if that font is present in your system.

Re: Code execution in Apache OpenOffice via non-http(s) schemes in Hyperlinks

[Dave Fisher]

Hi -

Here is some background on the issue which has apparently existed since about 
OpenOffice.org 2.0 in 2005 or so.

See https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=49802

Some confusion existed between types of hyperlinks and rather than filtering 
they were all allowed to proceed.

Arrigo restored the code and Carl added some protocol checks:
https://github.com/apache/openoffice/commit/aa358bfc895091e0ee5382ad1d25e5d51261463b

This current code will cause a warning for any http(s) hyperlinks that do not 
have an extension in the “whitelist.”

Some think that we should blanket allow all http(s) hyperlinks so I’ve created 
a PR for that:
https://github.com/apache/openoffice/pull/127

Topics for 4.2.0 include:
(1) A better dialog box for the hyperlink security warning
(2) Implement an option to allow users to choose from 3 levels of hyperlink 
security that is in the code, but not the settings. The levels in the code are 
essentially:
- No Security
- What we have now
- And only help links

All The Best,
Dave

CVE-2021-30245: Code execution in Apache OpenOffice via non-http(s) schemes in Hyperlinks

[Dave Fisher]

Severity: moderate

Description:

The project received a report that all versions of Apache OpenOffice through 
4.1.8 can open non-http(s) hyperlinks. The problem has existed since about 2006 
and the issue is also in 4.1.9. If the link is specifically crafted this could 
lead to untrusted code execution. It is always best practice to be careful 
opening documents from unknown and unverified sources. The mitigation in Apache 
OpenOffice 4.1.10 (unreleased) assures that a security warning is displayed 
giving the user the option of continuing to open the hyperlink.

Hi,

The PDF 1.0 specification had hashtag internal named destinations since it was

Apple has clearly messed up.

The little amount of information you have given doesn't help us to
understand your issue. Please tell us more about what happens, what
messages you see when you try to install.

Please address any reply to users@openoffice.apache.org not to my

Hi -

It’s hard to read the screenshot, but it looks like you are on OpenOffice 4.1.7?

You should update to 4.1.9.

It will show “OpenOffice”. She can try “Force Quit” from the Apple menu to see 
if there is an OpenOffice already running.

The other question is if she is running from the installation disk or from the 
Applications folder. OpenOffice should be copied from the installation disk 
image to Applications in the Finder.

Re: open office

[Dave Fisher]

There are individuals and companies that at one time provided CDs and DVDs for 
OpenOffice.org <http://openoffice.org/>. This was allowed by Sun Microsystems 
and Oracle Corp because that was considered a benefit to the community.

The TDF's LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice did not exist when this practice 
started well over 10 years ago.

What we are looking for are those that switched from providing a service of CDs 
and DVDs and now sell links to openoffice.org/download/ with support provided 
here by community volunteers. They may also repackage OpenOffice with malware 
and other “goodies”. We want to prevent abuse of the Apache OpenOffice 
trademarks.

IMO while the TDF has expressed interest in the OpenOffice brand in various 
ways there has never been a known abuse of the OpenOffice trademark. If one 
were reported I am confident that it would be accidental and cured quickly.

Dave

Re: Apache for Mac Big Sur?

[Dave Fisher]

Hi -

What fails currently with OpenOffice on BigSur is opening Microsoft Office Open 
XML files - docx, xlsx, pptx, and the rest.

A new release 4.1.9 is in the pipeline which has been confirmed by French user 
forum members to fix this issue.

The release will take a week to three weeks to go through our volunteer’s 
testing. If you are interested in helping test then please join the developer 
list at d...@openoffice.apache.org <mailto:d...@openoffice.apache.org>.

Re: https://www.openoffice.org/download/checksums.html#internet

[Dave Fisher]

We no longer produce MD5 files. Instead we have SHA256 and SHA512. Users need 
only check one and not the other. Instructions are complex and involve multiple 
choices.

Hi Aleksander,

Third parties have been selling CDs with our software for years. We, the Apache

For up to date versions please visit

Re: Failure

[Dave Fisher]

Hi -

Many people have created versions of OpenOffice.org and Apache OpenOffice. 
Typically they bundle a version on a DVD and charge a nominal fee. Often they 
do very little and even point users to the various free, community supported 
resources like this mailing list.

The Apache Software Foundation is a non-profit that is dedicated to providing 
software for the public good free of charge. Oracle Corp. donated the codebase 
and trademarks to the Foundation nearly 9 years ago. The project and code is 
now managed completely by unpaid volunteers.

You should download the latest version from 
https://www.openoffice.org/download/. This will redirect you to SourceForge who 
generously support the community by providing mirroring services for OpenOffice 
downloads.

We can support you here if that is where you got your copy. If not then we 
cannot say. We are sorry that someone sold you a disk w/o much support.

Regards,
Dave

It would help us to answer your question if you provided adequate
information about your issue:

1. Which link are you referring to?
2. Which operating system are you using?
3. Can you provide more detailed information about your issue.

It's the crappy auto response given when someone tries to log into or
recover their credentials for the Apache OpenOffice templates website.

The message instructs the victim to "Contact the site administrator",
but we users have no idea who the site administrator is.

Scanned images are just like photographs (bitmaps = just a series of
dots that make up a picture). To turn scanned text into editable text
you have to process the image through OCR (Optical Character
Recognition) software.
There are numerous commercial OCR packages available, but if you you
only want to convert the occasional image you might consider free
options such as:
On-line: https://www.onlineocr.net/

Can you explain in more detail what you mean by "stopped working"?
You appear to be using Windows 10 and I am guessing you are double
clicking on document names and those documents are not opening.
Do any error or other messages appear? If so, what do they say?
Can you start the program (eg. Writer) from the Windows menu?

There are three possiblities.

(1) You are sending from a different email than your subscription.
(2) The generated unsubscribe verification emails are in your spam or junk

(3) Gmail is bouncing the generated unsubscribe verification emails.

If (3) is the reason then I hope that one of the volunteer list moderators can

Hi Calvin,

Please note that attachments are removed from posts to this list, which 
means that most subscribers will not see your capture.


I can see your image and my guess is that you have a number of pages 
(not spreadsheets) in the document and you have somehow inadvertently 
switched from single page view into book view and your window zoom has 
remained at 100%.


The simple solution is to click on the left hand icon of the 3 icons in 
the bottom right hand corner of the Writer window. I am attaching an 
extract from your screen capture illustrating the window area.

This will be the fourth try at attempting to contact you. You don't make it

I used to use Word up until about 10 years ago when somebody suggested Open
Office to me. I much prefer this to Word. I do have one issue though. I
used Excel a lot. They had a function where I could add certain lines to a
total. On your .ods file, I can find that function. I don't have Word or
Excel on my PC now. I miss that function. I have Open Office version 4.1.6.
Does that have the function I want? I've checked all the options at the top
and can't find that function. Am I just missing seeing it? Please help

Fwd: Product support for OpenOfficeWriter

[Dave Apache]

This message has been redirected from d...@openoffice.apache.org
moderation to the the user support list.

Any reply should include Mary Ann Brown majabro...@suddenlink.net in the
cc reply.

 Forwarded Message 
Subject:Product support for OpenOfficeWriter
Date:   Thu, 3 Oct 2019 11:47:05 -0500
From:   majabro...@suddenlink.net
To: d...@openoffice.apache.org



I am looking for a contact person to ask questions about
OpenOfficeWriter. I have googled my problem and cannot find an answer.
Please direct me to the appropriate source:
 
1) All images created with OpenOfficeWriter have automatically been
converted to AdobeAcrobatReader, which is the only part of the Acrobat
suite that is installed on my computer.
2) Any new document that I try to save as a (.doc) document shows the
appropriate extension, but when it is saved, it is saved only as
AdobeAcrobat pdf.
 
I desperately need help and hope you will respond as soon as possible.
 
Thank you!

Re: Problem Downloading Open Office

[Dave Fisher]

The downloads on sourceforge are the ones that are created by the Apache 
OpenOffice project.

Matthias is the one who currently creates all of the Windows builds as a 
volunteer. We are all volunteers and SourceForge has generously donated to our 
community hosting for well over 250,000,000 million downloads for the last 8 
years.

Our macOS builds support version 10.7 and greater. Apple has evolved their 
Gatekeeper program over this time period. There are ways to get around this and 
usually someone will point this out. Try looking at forums.openoffice.org.

Actually you should be concerned about malware from OpenOffice.de where the 
windows installer and Linux repos are repackaged by the owner of that domain.

There are ways to verify that you are getting the correct package that involve 
other tools. I’m away from desk, but others can answer that question.

Regards,
Dave

No. We are the developers and maintainers of OpenOffice only.

Perhaps others on this mailing list will have some ideas. I’ve used OmniGraffle 
(IIRC) which is available in the AppStore.

Re: Open Office Premium

Hi -

Resellers offer OpenOffice for sale on Media as a convenience.

The Apache OpenOffice project is an all volunteer project that offers 
OpenOffice software for free.

You can download OpenOffice from https://www.openoffice.org/download/.

We just released the latest version - 4.1.7.

Dave

If all that you want to do is retrieve the text then you should look into 
Apache Tika. It’s a programmers tool that does text extraction including OCR of

That’s ironic because Lotus123 eventually became Symphony which was built on 
OpenOffice and then IBM donated code to Apache OpenOffice which LibreOffice 
consumed.

Re: ATT WEBMASTER

[Dave AOO]

John,

What makes you believe you are subscribed to this mailing list? There is 
no record of anyone ever having been subscribed to this mailing list 
with an ourfireside.com email address. Nor are you subscribed with the 
icloud.com address you are using here and I am unclear as to why your 
message was moderated through to the list, since you also sent the same 
request to list-owner.


Now if you are genuinely receiving copies of posts to this mailing list, 
send an email to users-ow...@openoffice.apache.org with accurate 
information about the email account at which you are receiving those 
posts and I will investigate the situation.

DO NOT ATORELY - SEND TO HUMAN WEBMASTER

I have been unable to delete my name from your BLAST email listserv


You’re the one that subscribed to this listserv


because I do not have my exact sign-up email


The email address it is sent to is the one you subscribed with


as a result of a computer crash. HOWEVER, as I own the two domain to which it 
would have been directed you can be sure ANY listserv member with that domain 
is ME.


And you expect someone is scanning all the millions of email addresses for your 
domain name?


I would sincerely appreciate you deleting my listing(s), as it is not possible 
to filter the arrivals of these emails on my cell phone and they are incredibly 
annoying since I do not use open-office.


Well filtering is not the best option, but if you want to filter emails you 
should do it at the server side, this saves a lot of data transmission.




Your anticipated help is sincerely appreciated.


Did you notice that your ISP put the .invalid after your email address, 
probably this is the cause that you’re unable to unsubscribe.


My domain is: OURFIRESIDE.COM
bThere is no other individual on this domain who would designed up for your 
listserv.

Thank yo again.

There is no connection or relationship between Apache OpenOffice and any
edition of Microsoft Office, so the answer to your question is no.
However you are using the Outlook email client which is part of Office
365 and Apache OpenOffice does not provide an email client, but many
users choose the Mozilla Thunderbird email program as an alternative to
Outlook.

In addition to Brian's excellent answer, when you right mouse click on a
word the context (pop-up) menu that opens will have an entry at the
bottom called "Synonyms" with sub-menu options, the last of which is
"Thesaurus". Selecting this option opens the Thesaurus dialog you are
familiar with.

Hope this helps.
