Re: In Calc, can the horizontal and vertical scroll sections be enlarged?

[Kay Schenk]

Some success with the "theme" hint. I changed to Clearlooks from Adwaita 
and ta!da! the horizontal and vertical scroll bars in Calc are wider and 
clearer.  CentOS 7 default for themes right now is GTK 2. I'm Ok with 
that for the time being.

I believe this "problem" has been brought up recently before. IIRC 
That thread resolved the problem to the height of the horizontal 
scroll bar on the bottom right, which is in the same horizontal 
field of the window as the sheet tabs and as such, drives the height 
of the tabs. This cannot be changed in AOO as it stands. The field 
height may be changed by selecting another window style in the 
desktop configuration. I did some experimenting with it and found a 
window style that presented a higher (wider) scroll bar and which 
did present larger tabs and font. I wasn't satisfied with other 
attributes of that style, so I selected another style and now I 
can't remember how I got the higher-tab style to go back to. So, the 
short answer is to change desktop window manager window styles and 
see if there is one that works better for you.

I know that we have Issues with themes. So maybe this belongs in

Or maybe Do you have a 4K Monitor?

Google + for Apache OpenOffice being eliminated

[Kay Schenk]

Hello AOO users --

The Apache OpenOffice "community" at:

https://plus.google.com/+openoffice

will be going away with other user-centric G+ accounts on April 2, 2019.

We will be archiving this area and hopefully at least migrating the 
posts somewhere, though that has not yet been determined. At this time, 
we encourage you to use the FB AOO community, or the AOO wiki


http://forum.openoffice.org/

for interaction with other users about various topics.

Thanks for using AOO and supporting other users.

Something I discovered quite some time ago, if you don't mind creating
your own PDF "book". If you start here:

https://wiki.openoffice.org/

Click on the left navigation item: Create Book
(this will start the book creator)

Then you can go to Documentation, and from there add sections from the
new User Guide:

https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/UserGuide

When you're done, you can view your "book", download as PDF, etc.

Let us know if this works for you or not.

Re: impossible to install LanguageTool-3.4.oxt

Looking at the extension page for LanguageTool --

this seems to be known problem. There is a link to help to this problem
there.

Suggest contacting the extension developer,  dnaber, in some way. There may
be alternative tools for this as well.

​We had a framework change with version 4.0. What this means in that the

 Lexmark does claim to provide drivers for Mac OSX El Capitan.

Please see:

Hopefully you  can install whatever driver you need yourself.

​Hi again. It's likely in this case that our download site would recognize
Windows as the operating system, and present you with the right version for
your tablet. If not,  you could manually choose a Windows download option
from our download site  and see if that works for you. You might also need
to find a 32-bit Java to use.

Once you get your tablet, please let us know how this worked for you.

Good luck.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Apache OpenOffice is not currently supported on tablets. However, there 
are ports for some devices with certain operating systems. Please see 
our porting page for further details:


http://www.openoffice.org/porting/

There may be other versions/ports available that we are not aware of as 
well. Please be aware that tablet operating systems vary, so a port that 
works on one tablet(operating system) may not work on another.




I am looking at the LENOVO MIIX 300,(10,1" / Atom Z3537F / 2GB / 32GB) OR ASUS

yes...Apache OpenOffice provides exports to PDF format.

This sounds like a setup problem with TurboTax and/or your
system default applications. I don't use TurboTax but I'm
guessing you can probably open your tax data with 4.1.2. Can
you check your import settings for TurboTax and see if maybe
OpenOffice 4.0.0 is hardcoded there or something of that
nature. Or, you could have OpenOffice 4.0.0 specified as
your default spreadsheet program and that's the problem.

Please see our Installation Instructions for some guidance
on assigning default applications in Windows.

Re: Open Office Writer UTTER , UTTER Rubbish (or not)

[Kay Schenk]

Apache OpenOffice does indeed have a perfectly functional
spell checker. And, of course, we are aware of the problems
for some users/systems  with the spell checker on upgrades.
We have recently had a patch submitted and tested to correct
this problem. See the following BZ entry:

https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=126762

Hopefully, when 4.2 is released, the problem will be solved.

It would be a great help to us if you could open an issue on
Bugzilla -- https://bz.apache.org/ooo/

and provide details of your OS, etc. If being "admin" is NOT the
norm for installing OpenOffice on Windows, this obviously needs to
be fixed!

Thanks for helping by testing out this pre-release.

To my knowledge, (Apache) OpenOffice has not been either pre-installed or
part of the "standard" repositories for any Linux distribution for at least
3.5 - 4 years. Some of our volunteers have made it available through
community repositories, however.

This is just a tutorial table designed for a variety of users in different

the US. Once you save this table, you should be able to back into it using
the Tables icon and add whatever fields you like.

You have the capability to add many fields to this sample table.

Recommend that you should investigate what the Windows Fax server uses
for default document input type -- again maybe .doc, .odt, .pdf?

Once you know this, you will then need to investigate what document
format is generated by the medical record system. You say it generates
an OpenOffice document but in what format -- .odt? .doc? The document
type output will need to be compatible with what the FAX server wants as
input.

Many FAX servers are happy with either .doc or .pdf formats. The FAX
server could be generating or telling you it's sending .tif because it
doesn't recognize the input type and it defaults to sending an image
format if it can't determine input document type.

 You can record a macro and assign it to a button or shortcut key. The

 I have two more-or-less unrelated questions:
 
 1.  If OpenOffice crashes once with no apparent cause (i.e., it cannot

 my document), but the Crash Reporter screen fails to come up, then is
 the failure to display the Crash Reporter screen a legitimate bug?

The Crash Reporter mechanism was disabled as of version 4.0.
Unfortunately not all references to it were removed until just recently.

There have been discussions about reviving this capability but nothing
has been decided.
 
 2.  If a particular file reliably causes OpenOffice to quit
 unexpectedly, is that a legitimate bug?  If so then I can create a
 bug ticket... after first running the file through Jotti (to make sure
 it's not infected), of course.
 
 What is normal or expected behavior if you open a corrupted file in
 OpenOffice for Macintosh?  *Should* it close unexpectedly?
 
 (Note that opening this particular file always brings up Apple's
 crash-reporter screen rather than OpenOffice's.  Does anybody affiliated
 with the OpenOffice project receive Apple bug reports that are
 triggered by OpenOffice crashes?)

  Good bye OpenOffice!
 


So very sorry to hear about your problems and now your abandoning of
OpenOffice.

It would be be very helpful to us if you tell us a bit more about your
environment : OS version, RAM size, etc . -- so we can determine how to
correct whatever is causing this to happen.  And, what versions have you
used of OpenOffice? Which version are you using now?

 On clicking on the download link (1) below, the webpage opened

 Having just attempted to install it, my macbook running Leopard (OS X
 10.5.8) is refusing, saying it cannot use this version. This usually
 happens when the software is intended for Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) or
 later.

 So something is slightly wonky somewhere.

OpenOffice recently dropped support for Mac OS X 10.6 and lower.

 forward to better support disabled users especially on Windows. The
 second improvement is the switch to 64 bit on MacOS. A long

 German, Greek, English (GB + US), Spanish, Basque, Finnish, French,

Did OpenOffice find these pages but fail to open them? And if that was the

Or, was it some other problem.

 Beide Datenbanken haben den gleichen Stuckturaufbau in den Tabellen. Ich

 neuen Datenbank verwenden. Leider gelingt es mir nicht, meine Idee zu
 verwirklichen. Wenn ich die Inhalte einer Tabelle markiere und kopieren

Are you trying to open or print directly FROM your e-mail without saving

If this is the case, it may be a configuration issue with your mailer.
This is not a message from OpenOffice.

Could you give a few more details?

What program are you using that works with OpenOffice3 but not 4? Mostly
just curious about this one. When we went to version 4, there were changes
to how extension must be constructed. Maybe the author of your program that
integrates with 3.x is not aware of this change.

This is what we have for uninstall instructions.

However, there are some forum posts which indicate if quick starter is
enabled, this could be causing odd reinstall behavior.

 I was cruising through the users list yesterday and came across
 this
   
message.
   
 http://markmail.org/message/tl2jof3b5inpnedj
 I, too am a Linux/KDE users of 11 years, but I'm not sure what
 you mean
   
by
   
 this comment --
 I use KDE; AOO only provides integration for GNOME. 
 Could you elaborate?
 What AOO desktop-integration bits do you install?
   
As the OP on the comment...
   
I installed AOO from the unofficial Debian Ports tree hosted on
SF.net[1].
   
There is a package in there called
openoffice-gnome-integration[1], which is provided by AOO; there
is no package openoffice-kde-integration - which is what my
comment was about.
So I have no mime-type integration aside from what I do manually;
nor do I have it on any menus in KDE4, so I have to run it via
KRunner and an explicit path to the soffice binaries[3].
   
Now, if openoffice-gnome-integration will do the above without
requiring GNOME to be installed, great - I haven't tried it as the
name suggests requiring GNOME which I don't have installed (Kubuntu
user).
   
   
If I'm missing something, then please point me in the right
direction.
  
   I can certainly do that. Several of us using KDE have found that if
   you install the freedesktop-menus... from the desktop-integration
 
 
  +1 the package is openoffice-debian-menus, which is the Openoffice
  desktop integration. This is on a Debian Wheezy system using the SF.net
  repos, but using KDE 3, it works on multiple DE's though, just will not
  test Gnome  KDE4


 Great. Installed it, but it doesn't work with KDE4.
 Hopefully the one for 4.0.1 for the freedesktop menu integration will.

 Ben


Ben --

You need to install the desktop-integration parts manually, after the main
install. Please see:

 http://www.openoffice.org/download/common/instructions.html

This does not happen automagically. I can't tell by your response here
what you've done.

If you have installed some other desktop-integration piece for AOO, I
suggest you uninstall that, install the freedesktop-menus, get out of KDE
then back in, to see changes.

Please be aware that this effects main KDE/mime_type/application menu
integration only and not TOTAL KDE integration, e.g. kmail, etc.

I hope this helps.

 Kay Schenk, I follow the AOO dev list see your posts.

 Not sure what constitutes integration/support for AOO  LO.


In the larger scheme of things -- integration for Linux is perhaps not
quite there. Right now we have good integration with mime-types for KDE (at
least 4.x) with the freedesktop-menu installation.

The concern I was originally asking about had to do with recognized
default mailer, and this is NOT automatically detected for Linux.

I use
 Trinity desktop, the continuation of KDE 3.5.x branch. The lead dev
 there has provided some kind of  support for LO, mostly due to lack of
 resources to do more and AOO is not in distros.

 Are you aware of this code?
 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2012-May/031676.html


No, I am not. Nor had I even heard of Trinity before this.

I can certainly do that. Several of us using KDE have found that if you
install the freedesktop-menus... from the desktop-integration

you won't have to do any manual configuration of mime-types, as this will
take care of that.

It seems this little tip needs to be added to the Install Instructions as
well. hmmm...


And of course I'll be happy to help with testing of any KDE integration.


Well, there will be more to do in that regard, but this is first step. I
hope it helps.

 ​There is also Akonadi which is the underlining resource manager for
 KDE-PIM. Not sure to what degree of integration with KMail services is
 dependable of it. I know in the past Sun people worked with Mozilla to
 integrate some of the Calendar/Mail services with OpenOffice under the
 Lightning project. ​
 ​

 http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/features/3.0/#Calendar_and_Email_Client_.28Mozilla_Thunderbird_and_Lightning.29

 Evolution is practically death, but both Kolab/Akonadi are very well alive
 under the KDE layer. ​

  specifications. Maybe the internal e-mail handler in AOO can make use of

 ​Gnome use gconf for their setting rules (API), I don't know the actual
 name for KDE but I know there is one. This is a few layers above DBus/uDev,
 but more on the Desktop environment level.

 I also think that we need to take efforts to make OpenOffice finally deal
 with media (for embedded objects). Sun never wanted to depend on DM
 specific media frameworks like gstreamer, and preffered a very obsolete JMF
 (Java Media Framework) which quite honestly never really worked as
 expected. Freedesktop have some frameworks like Telepathy, and KDE has
 phonon to deal with media.

 KDE deals greatly with OpenDocuments (not really AOO but helps) having an
 internal rendering libraries for all things OpenDocuments natively.
 https://kenai.com/projects/kde-odf-thumbnail​

 A lot of useful information here. Oddly, now using AOO 4.0.1, RC3, and
 configuring my e-mail manually, all is good. With the previous RC2 version,
 I got into some dialog boxes that seemed to want to do some configuration,
 but only got partially through that. Odd. And, it didn't work. But, today,
 all is well. OK, I will look into this when I have a moment.
