Das ist so nicht ganz eindeutig: Könnte das vielleicht bedeuten, dass Sie eine 
neuere
Version des Fachprogramms benötigen, um diese Funktion zu benutzen?? (nb: "Für 
die
Benutzung von Word ist nur bei einer neueren Version als meiner möglich..." ist 
ganz
sicherlich /nicht/ der Text der Meldung - etwas mehr Präzision wäre da auch 
hilfreich ;-) )

Bietet das Fachprogramm die Möglichkeit, im Word-Format abzuspeichern? Dann 
machen Sie das
- diese Datei können Sie später im OpenOffice einfach öffnen.

Programm-technisch kann das - wie hier schon kurz erläutert - nur der 
Programmierer der
Fachanwendung selbst diese so ergänzen, dass die Daten auch direkt an 
OpenOffice übergeben
werden können. Bitten Sie Ihn ruhig darum - je mehr Kunden fragen, desto größer 
die
Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass er es macht.

Sie können diesbezüglich nichts einstellen. Das Fachprogramm versucht auf das 
API bzw. Objektmodell von MS Word zuzugreifen und scheitert, weil Word nicht da 
ist. 
Eine einfache 'Umleitung' auf OO ist nicht möglich weil dessen API/Objektmodell 
anders sind und ein Befehl des Fachprogramms, der sich eigentlich an Word 
richtet, bei OO nur einen Fehler auslösen würde, weil er nicht verstanden 
würde. Es wäre vergleichweise so als wenn Sie mit jemandem der nur deutsch kann 
versuchen Chinesisch zu reden, er hört zwar den Klang ihrer Worte, aber kann 
damit nichts anfangen.

> Was könnte ich vom Programmierer erfragen, damit es zu einer

Ob er bereit wäre sein Fachprogramm so zu erweitern das es auch mit OO 
kommunizieren kann. Der Aufwand dafür hängt davon ab, was genau das 
Fachprogramm mittels Word tut und entsprechend mittels OO tun müsste. 

u.U. kann man auch ohne Änderung des Fachprogramms etwas tun, wenn dessen 
Programmierer zumindest Infos zur Verfügung stellt welche Zugriffe er auf Word 
durchführt bzw. man diese Info selbst durch Untersuchung gewinnt.

Bei diesen Dingen will ich Eines nicht verschweigen: wenn es nur auf direkte 
Kosten ankommt, dann ist es in primärer Betrachtung sicher billiger sich eine 
MS Word Lizenz zu kaufen, wenn hingegen bei Ihnen OpenOffice bestimmend für 
Ihren  workflow ist, kann es sich auch lohnen darüber nachzudenken etwas zu 
tun. Wenn Sie Glück haben ist in einfachen Fällen vielleicht schon eine Lösung 
für einige hundert Euro zu haben, billiger aber sicher kaum.

So the text that you are pasting in is - unhelpfully - formatted as 
separate lines or paragraphs, broken up by line breaks or paragraph 
breaks, not as a continuous body of text, allowing it to flow 
naturally between lines. Ask the provider why this is.


... and when I look in the "Format" choices, the Wrap choices stay 
grayed even when I highlight text, nothing happens when I select 
"Page wrap.  (or anything else)


Those options are for choosing how text should arrange around a 
graphic inserted into your text document. So they will activate only 
when you select such a graphic. That is not your problem here.



I want the words to fit all the way across the page.


Good: read on.


When I used Microsoft Word many years ago, it always worked.


I'm not at all sure how you can know that whatever text you obtained 
and inserted "years ago" would have contained the same problem as the 
text you are handling now. So we cannot know this. But in any case, 
if you prefer working with Microsoft Word, why not use it? It's still 
available, you know! You are very welcome to use any alternative 
product if you prefer.


Here's (probably) how to solve your problem:
o Go to Tools | AutoCorrect Options... | Options and ensure that 
"Combine single line paragraphs if length greater than X%" is ticked.
o With that option selected, you may need to click Edit... and reduce 
the percentage - perhaps to as low as 5% - depending on the detail of 
your pasted text.

o Select all your pasted text.
o In the Apply Style box (near the left of the Formatting toolbar), 
select the Default paragraph style from the drop-down menu.

o Go to Format | AutoCorrect > | Apply.

Note that this process will change the paragraph style to "Text 
body", so you may need to change it back. Note also that AutoCorrect 
may make some formatting changes that you don't want, so be sure to 
make this change first, before you spend time on formatting your 
document generally.


I trust this helps.

​Alan, rather than saving the document in the .odt file format, you would
probably be advised to save it in .doc format, in order to be sure that
MIcrosoft Office ​

Re: word

2017-03-01 Thread Andrew Pitonyak 


I have written numerous articles for publication using OpenOffice with 
no problem. I think that you must first determine what format is 
required/supported by the publisher (DOC, DOCX, ODT, etc). If they 
directly support ODT, you are finished. if not, then you simply save 
your file in a supported format and submit that.


There may be a few formatting issues when saving in a different format, 
but, these usually require complicated constructs not used when 
submitting for publication; for example, worrying about precise 
placement of a figure relative to a paragraph. These sorts of things are 
usually changed by an editor using fancy programs to get the layout as 
they want it, so it has, in my experience, not mattered.


Even if it did matter, support is sufficiently good, that it still does 
not matter (in general).

Re: Word documents

2016-04-28 Thread Jean Lear 
I cannot give any advice to John with his problem but I would caution
anyone who upgrades to Windows 10, before doing anything else to check the
Tools > Options > Language Settings > Language of Apache Open Office. (This
is if they are using anything other that English (USA).
My sad experience was that Windows 10 was put onto my computer without me
being aware of it. I later found that the Options I had previously set for
languages, which was English (Australian) had been changed to English
(USA).  This changed formatting such as dates in all my OpenOffice Calc
files.  When I reset the formatting in the Options all the dates became
corrupted and ended up being shown as a four year and one day difference in
everything.  The only thing I could do then, apart from going through all
the settings for OpenOffice in the Options in case anything else had been
changed, was to start new files for everything I was currently wanting to
use from the date I found the errors. The old files I have retained are of
very little use to me now.

Re: Word dokument

2015-10-30 Thread Martin Groenescheij 

Translation by Google:


It is Word Program in the package I purchased?


What package are we talking about?
If you mean OpenOffice you should not pay for it as this is open source 
(means free)
Best thing is throw it in the trash bin and download a fresh copy from 
www.openoffice.org



What is it called if necessary.


In OpenOffice it's called Writer.



Can you help me to install it?


Follow the instructions when you have downloaded OpenOffice 4.1.2

There is no telephone support as OpenOffice is a freely downloadable program.  
You will find a word count in OpenOffice by /Tools /Word count; this by default 
will count the words in the entire document.  If you select text, it will count 
the words in the selection. /File /Properties : Statistics tab will give you 
other statistics and word count for the document.  

An installable extension to put a running word count on the status bar (bottom 
bar of screen) can be downloaded from 
http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/word-count-statusbar-controller

Note that here can be slight differences between OpenOffice word count and MS 
Word Word count due to differing methods of treating punctuation and brackets.

Well, I've now asked the question, so hope to find out soon.  Perhaps
it is wrong to quibble over word-counts anyway in academic documents.
If you are having to shave words at that level of minutiae, then you
might have written too much.

 More pertinent to the original question, is how does the institution
 define word?

Probably as defined by the institution's preferred word processor or an
acceptable alternative.

Bit I have a suspicion we are starting (as many great threads do) to drift
away from OO ...

 Hello List,
 
 Can you help me with how the word counts are done?  Not what makes
 up a word or a word-boundary - the 'help' told me that.  Footnotes

 differ for the whole document when nothing is selected, or when a
 block of text (including footnotes) is selected?
 
 Jonathan

When text is selected the footnotes for that block are not counted.  Otherwise 
they are, and their number in the footnote seems to be counted as a word. But 
don't rely on the word count matching that of MS Word.

Thank you so much for that.  It's a good start.  Two follow on questions:

I think LibreOffice (which I don't use) should work with the same rules, but 
they do tweak things, so the only sure way to know is to query this on a 
LibreOffice list.

My understanding is that most academic standards allow +/-10% in word count.  
Unless the academic standards committee defines the exact word count process to 
be used, one word counter is as good as another.

In any event I personally would object to any academic institution insisting on 
the use of proprietary software and proprietary formats - this is as 
restrictive as insisting that one should write one's submissions in purple ink 
on a green paper.

 Historically, a word is either five successive characters (typing) or

Hello, if I understand the problem correctly the following should allow
your recipient to open the document.

1. Open your original document with OpenOffice Word
2. Select File | Save As... from the menu
3. In the bottom right of the window that opens, just aboue the Cancel
and Save buttons there is a list box with All Formats displayed
4. Open the list and select the option Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP (.doc)
5. Click the Save button
6. Send the newly saved document

If the above doesn't allow recipient to open the document repeat steps 1
thru 3 then for step 4

4. Open the list and select the option Microsoft Word 2003 XML (.xml)
5. Click the Save button
6. Send the newly saved document

If this doesn't work, and the recipient doesn't need to edit the document,
send it as a .pdf. Do that by...
1. Open your original document with OpenOffice Word
2. Select File | Export as PDF... from the menu
3. Click the Export button
4. Send the newly exported pdf file

If all of the above fail then ask what version of Microsoft Word your
recipient is using and post back here. Each version of MS Word has it's own
limitations regarding what MS Word versions it can read. The recipient may
need to apply a patch to their product to be able to read the MS Word files
that you are able to send.

Thank you.  I, too, had the same issue and was not aware that there was an

If the auto-recovery isn't successful than you can check the backup

A backup file depends on your settings under Tools -- Options -- Load/save

I am having a problem with Word Wrap in the spreadsheet section of 
Open Office. In Excel every line is centred within a cell (when

symmetry. Am I doing something wrong?


It seems that there is an interesting difference between Microsoft 
Excel and OpenOffice Calc in this respect. The correct way to break 
lines within a cell is to insert a line break, which you do in Calc 
using Ctrl+Enter (or in Excel using Alt+Enter, it seems). If you do 
it this way, the systems are compatible.


You may instead be tempted to control line breaking by entering 
multiple spaces between parts of the text. That would be unfortunate 
and rather like using multiple empty paragraphs instead of the 
correct page break to move to a new page in a word processor. If you 
do this, Excel notices the spaces in deciding where to divide the 
lines but then ignores them in centring the text on each line. Calc, 
on the other hand, respects the spaces in both senses. So you can use 
this less than ideal technique in Excel but are required to smarten 
up and do things according to the book in Calc.


I trust this helps.

Well, the code is a modified version of what I already committed on
devtools in order to make it production-ready (the code there was just
a draft to test the underlaying implementation). Preregistered
extensions are evil (they don't work on Linux, among other bugs), so
including code-extensions in the install set is a no-go.

On the other hand, implementing this in OpenOffice will require
a developer knowing Writer internal code, while doing it in an extension
you just need to know the client API; that's the fun in making
extensions.

 I got the Linux-64 version from the Extensions site and OpenOffice froze
 just after installing it (I generated dummy text and selected some, and it
 froze without showing the selected count). But after restarting OpenOffice
 everything worked correctly. If you wish I can do further tests, but
 probably it was just a coincidence.

This is a bug with the live deployment of extensions, it is broken
by design (Mozilla does it more cleaver, installing/removing addons
requires a restart); I assume it is already reported in bugzilla.

Not sure how you define feature, for a user, a word counting tool is the  
same feature regarding of its on a modal dialog or a live status. It  
serves the same porpouse. And yes, originally I just advocate to have the  
modal dialog triggered from the toolbar or from a different menu option  
(maybe the panels). Live status was only clear now. This 'live' features  
is a different workflow of code but not a different solution for the user  
IMO.

Re: WORD COUNTER

2014-05-23 Thread Alexandro Colorado 
Also shouldnt be hard to include in the core of AOO, just edit the UI
default menu calling the function that does the process.

Example here:
http://opengrok.adfinis-sygroup.org/source/xref/aoo-trunk/main/officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/UI/WriterCommands.xcu#1668
and the code here:
http://opengrok.adfinis-sygroup.org/source/xref/aoo-trunk/main/sw/source/ui/dialog/wordcountdialog.cxx
The question is how and why do we do this this way and if those points are
still valid.

It does make sense to have it on Properties and Tools. Having them on the
taskbar seems out of place. Just cuz MSO does it, is not a good excuse.

How difficult would it be to include the word count in the status
bar?. I´ve been annoyed by Word users asking for this feature since
times immemorial, back when this was StarOffice 5.x and wasn´t even
open source to begin with.

Es gibt PDF-Drucker, die das zur Datei passende Programm starten und
diesem Programm den Druckbefehl übermitteln können. Das nutzt dir
natürlich nichts, wenn dieses Programm dann diese Formeln nicht
darstellen kann.

Gibt es für den MAC möglicherweise einen Word-Viewer? Ich habe für
solche (Not-)Fälle den Word-Viewer+Compatibility-Pack mit Hilfe von
Wine auf meinem Linux-Rechner eingerichtet. Damit kann man keine
Dateien bearbeiten, aber man kann (per PDF-Drucker) PDF erstellen und
zur Not mit CopyPaste Teile übernehmen.

 Nein. Ich habe zumindest nicht gefunden.
 
 Aber wenn es einen von MS gebe, wäre der höchstwahrscheinlich
 nutzlos. 

Das kann man leider immer nur durch probieren herausfinden. 

Gibt es Wine eigentlich auch für den MAC? Wie gesagt: Unter Linux
bekomme ich den Viewer von Microsoft damit zum laufen. Ob der deine
Formeln darstellen könnte, kann ich mangels Testdatei leider nicht
sagen.

 Ich habe hier noch ein Word 2008 für Mac mit einer Lizenz,
 die woanders über war. Das meldet beim Öffnen brav, dass es Formeln
 aus Word 2007 nicht öffnen könne. Dieser Quatsch ist halt noch nicht
 mal zu sich selbst kompatibel.

Wir haben in der Firma noch Word 2000 prof. im Einsatz. Je nach
Installationsart (Aus dem Komplettpaket, als Einzelprogramm oder aus
dem Small Business-Paket) wird das Adressfeld unserer älteren Briefe
richtig, um 8 cm zu weit nach unten oder 2 cm zu weit nach oben
angezeigt. Dabei ist das Feld an der Seite verankert...

 Ich mache beim lösen von
 MS-Kompatibilitätsproblemen seit Jahren einen Bogen um MS. Man
 orientiere sich an Einsteins Albert, der einmal anmerkte, dass man
 Probleme nicht durch die gleiche Denkweise lösen könne, durch die sie
 entstanden wären.

;-) Ich verstehe dich sehr gut.

Am meisten nervt, dass viele Leute nicht begreifen, dass sie sich
letztlich mit proprietären Dateiformaten selber ins Knie schießen.

Eine Kollegin hat mir ein Word-Dokument zugemailt, Format .docx, wohl

Diese werden leider beim Öffnen mit OpenOffice Writer nicht

Gibt es eine Chance, die Formeln doch noch angezeigt zu bekommen?


AOO kann das neue Formelformat von MS Word (noch) nicht lesen. 
Installiere dir LibreOffice, dort ist der Filter schon eingebaut 
(zumindest in der Windows-Version). In LibreOffice kannst du die Datei 
dann in das odt-Format abspeichern.


Oder, falls du die Datei nur lesen möchtest, bitte deine Kollegin, das 
Dokument zusätzlich im Word 97-2003-Format abzuspeichern. Dann werden 
die Formeln in Grafiken umgewandelt und sollten dann auch lesbar sein.


Oder bitte deine Kollegin, nicht das neue Formelformat zu benutzen, 
sondern das alte Formelformat, was eine spezielle Version von MathType 
ist. Sie findet es unter Einfügen  Objekt  Microsoft Formeleditor 3.0


Oder, wieder nur für Lesen, existiert für Mac ein WordViewer? Der könnte 
eventuell auch in der Lage sein die Formeln anzuzeigen.


Oder nochmals für nur Lesen, bitte deine Kollegin, das Dokument 
zusätzlich im pdf-Format zu speichern. Das kann Word 2010 auch.

Regina

Re: Word-Dateien sollen nicht umgewandelt werden

2013-08-13 Thread Werner Warweg 

Hallo, Claudia,

mache den Explorer von Windows auf.  Das geht mit der Windowstaste und 
der Taste E.


Dann gehe mit der Maus auf eine Datei mit der Erweiterung .doc und 
klicke die einmal an.


Dann rechte Maustaste und in dem neuen Menü nach Öffnen mit gehen.

Dann schau mal, ob Word angeboten wird.

 * Wenn ja --  dieses Anklicken und einen Haken bei Anwendung immer
   mit diesem Programm öffnen.
 * Wenn nein -- suche unter Programme word.exe und wähle das aus. Dann
   einen Haken bei Anwendung immer mit diesem Programm öffnen.


Schon drängelt sich OO nicht mehr vor.

Die Texte der Menüs und Auswahlen kann variieren, je nachdem, was Du für 
ein Betriebssystem hast.  Bei Windows 8 schlägt der PC Dir Apps statt 
Programme vor. Das ist aber das Entsprechende.


Bei der nächsten Installation evtl. schauen, ob ein Häkchen bei 
Office-Programme mit OO gesetzt ist.


Hoffe, das hilft.

Schönen Tagnoch
