OK, I located that file as /usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.1/share/config/soffice.cfg/modules/swform/statusbar/statusbar.xml which made me wonder whether I'm using 3.2 at all. In fact, when I do Help -> About I get: "OpenOffice.org 3.1.1", so perhaps the version numbering in Debian does not follow the upstream scheme. At any rate, I found a directory in my user profile: ~/.openoffice.org/3/user/config/soffice.cfg/modules/swform/statusbar/ but it was empty. The contents of /usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.1/share/config/soffice.cfg/modules/swform/statusbar/statusbar.xml are: ---<--------------------cut here---------------start------------------->--- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE statusbar:statusbar PUBLIC "-//OpenOffice.org//DTD OfficeDocument 1.0//EN" "statusbar.dtd"> <statusbar:statusbar xmlns:statusbar="http://openoffice.org/2001/statusbar"; xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";> <statusbar:statusbaritem xlink:href=".uno:StatePageNumber" statusbar:align="left" statusbar:autosize="true" statusbar:width="54" statusbar:helpid="helpid:21181"/> <statusbar:statusbaritem xlink:href=".uno:PageStyleName" statusbar:align="left" statusbar:autosize="true" statusbar:width="79" statusbar:helpid="helpid:21182"/> <statusbar:statusbaritem xlink:href=".uno:Zoom" statusbar:align="center" statusbar:width="35" statusbar:helpid="helpid:10000"/> <statusbar:statusbaritem xlink:href=".uno:InsertMode" statusbar:align="center" statusbar:width="37" statusbar:helpid="helpid:10221"/> <statusbar:statusbaritem xlink:href=".uno:SelectionMode" statusbar:align="center" statusbar:width="30" statusbar:helpid="helpid:21185"/> <statusbar:statusbaritem xlink:href=".uno:ExecHyperlinks" statusbar:align="center" statusbar:width="22" statusbar:helpid="helpid:21186"/> <statusbar:statusbaritem xlink:href=".uno:ModifiedStatus" statusbar:align="center" statusbar:ownerdraw="true" statusbar:width="9" statusbar:helpid="helpid:5584"/> <statusbar:statusbaritem xlink:href=".uno:Signature" statusbar:align="center" statusbar:ownerdraw="true" statusbar:width="16" statusbar:helpid="helpid:5699"/> <statusbar:statusbaritem xlink:href=".uno:Size" statusbar:align="left" statusbar:autosize="true" statusbar:ownerdraw="true" statusbar:width="129" statusbar:helpid="helpid:10224"/> </statusbar:statusbar> ---<--------------------cut here---------------end--------------------->--- So I created ~/.openoffice.org/3/user/config/soffice.cfg/modules/swform/statusbar/statusbar.xml as a copy of the system-wide file and inserted the code you suggested before the last closing tag (</statusbar:statusbar>). This didn't make the OOo Base forms display the zoom slider. So I guess the zooming functionality is available in 3.1.1, just not the slider. I found a post suggesting the use of the keyboard shortcut CTRL mouse-roller which does give control over the zooming in the forms. Thanks to both of you for the helpful hints! -- Seb --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@dba.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@dba.openoffice.org
