"If you have something good then stay with it!" Oh, yes, but I like to try new things now and again. From what I've read, screenshots I've seen, from what I've seen for myself, and from watching it a couple of years, Evo would most likely be my choice if and when I decide to move to Ubuntu. We are a bit off topic, but it does look like I'm coming to a better understanding of Impress through the documentation file!!! Its crazy that your recommendation came within an hour of when I downloaded all the files. Roxy
Hi :) I have a feeling that PocoMail might run in Wine on Gnu&Linux or Mac or whatever.� If you already do have something you trust then stick with it.� MS stuff seems to be really tricky to get working in Wine but most other stuff works quite well.� It's a bit hit&miss and sometimes takes a bit of work but they have forums to help (they aren't very noob-tolerant tho).� In Gnu&Linux it's better to try to stick to Gnu&Linux programs but it's not essential!� Apparently some Windows programs (err, games tbh) have run faster under Wine than they ran on Windows!� I'm not sure what Ubuntu's plans are for email and calendar.� There are several rumours flying around but i like the idea of staying with Evo even tho i don't use it myself!� They seem a good bunch.� Anyway this is all a lot off-topic!� If you have something good then stay with it! :) Regards from Tom :) --- On Thu, 6/10/11, ycor <[hidden email]> wrote: From: ycor <[hidden email]> Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: Adding a song to an Impress presentation To: [hidden email] Date: Thursday, 6 October, 2011, 19:51 Tom, I have the most recent Evo - had already had a few comments about it crashing on Win7, but I had to see for myself. There are a couple of "menu options" that every time you select them, it crashes. One that I remember is Folder>Properties. I used Courier for a number of years - it came through the older program, Calypso. When Vista came out it pretty much broke Courier and its programmers worked for over a year trying to make it run properly in Vista. They finally gave up as they felt it needed to be completely redone to make it run in the "post Vista" world. So, the owners - Rose City Software made a deal with PocoMail. The folks there incorporated the most popular parts of Courier into PocoMail and gave all Courier users 1/2 off if they wanted to move. So I now use PocoMail, which is a good program - not open source, but all those do not do the one thing I got spoiled with from Outlook. The ability to edit a received message, plain text or html, within its own window. This was also available in Courier, and is in Pocomail. I haven't found a "free" program that does this yet. I save all the pertinent info from the many newsletters I subscribe to. To me its easy to edit a received message down to just what I want in it, save those in their mail folder until I get say 10 or 12 of them and then cut and past that info into their respective "doc" files. Since its already on my machine, and it is "free" with the OS, I sometimes use Windows Live Email and its probably just as good as any of the other freebies. I'm fairly certain I would probably use Evolution once I start trying Ubuntu. I'm not positive, but it may come on the Ubuntu CD. Roxy Hi :) I think Evo has released a new version very recently, maybe last week or last month or something? Some people prefer to use separate apps to replace Outlook.�� Thunderbird/Claws is good for emailing.�� Claws is much lighter-weight and good for low-spec machines.�� Perhaps try Thunderbird first?�� There are a lot of choices out there and we had a discussion here about the different ones a few months ago.�� There are good options for calendars too apparently or project management if you want something a bit heftier. If you are on Windows then a regular search-engine such as google might give you options but be careful to try to prefer OpenSource and/or Free Software rather than FreeWare!�� Check it's got a GPL or LGPL or MPL licence or feel free to ask somewhere like http://www.linuxquestions.org and just tell them you are trying to be prepared for a slow migration.� Regards from Tom :) --- On Thu, 6/10/11, ycor <[hidden email]> wrote: From: ycor <[hidden email]> Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: Adding a song to an Impress presentation To: [hidden email] Date: Thursday, 6 October, 2011, 17:52 That would be a good suggestion if I were a Linux guy, but I'm on Win7. I do have plans for an added partition for Ubuntu some time in the future. Saw an article the other day M$ is going to make Win8 incompatible with running another OS side by side. Hmm - M$$$$! And, I am most appreciative of all the folks that work with LO, as it is an excellent path/replacement for many $$$ it takes to run M$O!!! Its too bad the same group is not handling Evolution as from what I can tell it is pretty much an "Outlook killer". But it is very unstable on Win7 - so much so I would not depend on it for my email. Roxy Hi :) Impress is not perfect but it is being worked on so if something is not working now it might well be fixed in a scheduled upgrade.��� I don't think this problem is anything like that tho.��� I think it's just that we are being a bit hopeless and don't know a good answer yet.��� There is a LOT of other software out there especially in Gnu&Linux.��� Try a quick search in your package manager and try things out until you find something that doesn't feel too alien.� Hopefully Regina or someone will magically appear and solve it.

Why go outside the program and try to learn something I'm not even familiar with? The biggest problem was that the included program help file does not describe "how" very well.
