Tough to say where this
conversation should be held,
but in my mind I would use a live cd
then mount the HFS partition and then
check /etc/passwd/group(or whatever mac uses for
it's password mgnt) then go from there.

Subject: [users] OO 3.0.1
Reply-To: [email protected]
Friends -
Sorry to bother; I have no technical background so your help pages
on the
web aren't helpful.
I've been running OpenOffice without incident on XP for over a year,
but
it suddenly decided it won't open existing files, neither those from
OO nor
MS. If I create a new document or spreadsheet it functions the same
as an
older file: Whether clicking on the file icon or "Open a document"
from
the main menu, OO loads slowly, struggles with the file, then
flashes back to
my MS "desktop." When the problem first appeared I copied the files
to a
portable hard drive, where they work fine on a different computer
using OO.
I occasionally get an error message citing Soffice.bin as the issue.
Soffice.bin is also named as a file that won't close when I shut
down the
machine.
I've done the uninstall/install routine three times for OO, and
twice for
JAVA. In laymen's terms, how do I "fix" OO?
Thanks in advance for your help and patience.

Reply-To: [email protected]
Dear Open Office,
I have just upgraded to OO,3 and when opening previous documents
(saved in rtf) some of the paragraphs come out in a different colour,
I tried altering them all back and saving/saving as and after closing
them and re opening the paragraphs were again different colours.
This doesn't happen when using MS 'Word' also 'Word's' grammar and
spellchecker seems to suggest more appropriate use of semicolons
where I used comma's.
Hope this is of use as I liked using 'Writer'.
I have just started submitting work to publishers and they seem to
want manuscripts in word, don't know what I can do to push your
product forward.
Regards Tony Keith.

To NoOp: I did try Linux for two years, and could NOT understand it
nor
get enough help on a couple of points that would have made the
difference! My local supposed guru could care less to help people
learn
Linux, unless you have a specific laptop and what he considers the
proper version! Needless to say, I dropped Linux a few months ago,
and,
believe me, with my blood pressure and hypertension, I did NOT need
the
aggravation! For 2 solid years I tried to learn and got no help, NADA,
ZIP, other than over the internet, which meant LOOOONG distance. IF
there is a LINUX that is user friendly, I CANNOT find it, and, I even
tried Ubuntu, to NO AVAIL! I hope that by the time MSFT drops support
for Win XP altogether, MAYBE then there will be a really usable
version
of LINUX, but until then I am stuck with Windows! :-(
Part of the problem John, is starting to use windows n the first
place. I
came to linux from a full blown Amiga, and before that a trash 80 color
computer. The amiga busted its gut and got retired, but the coco is
still
operational, in fact I have 2 sessions of minicom accessing it right
now, one
of them over bluetooth.
Out of all the linux boxes here, 5, this is the only fedora based
box. One is
running busybox/dd-wrt, one is semi-retired, and 2 are running
kubuntu of one
flavor or another, one fixed where its at by virtue of running emc to
run my
small milling machine, the other is an experimental box called goat
cuz its
sacrificial.
Not having learned most of the bad habits of windows has made it a
lot easier
for me to use linux. And starting out with the coco and os9 as its
os, I had
a lot of the *nix stuff already burned into my being before there was
even a
windows to run.
BTW, I'm 74. And of course, YMMV. :) This list knows well that I
still have
to yell for help.
