Those reading may refer to my earlier email regarding problems making the page numbers visible in a header.
Reponses to that email indicate that I may have a bug in the pre-installed version on my computer - version 3.2, linux ubuntu. I downloaded a package from the openoffice.org http://download.openoffice.org/other.html#tested-full picked English(US) and Linux 32-bit Intel DEB and I got the following: OOo_3.3.0_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz I untarred it and looked at the install instructions that were in the readme folder. Relevant are as follows: """" There is a wide variety of Linux distributions, and even within the same distribution there may be different installation options (KDE vs Gnome, etc.). Some distributions ship with their own ‘native’ version of OpenOffice.org, which may have different features from this Community OpenOffice.org. Sometimes you can install the Community OpenOffice.org alongside the ‘native’ version. However, it’s usually safer to remove the ‘native’ version before installing this Community version. Consult the documentation for your distribution for details of how to do this. """ I then removed all of the existing version 3.2 from my system As you can see, instructions are pretty vague. There is one executable file in the root folder: 'update', which when executed, as in sudo ./update tells me in so many words that it is skipping everything. """ in part: Skipping deselected package ooobasis3.3-core07. Skipping deselected package ooobasis3.3-en-us-math. Skipping deselected package ooobasis3.3-calc. Skipping deselected package ooobasis3.3-core03. Skipping deselected package openoffice.org3-calc. Skipping deselected package openoffice.org3-dict-en. Skipping deselected package ooobasis3.3-core06. Skipping deselected package ooobasis3.3-impress. Skipping deselected package openoffice.org3-math. Skipping deselected package openoffice.org3-draw. Skipping deselected package ooobasis3.3-en-us-draw. ..... """ Grrr! I see multiple .deb files in the /DEBS folder, but I kind of expect a master install file of some sort. Looking at http://download.openoffice.org/common/instructions.html#other_linux I see nothing helpful about installing debian-style packages. Again Grrr! Well, I've gone from bad to worse. Now I have no OO at all and maybe some kind person can enlighten me where to go from here. l8tr -- Tim tim at johnsons-web.com or akwebsoft.com http://www.akwebsoft.com -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] with Subject: help
