[ MODERATED ] ********************
Hello
I have just installed Open Office 2.0 which I purchased from your
Adelaide
(Australia.) distributor. I use windows 98 Se on Pentium III
I have had 2 crashes:
1.. Trying to make a justified form from a table using Date fields - I
had no problem if the form style was a table, but the other crashed. I
had
no problem with any other type of field provided no date field was used.
I
tried changing the format of the date field to no avail. Any suggestions?
Can you please download and try 2.0.1 as many bugs were fixed ?
2.. When I tried to sent off the report of a crash which comes in the
recovery, it also crashed. I don't think it went out but the computer
registered a failure and closed the program In addition:-
1.. When I brought in a database from MS Access the queries in access
were converted to tables - useless. It did not bring in forms or
reports -
this I can live with.
This is indeed not yet supported in OOo 2.0
But having to either modify or delete the once
queries is annoying 2.. When I brought in Lotus Approach instead of
bringing in a single desired program it bought in all 5 which were in the
Lotus work folder - could be useful, could be a pest. Would rather only
the
selected one - I used the DBF to get these files. For some time I have
used
Open Office 1.1. A Base was badly needed.
I haven't tried with 2.0 but I have a problem in 1.1 with changing the
default spreadsheet and write page to that which I require. It always
reverts to your standard default. Can This be done - your column widths,
fonts and margins do not suit me and I find having to bring in a template
a
bit of a pain.
If you have already figured out how to define your own template, then
making
that the default is quite easy :
Files -> Templates -> Organize then select the new default template, and
in
the Commands menu use "Set as default".
