OOo 2.1, WinXP
I'm trying to add the text-to-columns macro but when I open the
Extensions Manager, I can only add to "My" extensions, not the Open
Office extensions which are available to all users.
Anyone know why? Did I install OOo wrong (I don't recall being able to
choose installing just for my user or for all)? The Application Data
for the All Users documents and settings folder doesn't have an entry
for Open Office, while my own user folder does.
Finally, this maybe a WinXP question, but anyone know if it's possible
to change OOo to all users once it's been installed, or do I have to
remove and then re-install OOo?
Thanks,

I use Linux but I doubt that you did anything wrong. OOo seems to cater
primarily for single users. It may have caught up with multi-user
environments next century, by which time we'll all be using Google docs
anyway. OOoTech may have a way for Windows networks to install extensions
for all users but you may have to pay for the method:

Thanks. I didn't realize installing in a server environment was so
involved. In any case, I may have misunderstood my own problem. I
thought the issue of installing extensions for all users was relative to
all user accounts on a single computer vs just for the user who
installed OOo. Since I currently have only one user account set up (may
be adding another soon, hence my question) I thought it'd install in the
All Users profile and be available to any account on the computer. In
any case, that's what I wanted to do. I'll create a dummy account and
see if text-to-columns works there, in which case my question may be moot.
On a related note, I wish the text-to-columns macro (and all macros)
included in their instructions not to un-zip the package as that would
have saved me a bunch of grief. It's not mine so I can't change it.
Better yet, OOo would include this feature in the code itself.
