Much more pressure on MS as Google could promote ODF on all the
searches. Just think about it. Every time someone goes to Google,
they get a download link. Also StarOffice could be promoted more.

And as others have said, lots of programming support.

[discuss] OOo Writer Crashing

start it 

When mine does that,
1. I back up all my files and backup files from the directory
2. Try running install again, choosing Repair.
3. If that doesn't work, then uninstall everything and rename any
directories remaining
4. Reinstall, like new.

That usually works for me.

Os,
Richard.

[discuss] Installing Open Office 2

If you prefer to remain un-annoyed, why not pay attention to the
installer before erupting? Checking Custom, rather than Default
installation allows you to change the installation directory to anything
you wish.

[discuss] Unclear p2p version specification

He knows what JRE means - it's the "w/" that's not clear!
Conventionally, "w/" means "with", and "wo/" is used for "without", but
many people will not know this.
Further confusion arises:
Does it mean "package includes JRE", or "Windows which already has the
JRE installed"
I'm sure context is everything, but a few more words wouldn't go amiss.

there was a interest article published on IBM site about how to import XML
into calc. Perhaps it will be a good start. But the answer is simple XSLT.

[discuss] finding paragraph marks

Posted: 14 Mar 2006 04:05 PM PST

<<As I said in my previous post, '^$' finds empty paragraphs. You have to
select 'More Options' and then check 'Regular expressions' for it to
work. I've no idea where '^p' comes from, but you are correct; it does
nothing useful.>>

^p is the code used by Microsoft Word, at least in Word 2000
