[discuss] Multi-Sheets in OpenOffice Writer?

Posted: 25 Feb 2007 04:28 PM PST

>firstly there is already a notes system in openoffice and MS 

I'm not the OP, but I'm another person who'd like this kind of feature. Insert Notes works fine for little notes, especially about specific points in the document, but it's not what we want. It doesn't help with managing a writing project. I think what the OP and I both want is some way to associate a second document with the main document and have it open whenever the main document is opened. There are ways to work around the need, such as using a master doc to manage the project with associated project docs (outlines, notes, planning docs, to-dos, etc.) as subdocs, but that's not as convenient as something like a second sheet or some other way of associating documents might be. Especially in a muti-chapter project where I already have a master document.

I work in both Linux and Windows. In Windows, there's a little freeware app called Stickies that gives me part of what I'm looking for. Unlike other sticky note apps, Stickies lets me attach notes to documents so they open automatically with the document. I can keep notes or links to more detailed notes on a sticky that comes up with the document. I find it useful, but limited, and not nearly as elegant as a solution within OOo would be. I haven't found anything quite like it in Linux. The downside, of course, is the notes are only there on one machine, instead of being a part of the document, available wherever I work.

When I was experimenting with different word processing apps (which led me to OOo), I tried a program called RoughDraft. At least I think that's the one, anyway. It has a notepad pane in its UI, where you keep your project notes handy. I liked that, but didn't much care for the program itself.

[discuss] Save a copy for OOo?

Posted: 23 Feb 2007 02:46 PM PST

Sorry andrew but that's not what he means

A "save a copy" is where the file gets saved but then it doesn't
switch to that file as the file being 'edited' so for example you
could be editing foobar.odt and save a copy as foobar.doc to test how
well it opens in MS word

but since you 'saved a copy' rather than just saved you can open the
file without it being locked, and whenever you save the file again
it'll still save it to foobar.odt

Abiword has this. As does a lot of other open source apps. OpenOffice
seems not to have bothered just because MS hasn't bothered, even
though it's probably simple to implement.

[discuss] Vote for more pretty default colors in charts

Ingrid Halama írta: 
Also, your colors look promising. Can you send me the list of colors
where you specify the RGB values of these colors? I would like to
redesign the current color palette of OpenOffice.org.

[discuss] contribution offer...

Posted: 20 Feb 2007 04:19 PM PST

Hello Matt,

the last release of en-GB was for OpenOffice.org 2.0.2 but at that time
language packs weren't distributed into the mirror network because they
got no QA approval.

http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=62891

Builds for en-GB language packs are still built and can be found on one
of our extended mirrors for 2.1.0rc2 and 2.2.0rc1.

http://distribution.openoffice.org/mirrors/#extmirrors

These are release candidates. If you're interested into doing QA for
these builds then you're invited to help. If you need help then please
subscribe to dev@l10n and/or to There you'll find several people
doing l10n QA and release tests for other native lang builds.

....and please read this:

http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/NLC:ReleaseChecklist
 

Kind regards, Joost

[discuss] Windows Vista Support ?

Even 1.1.3 worked on my vista machine. Used it very briefly, just to see if it worked, and found that it would do whatever I asked of it as a word processor, saving and opening only sxw documents. Replaced it with 2.0 and continue to do productive work.
