Like Alexandro points out, OOo Draw is an option. It's pretty good and=20
getting better. I've used it for posters and diagrams.

I have no idea what MS Publisher is, but guessing from the first response,=
=20
there might be three more options besides OOo Draw:

+ Scribus
=09http://www.scribus.net/
+ Inkscape
=09http://www.inkscape.org/
+ Karbon14
=09http://www.koffice.org/karbon/

It's also possible to use a combination, creating parts in one and then=20
importing in another playing on the strengths of each application.

Regardless, be sure that the tool(s) you do decide to use support=20
reasonable file formats like Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) and/or=20
OpenDocument Format (ODF) Otherwise, you may find it difficult to re-use=

your work at a future date.

[discuss] openoffice impress

Posted: 26 Apr 2007 11:05 AM PDT

> I seek to record an open presentation Impress office with the format 

It doesn't seem you can do this from a 'save as' within Impress. The
only file formats you can save as are ones that will save it as
another presentation type (eg, powerpoint).

One possible solution would be to craft your presentation in such a
way that all entries appear in the 'outline' tab. This is basically a
text outline of what is in each of the slides. From that view you can
'select all' then copy and paste into a writer document for further
editing.

[discuss] Difference between StarOffice and OpenOffice.org

Hi,
I tried Star Office along time ago and couldn't register it since the
company's website wouldn't take the code. I gave up and am now using Open Office,
which is a great product.

[discuss] macro to save as PDF (or HTML)

Your version is quite old. Please update to version 2.2. I doubt that
looking for bugs in an old version is what anybody would like to do. In
case your macro still doesn't work in 2.2 please send your question to
the mailing list openoffice.org.

Ciao,
Mathias

to change the default properties for graphic objects, just do not select
any one of them. Then change the line style, colors, and so on, using

[discuss] Is this more than just brute force??

If GRS selected a weak password such as "5Y^+@x", then it should have

would take longer --- much longer. [ "5Y^+@x" is a dictionary word, for
those who are wondering why it is a weak password.]
 

The web site implied it was optimized for brute force attacks. Assuming
that the password frequency dictionaries are still available, use
several of them, then run thru the user dictionaries, and regular
dictionaries, then start your brute force, try every possible
combination of characters attack.

Hei,
 

sounds like a reasonable option, although it takes away attribute
discoverability. I'd generally love the styles to behave more like CSS
styles.

Did you check if a bug for the whole topic is filed, yet?
