[discuss] Any MS Outlook in OpenOffice

Posted: 07 Jun 2008 10:41 AM PDT

Nokia, with the exception of the occasional MS mole or two, has as a
company policy of strong support for open standards and lately even open
source. The next platforms are to be built on a modified Debian called
Maemo and even sponsoring porting Ubuntu to the ARM architecture.

If they don't sync with your Nokia. It should sync, but if it doesn't
then that capability is probably not far off. Be sure to file bug
reports on both sides.

Inkscape is similar to OOo and good for graphic design for pages.
www.inkscape.org. A key difference is Inkscape's full support for the
svg standard.

Inkscape is an Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities
similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Xara X, using the W3C standard
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format.

Inkscape supports many advanced SVG features (markers, clones, alpha
blending, etc.) and great care is taken in designing a streamlined
interface. It is very easy to edit nodes, perform complex path
operations, trace bitmaps etc.

A combination of Inkscape and OOo Writer or Scribus is going to give you
a far more professional publishing product than MS Publisher.

[discuss] [dev] Suggestions for a new Community Council structure

Hi,

Datatude schrieb: 

I'd guess you never tried. Just use Chatzilla (FF-Extension
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/16) and use
irc://irc.freenode.net/#openoffice.org

There are many clients, that have a better user interface but provide
the same simple way of system integration but have no vendor lock-in in
to one server system.

For the meeting about disussing Community (council) ideas: we first
should setup a time, provide the URL for easy log in to have a number of
interested people. At the moment I only see two people (you and me)
discussion the idea of a chat .. that is by far to few people to be
relevant "for the community".

There are so many free and open web development suites out there, why
not use one of them.

I prefer Quanta Plus
http://quanta.kdewebdev.org/

It is Linux only.

It has a full project management package. If I do editting for a whole
site, it will then upload all the changes at once. Nice feature for
projects.

Download SeaMonkey as it has a full editor with it.

Hi!

(1) AutoCorrect is language-sensitive.
Note that some typos in one language can make senese in another one.
Thus you must assure that you have the desired AutoCorrection entries
for the same language that is set in the document.

(2) When adding AutoText entries...
After you entered the "Replace" and "With" field, you have to click
"New" in to get that entry into the list. Only clicking "OK" quits the
dialog without adding anything to the list.

Hope this helped.

Stefan

[discuss] [OT] Linux talk on WizIQ for June 3rd

Posted: 25 May 2008 01:38 PM PDT

Well the talk won't be focused as much on OpenOffice.org (I will be doing
OOo on a different talk). But yeah is a great idea to talk about Linux
could run on Mac althought I will have to be careful since most Mac OS7/8
will so little RAM that it might not be able for OOo 2.x to run.

Also yellow dog linux might be too fat nowadays too.

Hi Marty --

I'm just another OOo user, not a representative of OOo in any way. I
just thought to ask, have you also posted to OpenOffice-related
discussion groups using the address being spammed? When you post to
discussion lists your address is revealed, which would make it possible
that a spammer simply harvested your email address (and thousands of
others) from list mail and/or archives.

[discuss] About Filter Data, please help me.

Posted: 17 May 2008 04:44 PM PDT

2008/5/18 NoOp <net>:
 

I have recently seen a similar issue with autofilter for a file imported
from Excel.
Make sure you remove any custom defined ranges as this is what very often
causes the problem.
1) remove the autofilter
Data > Filter > Autofilter

2) Remove any pre-defined range
Data > Define Range
then select any range in the list and press Delete.

3) try the auto filter now
Data > Filter > Autofilter

[discuss] How can I remove the language attribute from textin Writer?

Posted: 13 May 2008 01:21 AM PDT

Cor Nouws wrote: 

You know it:

Set the default language to "English (US)"

Enter in two lines of text with random text with an Enter at the end.
(You might include "colour" in the first line and "color" in the second
line)

Highlight the first line & make it as "English (GB)". (The word "colour"
will no longer have redline)

Copy something from the middle of the second line. (Eg: Use the word
"color")

Paste it in middle of the first line as unformatted text or
OpenOffice.org text.

Put the cursor in the middle where the text was pasted. It still reads
"English (GB)", the word "color" is redlined and paste is not 100%
completely unformatted.
 

But it is still an attribute of the text which is stored in
Paragraph/Character styles. I'd excepted that "Reset" and "Default
Formatting" should remove a layer of formatting per application.
 

Why languages are still selectable in that pane anyway? If I press
"Reset", I expect all overriding attributes in that pane to be cleared
including language.

Maybe if you move the languages under its own pane in the style editor
where the "Reset" button would make proper sense. Note! There are three
languages in the style editor, but not one. I have CJK & CTL modes
enabled. I generally need to use Ruby & other CJK formatting in my STL
documents.

Someday, it may be possible for a font to have metadata to allow some
the glyphs to appear different for certain languages. I don't know any
rendering engines or fonts that supports such metadata, but I put that
there for a possibility. This metadata feature would be especially
useful for Pan-CJK fonts & Pan-Unicode fonts.

Yet! Why there isn't a "Reset All" button to have a Reset to include
Language, or an "Advanced Reset" to allow me to Reset on per-attribute
basis.

I want full control of document formatting. The inability of or
complications in removing non-stylesheet language formatting doesn't
meet that goal.
 

That maybe a possibility if double-click on paragraph style's name twice
is implemented. Also, a triple click to remove non-stylesheet language.

As a sidenote! I can't override "Default" character style definition,
but I can override the "Default" paragraph style definition.
 

I'd not expect to write English in an Esperanto paragraph, and vice
versa. :-)
 

Here is another example for use of "default" language:

If I am composing educational documents with versions for different
English language markets. The documents contains intentional examples of
regional variations with manual language formatting.

When I ready to create a version of a document for a English Language
market. I just change the language dialect of the paragraph style to see
the red lines for color/colour, etc. for fixing up spelling, but all
intentional examples containing regional variation examples will not be
affected by the redline effect.

Another example that I might be writing a script for a stageshow which
contains characters who use different dialects of English and/or foreign
languages, but I want all the non-dialog text (eg: Instructions for
actors) to be only in a single English dialect.
 

Look, the paragraph/character stylesheets still have language options.
If you say that language is no longer stylesheet related, wy are they
"still" there in stylesheet options?

You don't realize that some languages may have different paragraph
layout requirements so the language attribute is an important part of
the paragraph stylesheet.

The stylesheet linked "default" language behaviour still exists in
OpenOffice.org 2.4 try it.

I create a new style "Default (GB)" which is a copy of "Default" but
with "English (GB)". The original default is set to "English (US)"

I write line of text with paragraph style "Default". (Use example text
"color colour")

Put the cursor in the middle of line, bottom of screen reads "English (US)".

I change the line to paragraph style "Default (GB)"

The bottom of screen reads "English (GB)"

I change the line back to paragraph style "Default"

The bottom of screen reads "English (US)"

Yep! The "Default" language is still linked to stylesheets. I still
consider that language is an attribute of paragraph and character. Why
the stylesheet options for them still have language options in them?

Without the ability to easily remove non-stylesheet languages, I would
have to write a OpenDocument XML tool to strip all non-stylesheet
languages to correct theis "problem" which 2.4 had created.

Yep! The language attribute in Character/Paragraph styless still exist
at OpenDocument.org XML level.


Next, you would say that you can't remove |lang:en-US> in the future
"Reveal-Codes" enabled version of OpenOffice.org

[discuss] Asking about OpenOffice for smartphone

Hi Mathias,

Thanks for the tip, I'll be sure to share this with Palm Addict readers. Palm Addict (http://palmaddict.typepad.com/palmaddicts) is one of most active weblog, with over 30 posts per day. And we're not talking about just Palm, but also other mobile phones as well. I'm pretty sure those who own Symbian phone will be glad to hear this. ;-)


Best regards,

Hi Andy,

there is no OOo for Smartphones but at least there is an ODF viewer (and
editor IIRC) for Symbian devices: http://www.sept-solutions.com.

Ciao,

it will not work).

So, Ed, can you change to Firefox? Its a great browser.

I second the request.

I'd also like to see a decent replacent for Front Page. I know, there are
tons of HTML editors for linux, but nothing similar to FrontPage. Besides, I
want it integrated with OpenOffice.org.
