[discuss] [moderated] Impress can not play WindowMedia Player

Use a hyperlink to the file eg on my system I go to insert in the

URL box (could link like this eg to YouTube or a web based video
source). This will call up the file called <filename> in my video folder
on my computer and as long as it is associate with an application it
will automatically launch that application to run the video. So you can
run any video in any format not just the ones supported by MS.

When I click the link on the slide it calls up Totem video player and
plays the video. On a windows system it should call up Windows media
player for a WMV file so you have the full functions of your player.
Close it at the end and move to the next slide. I can't really see the
point in going through a load of coding effort to try and guess
Microsoft's video formats which they can and do change at a whim when
you can just use the player that comes with Windows and indeed other
players for other formats - eg mplayer for flash video etc.

[discuss] data importing features on calc

Posted: 26 Mar 2008 09:49 AM PDT

e-mail from Frank Stecher from Hamburg 20097 DE:

Hi,

what's about Insert Sheet from File ? Give it a try.

Frank

That solved my problems, it automatically imported the .txt file into
the spreadsheet without having to first select .csv format.

Thanks Frank!

But if you are importing it as a .csv you can rename it from .txt to
..csv without drama?

Aren't .txt files containing .csv data non standard? (I know .csv is a
type of text data, but calling a car a Ford narrows things down a bit).
This rattles the poor programs paramaters a tad.

[discuss] New Website

Posted: 25 Mar 2008 01:11 AM PDT

this continues to make me worry about the policy of allowing
unsubscribed addresses to post.

A gentleman posted offering the free services of his professional web
development shop, asking who to contact.

Two subscribers hit Reply and answered, but he won't see it.

Hate to revive a dead horse just to beat it one more time, but WHY allow
unsubscribed posts (IMO, should not be allowed, persons who do not wish
to receive list emails can use the forums!) if the headers are not set
up to reply to the author of the post-being-replied-to as well as to the
list?

Should it really be up to Discuss listmates to reveal full headers on
all incoming posts to which they wish to reply, scan through dozens of
header lines looking to see if there is a "Delivered-To: moderator for
org" line, and manually copy the OP's email address
into a cc field?

Even if list admins don't think that is too much to ask, folks just
don't know or don't always remember to do this. It leaves the OP feeling
like there is no community support. Very bad for PR and for expansion of
the user and developer communities.

Hi, Kim.

Kim Gerback. If you did not send the original email, then
please disregard this message. Your email address was
apparently used to spoof this email to a email list run by
a free alternative to Microsoft Office (Open Office) which
does more that Microsoft Office, and is completely FREE.
On the other hand, If you did actually send this misguided,
uneducated message, please read this email as well as any
other emails that are replies to this email. Hopefully,
you'll learn of the errors contained in your statements.

Disclaimer: I'm just a user of ooo (OpenOffice), and thus
cannot be held legally responsible as a representative for
the ooo team or the product. I am merely a happy user of
ooo for almost six years. I will never re-install MS Office,
nor pay Bill Gates for another application, if there is
any way around it.

~ (Hey, ooo guys. Doesn't "Kim" sound like a MS plant, or
~ an MS plant sending email from an SBCGlobal (Yahoo) home
~ email address, or an SBCGlobal account paid for by MS?
~ Anyway...)

I'm sure that you've heard the answer over and over from
many different ooo-discuss readers, both on-list and
off-list.

| make it compatible with Microsoft Word.
If you've actually tried ooo, then you know that ooo *IS*
compatible with MS Word in multiple ways. I supports three
versions of MS Word, as well as compatible file formats.

| I found out that I can't use Open Office documents to
| send them to friends and teachers who have Microsoft
| Word because the file ends up as "corrupted" and cannot
| be opened with Microsoft Word.
If you save your ooo document as RTF (Rich Text File), then
any of your WinDoze Werd email recipients can read your
document perfectly in many different word-processors,
including WordPad... which has been distributed with
WinDoze for almost 10 years or more. Yes, even M$ Werd
can read an RTF perfectly.

| Doesn't do me any good, so I bought Microsoft Office.
Fine. You have made your choice to give Bill Gates and
M$ more money before you even posted to the list.
You may become another non-thinking "clone" willing to
pay big $$$ for substandard piece of software.

(Group: That was the statement that clinched it for me.
~ This post is just hate mail from an M$ employee, who
~ has been tasked with posting a message on the ooo lists,
~ trying to dissuade ooo users from using ooo, incidentally
~ the ooo project is now approved by IBM. I wonder if that
~ means that ooo is going to be under the IBM-Lotus budget.
~ ;) Hmmm, yet another reason for M$ to start fraudulently
~ attacking ooo in any way they can. :) )

Kim Gerback, or whoever you are -
Why didn't you just post this using your microsoft.com or
your msn.com or your hotmail.com email account?
Were you afraid that we wouldn't see through your fraudulent
ruse?

Group: I will forward any "postmaster" responses from
~ SBCGlobal.net, for all on-list to see.

Peace, All.

[discuss] Suggestion for WordPerfect Compatible option

Posted: 22 Mar 2008 10:31 PM PDT

On Wed, Mar 26, 2008 at 3:18 AM, David wrote:
 

Creating a template would be trivial, if one either:
* has the specifications;
* has a working version of the program;

I have no idea if the version of WordPerfect I have, will run on my
current system. (It came with either Mandrake 1.0, or Corel's Linux
Desktop. I use Ubuntu Christian Edition.)
 

OOo menus can be customized to reflect the layout of WordPerfect.
Some, but not all of the keystroke combinations can also be remapped
to that which was used by WordPerfect.

[Personally, I'd rather remap to the WordStar Command set. But that
requires rewriting the OOo code.]

The major feature that WordPerfect users want, that OOo does not
direclty offer is Reveal Codes;

In OOo Reveal codes add zero functionality. None the less, there is
a macro that will provide something similar to Reveal codes in Write,
and a second macro does that for Calc.

Actually the problem is not that, but the UNO API and refactoring. The
problem is that is monolitic and that usually double the resource
(Symbian/WinMobile AND UNO).

However it is possible to have a ODF editor done with the Symbian toolkit
and just have one framework to edit the ODF. As a matter of fact there is
a viewer of ODF in mobile phones which was shown in Barcelona called
SEPT-Mobile Office.

[discuss] Simple Typo

Posted: 13 Mar 2008 01:24 PM PDT

Hi;

This is a grammar trap I have had to look up several times in my life to
get the correct usage of Latin origin words. My main reference is
"Fowler's Modern English Usage". He has several entries under "plurals",
"latin plurals", etc.

It seems to boil down to this:

The English language uses words of Latin origin in three ways.

* Words that have been taken/borrowed from Latin; either directly
or through french; but have become fully integrated into the
English language as English words.
* Words that have a technical meaning; defined by scientists,
mathematicians and other technical writers or speakers. This is
a holdover from the days when Latin was the 'lingua franca' of
early science. Because of this early international scientific
usage and fixed definition they are still considered Latin
words, not absorbed English words.
* And of course, Latin words that are used in Latin phrases and
quotations by Lawyers and Philosophers. They are Latin words
because their original Latin meaning is intended within the
quotation.

Examples of pluralization:

English words, even if the origin was Latin but are now used in common
English, are made plural by adding an 's' -- as would be expected. E.g.
"I have several different formulas I use to pick up girls". Or,"The
formulas used are just basic rules of thumb".

Technical words (math, physics, chemistry etc) are not English, they are
a "lingua franca" of science and don't change in their very specific
meaning.
"This is a formula: A=Pi r ^2"
"These are formulae: A=Pi r ^2, and, a^2=b^2+c^2"

Of course, If you are using Latin phrases or quotations, they should be
pluralized using proper Latin grammar.

In the case mentioned above, OOo should use formulae because it is
making reference to using precise mathematical symbols.

[discuss] Theme support for OpenOffice.

Posted: 11 Mar 2008 01:16 AM PDT

Well actually there is a mild theme support which is that most of the
icons are png and stored under zip files. This files are also stored under
[OpenOffice.org]/share/config/

This has all the iconset stored in zip packages. It wont be that hard to
get a new theme load up (or maybe it does) but would be better to have a
zip with the new theme.

Now I know this might not be all that you wanted and you are looking for
toolkit support. However the toolkit wasn't built for theme in mind and
the actual color scheme would need to be either engineer or activate. This
is easier to ask once we get an actual iconset to work with.
