That's really a format you wish to steer clear of. Keep in mind that
'docx', 'pptx' and 'xlsx' are not documented formats nor is the company
backing them showing any signs of changing its position against
interoperability. Nor are those formats approved standards.

'docx', 'pptx' and 'xlsx' are not widely spread. So best to nip that
problem in the bud and ensure that new documents are created in the
OpenDocument Format. There is a plug-in from Sun that allows legacy
applications to work with ODF:

[discuss] Ia2 Support for open office.

Hi Kevin...

I was in contact with them from time to time - didn't help much...
 

Not sure if there really is such a flag, and if so, if it's for all kind
of AT. The option in OOo is not only needed for screen reader support,
but also for screen magnifiers which want to do focus tracking.

The only reason for the explicit option / registry in OOo is that we
need to launch a JavaVM for AT support, which is time consuming so
shouldn't be done for everyone.

The explicit option shouldn't be needed anymore with IA2, I guess.
 

With IA2 we wouldn't need Java for AT support anymore...
 

Done ;)

Malte.

Hi,
did you see http://download.openoffice.org/index.html? There is a link
called "Peer-to-peer downloads" (http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/).

Enjoy,

[discuss] Newbie w/ Spread sheet question

That said, it /looks/ very much like a spreadsheet to the user. But has
all the "sums" pre-defined, in effect; so you can't get them wrong.

You can use it for anything from a simple, single account, to multiple
accounts and accounting for tax and where everything goes.

Take a look; at worst you can only waste a little time.
 

I'm a little surprised that a google user doesn't seem to have found
their search engine :-) If ever you see a program like 'gnucash' that
you want to know more about, just type it into their [or indeed another]
search engine. There's even an acronym - GIYF or "Google Is Your Friend".

A word of warning - the latest version suitable for most users is 2.2.9;
the most recent release, 2.3.0, is described as "unstable" and
"development" which are code words for "buggy, on test".

Thanks, Peter & thanks, Tony.
It seems like an unnecessary extra step to register a data source, but
maybe I'm not thinking clearly.
I'll try this again.

PS. I was pleased to see that 3.1 opened a *.docx file with no problem.

[discuss] security poster

Posted: 01 Jun 2009 04:36 AM PDT

Hi Harry, *

it seems that your poster didn't reach this list, as the mailserver
strips off most attachments.

If you want to, you may upload it to tour wiki:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Special:Upload (please add a
word about the licensing in the comment in order to make it reusable by
others)

Once uploaded you might include it in the Additional Artwork Galleries:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Art/Gallery

And if you are interested in doing more artwork for OpenOffice.org,
don't hesitate to join the Art Project and our mailing list
openoffice.org

Best regards

Bernhard

Sadly it may be an indication of how low a profile OOo really has that there
has been almost no comment/probing around these subjects in the IT industry

they can encrypt addresses as explained at http://gmane.org/tmda.php
how to use it is explained at http://gmane.org/faq.php

Note that encryption will bring in some challenge-response scheme,
which is a major annoyance.

[discuss] taking the survey

Posted: 10 May 2009 04:39 PM PDT

I managed it and had forgotten that point. If I remember correctly, it
lists languages in English once you change to English. In some other
places, I have seen each language with its own name, e.g.
Deutsch
English
Francais (Yes, I know I didn't put the cedilla, but that would take more
time than typing this caveat.)
Perhaps next time someone works on the survey, this could be changed.

[discuss] Work Presentation

Posted: 31 Mar 2009 08:58 PM PDT

On Thu, 02 Apr 2009 15:07:04 +1300
Came this utterance formulated by Graham Lauder to my mailbox:
 

Updated version on the blog now. A lot of the support data has moved to
the notes.
http://whyodf.blogspot.com/2009/04/presentation-version-101.html
Still got a lot more to do, like replacing text with graphics where i
can.

On of the pages in the presentation you linked too has a big number 50
on the slide with no indication what it means?

Also got an interesting blog comment from someone called open_sauce on
the earlier post. They admonished me to give an "objective comparison"
then debated my points. In a debate one takes sides, not making a
balanced comparison (which is subjective anyway) {shrug}, kind of
negates his own argument. But i intent to blog a point by point reply.
