Yeah it is all a bit confusing isn't it? I think it means that you

c'mon people get over it! on the interweb thingy there are always
going to be rude and insensitive bozos like this one who only think in
upper case and can't be bothered to look for an unsubscribe link. I
really think we could give up responding to posts like this one and
get back to more productive work

Oh yes, to Christine Hanley - may the fleas of a thousand afghan
camels infest your armpits and may the posts from a hundred thousand
professional spammers infest your inbox daily, before breakfast

Hi Bernhard,

Yes I am aware of the repositories. I was not aware of the voting
results and will check them out.
 

I am not to sure of download counts. I have downloaded a lot from both
repositories that I only loaded long enough to see what they were.
Others that I still have loaded are not used. What I was trying to do,
to not great avail, was find out what is actually being used.
 

If people actually voted for the extensions they use on a regular basis
that would be better.

Of course you are welcome to discuss ideas in this forum if you wish to know
if they will be acted on or not. The best way to get your idea to reality,
short of writing the code yourself, is to pay a developer. Most user ides are
unlikely to get included unless they have mass appeal or are useful minor
tweaks.

[discuss] Moving lists to 'new' Nabble

Posted: 14 Feb 2010 11:10 AM PST

Dear Paul: 
I've no idea on how nabble works (never used it). Do you currently access
Nabble through NNTP?

A quick search indicates that it may not be possible moving forward (

Assuming you are using OOo 3.x simply putting a dictionary file into a
directory is *not* sufficient. The dictionary must be implemented as an
*extension* (.oxt file) and installed via the Extension Manager. See
<http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Extension_Dictionaries> for a
little more information. To discuss this in more detail send questions
to <openoffice.org>.

[discuss] Question/Suggested addition

Posted: 03 Feb 2010 08:08 AM PST

Hi Carl:

Yes, they are different. It looks like you saw my email to Paula.
Long before I saw Oo around, in DOS, I was a user of generic CADD 5 and 6.

In its time it came on 6 1.44 Mb. Floppies.

By the time I left it, I was filling a 100 Mb. Zip disk with the results of
my work.

I used it in connection with an industrial electronics service business I
had at the time. On one occasion I was able to semi-automatically duplicate
a schematic while renumbering all the component numbers in the process to
end up with a schematic of a dual architecture machine schematic for
packaging frozen vegetables.

I think this would also be feasible in Oo Draw, but visually, the operation
would look very different from my old DOS counterpart.

If one was doing this from a text script of the vectors, they could do a lot
of selective auto-creation by dumping the vector text into a spreadsheet and
doing transformations, then re-dumping the contents back (through a DOS text
file to get rid of the spreadsheet formatting stuff), then back to the CAD
import.

In the case of Draw, the spreadsheet would be of some help, but you would
need to use it as a step by step guide while the actual work was done by
copying the block as a group, then ungrouping and doing a find/replace on
the drawing elements. This would need to be done in an extra page as a means
of preventing the find/replace from tampering with the half that was not to
be modified. Then group the changed objects, copy, paste and position in the
original page, ungroup both halves (optional), then regroup the whole thing
and size and center as a big group.

BTW, Draw can also support hierarchal groups within groups, as well (I
think) as parallel groups (This would depend on how Draw reads its grouping
codes.) This could also be tested ad hoc. That is the kind of tinkering I
always have an extra directory/folder called "experiments" for!

Over the years, I have done a lot of reinventing the wheel because I was not
satisfied with the wheels I found - definitely an out of the box thinker!

I have also worked since with AutoCAD and seen a number of other Cad
programs. Presently I prefer to use Oo Draw for that stuff as long as it can
be 2D (but actually, having come from the drafting board days originally, I
think one could nicely do double auxiliary projections in Oo Draw if they
really wanted to represent 3D to scale in there, but I wonder how many today
would know how to read them any more.)

It is very possible to control object sizes numerically in Draw. It's just
that the way it is done is somewhat different from a true Cad program.

Recently I saw an article from someone in an American University that was
using Draw somewhat this way, but I must admit that I though I felt more
comfortable with Draw than the article suggested he might have.

Cheers,

Bruce M.

I've used swriter for years, and never use the default page border format
except for quick notes to myself and as a scratch pad to copy from and paste
to another document or application.* For things that others will see, I have
created blank templates for the various documents I produce, eg. letters,
documents, pleadings and envelopes, that I can open with as few keystrokes
as the default page.* I can customize them any way I find useful, and it is
not hard to do.* Bet students could easily do this, and enjoy taking control
of their lives.* My templates generally have a "first page" with a header,
and a "default" second page with a footer containing a page number.

Haven't thought about text boxes, Is it something different from "frames?"*

good luck,

Carl

Dear OpenOffice,

This question is in regards to text boxes in OpenOffice Writer. I was
looking for a way to insert a text box, without going to the Drawing
toolbar. The drawing toolbar is not visible on our student's computer in the
library lab. Therefore, they search for it under "Insert", which would be a
logical place to find this option. However, I do not see it listed there.
Possible feature to be added in the future?

Also, most documents assigned at the high school level (and possibly
college) require 1" margins. Why are the defaults all set at .79? Another
possible future change?

Looking forward to any new editions!

Sincerely yours,

One thing you probably have not realised yet is that there is an
amazing community of people associated with OpenOffice.org, who
