Bill

Thanks for clearing the matter up.

May I suggest a clear out of these old e-mails from your machine and
then there can be no recurrence of the problem

Thanks

Rob

Barbara - been busy with work since we last discussed the unsubbed issue
and testing but thought I would jump in on this again.

The only commonality I see in the unsubbed "unsubscribe me" requests is
that several appear to ocome via Gmane. With that in mind, I posted a
reply to this message via an unsubbed address (which is unfortunately
going to cause a duplicate reply). Posting this way, there is no
indication to the poster that they are subscribing to a mailing list
vice posting to a newslist/forum.
be no

From the reply screen:

Compose a message to send to gmane.comp.openoffice.general

Your email address below has to be valid. An authorization email
will be sent to you after posting. You have to reply to that message
to confirm that you exist.

After you've confirmed your existence, the message will then be
forwarded to the mailing list.

After posting:

You've now posted to gmane.comp.openoffice.general. If this
is the first time you've posted to this group, expect to get a
confirmation email.

From the "confirmation email":

You have sent a message to be posted on the
gmane.comp.openoffice.general newsgroup.

Before the message is posted on the newsgroup, you have
to confirm that you exist. Just reply to this message, and
the message will be posted.

You have to respond within one week.

And from replying to the confirmation email:

You are now authorized to post to the
gmane.comp.openoffice.general newsgroup.

The original message you sent to the newsgroup will be
posted within ten minutes.

If you have any questions, they are most likely answered
in the FAQ: <URL: http://gmane.org/faq.php>.

Hopefully this will help shed some light on the issue..

[discuss] Automated PDF export

Almost what you want, but in OOo basic I'm afraid. The error checking is
poor (truthfully, non-existent) because I use this from a web php
script, not interactively.

To use from command line, you'll need something like

/usr/local/bin/openoffice.org-2.3.0-swriter -headless
"macro:///Standard.conversions.SaveAsPDF(\"$1\", \"$2\")"

Give or take a quote or three (all on one line, of course).



Just don't ask me what it all means - please!!! :-)
