[discuss] Install of 1.1.5

The disk I installed some time ago has the notation on its face that it is open linux 2.2

The computer was a windows machine on my peer to peer lan, and since reformatting my c drive with linux 2.2 accesses the internet through the lan's dsl modem, using an obsolete version of netscape (4.1).

Is there a way for me to look at glibc to see what version is there? Or is the only practical solution to download another version of Linux and reinstall it?

Pretty well followed the instructions on the OpenOffice web page for downloading, except rather than /tmp it downloaded to /root/carl

Really appreciate your help,

Carl

[discuss] installing 1.1.5 on linux

Posted: 26 May 2006 03:28 PM PDT

The -3 at the end seems to indicate the third build of this version as far as
I know.

If you are running that version of glibc, the distribution is probably quite
old so installing a newer distribution would definitely be a wise option
especially if the hardware is up to it. Most of the distributions are
available free if you choose so the cost is usually not an issue. I think
that would be the best option.

How do I carry on section page numbering and have a landscape page in the middle

Posted: 14 Jan 2013 01:08 AM PST

I started the page numbering after the title and contents page by creating a section break and starting the numbering at this new section.

 

I also added the field "sectionpages" to make it read "page 1 of 5" for example (which will not count the title and contents pages)

I now want to add a landscape page in between several portrait ones.

 

The only way I can see to do this is to have another section break either side of the landscape page.

This resets the "sectionpages" field to start counting from 1 again. I can see how to carry on the page number counting by linking to previous section but I see no way to make the total number of pages carry on.

 

Is there a way to type a formula such that it would create the field 'total number of pages minus 2' i.e. just don't count the title page and contents page?

Or add a landscape page without causing a section break.

 

Thanks for any help,

Andy

Recently purchased new latop and it came with Word Starter 10. When I am creating new documents trhe spacing is too large. I set it to minimum but still seems to be too much space. When I open my old documents created with Word 2007, everything seems fine. How do I get the minimum spacing in Word 10 Starter to match Word 2007 ?

need more paper size choices

Posted: 12 Jan 2013 08:07 PM PST

New laptop to create church bulletin.  Installed same Office Home and Student 2007 on the new computer as I had on the old computer.  Emailed a sample of the bulletin to myself to open on the new computer.  First, the fonts are not the same, so adjustments needed to be made - that is only a small problem.  More importantly, I could see the completed page on the screen, then pressed print preview to see the overall look.  The print preview showed 8 1/2 x 14 white area, but a portion of the page did not display (as if the page was only supposed to be 8 1/2 x 12? instead)   I have uninstalled, reinstalled, manually changed the paper size, tried every product update I could find - nothing affected it. Then I thought that maybe the print preview was inaccurate, and if I printed it, it would come out with everything showing just the way I saw it prior to hitting print preview.  It cut the printed page view to the smaller size just the same as the print preview had shown. 

When I check the paper size, there is not a legal size option, as on my other computers.  Is it as simple as needing to find a way to add that to this new computer?  I just don't get why I cannot print it exactly the way that I have prepared it & the way that it looks on my screen.

Trouble Getting Find/Replace to Work Until Changing Forward = True to False

Posted: 12 Jan 2013 03:03 PM PST

I am selecting cells in a table and performing a simple find/replace but it does not work on many of the items unless I keep reselecting the cells and running the procedure several times (runs 6 others). I finally corrected the problem by changing "Forward = True" to False. Why did that fix it? What does that mean?

 

Please review my code below (the first one runs 6 others, plus one of the 6) and let me know if you see any problems. It is very straight-forward. The only difference between the 6 is the target text and the replacement text. Thanks in advance!

Open Office - [discuss] excel->oocalc incompatibility leads to grading "gotchas"

Open Office - [discuss] excel->oocalc incompatibility leads to grading "gotchas"

[discuss] excel->oocalc incompatibility leads to grading "gotchas"

Posted: 19 May 2006 03:24 PM PDT

Hi Brian

I'm sorry about the problems you've had, and I'm glad (for you and the =

students) that you discovered the lower marks before it was too late.

You seem to be making three main points, that I'd like to comment on.


1. SOME CALC FUNCTIONS DIFFER FROM EXCEL FUNCTIONS
 

While many of the fuctions work the same way in both programs, there are=
=

functions and notation that do differ.

While I wouldn't like OpenOffice.org to be limited to copying Microsoft'=
s =

functions, I think you are making a good point. If you have an Excel =

spreadsheet that works fine in Excel, and you import it into Calc, you =

would normally assume that the formulas would give the same answers. =

Either the import process should convert the formulas to the equivalent =
=

Calc formulas, or a warning should be given that some formulas in the =

spreadsheet may give different answers to Excel.

Sometimes there is only a slight difference between the formulas, and th=
e =

answers would usually (but not always) be the same. It may be difficult =
to =

determine just how to convert each formula into Calc. In this case, =

changing MIN to MINA would have been appropriate, but would it always be=
=

appropriate in every spreadsheet? That is hard to know.

I'm sure this has been discussed before. Does anyone have some further =

insight?


2. THIS INCOMPATIBILITY WILL DISCOURAGE MIGRATION
 

I disagree with this point - as long as the people considering migration=
=

understand the issues. There is always a cost in migration, and usually =
a =

big part of that cost is learning to do things a new way.

I don't know how many different spreadsheet programs I've used since the=
=

DOS days. It's probably somewhere between 10 and 20. All of them deal wi=
th =

many functions in different ways.

Same goes for word processing. I used to know every function key =

combination for WordPerfect 5.1, and it hasn't helped me one bit in any =
=

word processing program. They all have different features, key =

combinations and menu structures.

But that's the great thing about OpenOffice.org. It's cross platform. Ge=
t =

to know it in Windows, and you can use it in Linux. Possibly that's a =

starting point when talking to your friends - get them to consider =

changing to OpenOffice.org and Firefox, and talk about Linux when they'v=
e =

made that change.

In fact, if you'd created your spreadsheet in OpenOffice.org for Windows=
, =

you wouldn't have had a problem using it in Linux.

In case I wasn't clear, my point is that once people migrate to =

OpenOffice.org, they will be making Calc spreadsheets with Calc formulas=
, =

not Excel spreadsheets with Excel formulas. This situation won't happen =
=

(except for possibly temporarily during the migration).


3. EXCEL'S USE OF THE MIN FUNCTION IS SUPERIOR
 

I appreciate the IMHO, and understand everyone's preferences are differe=
nt.

I don't have a strong preference here, as long as I know how the functio=
n =

will work.

But I did do a quick search in Google, and found quite a few faq's and =

tutorials explaining how to get around the way Excel does MIN. It seems =
=

that a lot of people get a minimum value of 0 when they weren't expectin=
g =

it. A blank cell somewhere was mucking up their expectation of the resul=
ts.

But everyone's different.


Thanks for your honest email, Brian. I think you're main point was numbe=
r =

1, and I think it's fairly valid.

Does anyone have suggestions of a helpful way forward?

Adrian

[discuss] Improving Impress

Posted: 16 May 2006 01:08 PM PDT

Here is a question related to this: there are many sites online that offer
templates and clipart for OpenOffice.org. Rather than including clipart and
template and such that bloat the installer file size, why not create a place
at the www.openoffice.org website that contains these, that users can upload
content to?

I hate to use Microcrap as an example again, but they have a similar service
at http://dgl.microsoft.com that contains clipart, templates, borders, sound
clips, pictures, etc. Could such a service be created at www.openoffice.org
for the OpenOffice.org suite, but also include the ability to have users
upload content? Maybe allow downloads to anyone, but uploaders must create
an account to upload, for tracking info and such?

This would provide a central location for such material, instead of having
to search it out from the myriad of sites that offer portions of such a
service.

Thoughts, comments and ideas?

Word Starter 2010

I cannot print a document in Word Starter 2010.  It just stays in the print queue & can't be deleted.  Please help. 

No longer able to read or open older Word (.doc) documents using Word 2010.

Posted: 11 Jan 2013 01:08 PM PST

I suspect the problem started after installing Windows updates. 

Word 2010 continues to work normally when using .docx files.  The problem is only with the older, .doc files.  When I try to open older files I am prompted to select the encoding that makes your document readable.  Nothing works.

Error messages since last update

Posted: 11 Jan 2013 01:59 AM PST

Since the most recent batch of automatic updates my wife is having problems with Word. She gets two error messages:

1. When she opens a Word document she gets this "The macro couldn't be found or has been disabled because of your Macro security settings" The documents don't contain macros and she has to click on Close on the message box a couple of times to get rid of it. I have checked that the folder is listed as a Trusted foldee. What is causing this?

2. When she opens a Word document she also gets a secomd blank document which when she closes it she gets A Visual Basic eroor message box that says Automation error. What is causing that?

 

Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks

Tony

 

Page Numbering using Page X of Y

Posted: 10 Jan 2013 06:53 PM PST

I created a document where I am using Page X of Y in the Footer. There is a separate Cover Page and seperate Table of Contents Page along with the regular text. Each of these separations are in separate sections using Section Breaks. Although I have done this the end count of the page numbers are calculated e.g. Page 1 of 8. I only want the sections with the actual documentation calculated e.g. Page 1 of 6, Page 2 of 6, etc.

 

I try to edit the fields by manually changing the numbers and that worked fine; however, when pages are added, then the count goes to e.g. Page 7 of 6,(because the manually edited ones will not change).

 

Any help in getting this sorted out is greately appreciated.

 

 

Windows 8 Missing ODBC FoxPro Files

Posted: 10 Jan 2013 03:00 PM PST

My Office 2003 and Project 2003 programs ran perfect with Windows XP Pro.  I just bought a new Dell XPS 8500 with Windows 8 Pro.  During installation both programs report the following error:  Error 1919 and ODBC error 6....missing FoxPro files.  I can not find a solution using the MS Knowledge database since none of the relevant articles address Windows 8.

 

Need help in finding a solution.

I'm having problems previewing envelopes created by a mailmerge in Word 2010 using data from Excel 2010.

Posted: 10 Jan 2013 11:51 AM PST

When I used Office 2003, I was able to create envelopes by using the mailmerge feature in Word 2003 and address data from an Excel 2003 worksheet. After the merge was completed, I was able to preview each envelope prior to printing for a final check. Now, after upgrading to Office 2010, I'm no longer able to preview the results of the merge.

Microsoft Word - Bullet format not consistent

Microsoft Word - Bullet format not consistent

Bullet format not consistent

Posted: 11 Jan 2013 07:44 AM PST

I used the bullet icon on the ribbon to start a bulleted list. Word uses bullets for the first two levels, but then starts using numbers for the third level. How do I fix this?

It looks like this:
  • Level 1 text

o   Level 2 text

1.       Level 3 text – why number and not bullet?


I've been using Word for many years, but some of its features still trip me up.

Thanks.

Removing a document in Word 2003

Posted: 11 Jan 2013 01:29 AM PST

How can I remove an entire document in Word 2003, including the reference to it?  I know how to delete the text or a page, and how to rename the document.  But I can't figure out how to get rid of the whole thing.

Also, I want to know if there is any way to configure Word so that it automatically deletes a document after it has been renamed.  As it stands now, I have two copies of each one, with different names.

I assume there is a way to do the first thing, but there may not be a way to do the second (although there should be).

How do I restrict editing but still allow access to headers and footers?

Posted: 10 Jan 2013 08:10 PM PST

I'm creating a multi-page form using many content controls. Most of the content controls are on the main body of the form. However, some of them are in the document header and footer.

When I restrict editing to filling in forms, the header and footer become unavailable for editing, so my users will not be able to access and edit those content controls.

Is there any way I can restrict editing so that users can only edit the content controls, but still allow access to the header and footer? I can't take the header and footer out and integrate them into the document, because the main body of the document will vary in size. Help! 

Formatting Current Paragraph

Posted: 10 Jan 2013 02:49 PM PST

In Word 2010 VBA, I want to change all of text in the current paragraph from Upper Case to Proper Case.

This should be simple, but I simply can't figure it out.

How is that done?

TIA

Word 2010 - Exclamation Mark On Templates

Posted: 10 Jan 2013 09:30 AM PST

Having recently upgraded from Office 2007 to Office 2010, I have noticed that when I creat a new document from templates, in the template browser, some of the Word templates show a icon with an exclamation mark on a yellow background super imposed on the template icon. 

 

At first I thought that it simply wanted me to save them in the 2010 format, so I opened the templates and re-saved them, however this did not remove the exclamation mark.

 

The templates work normally, I am just curious as to why the exclamation mark is there.

 

Does anyone know what this means?

The "Accept all changes" in the review on the Review board no longer works

Posted: 10 Jan 2013 09:01 AM PST

I'm using MS Word Office 2010 to review text, using the "tracking changes" facility. Recently, when I wanted to accept all the changes in a document, the "Accept all changes" button didn't work and I had to manually accept over 7,000 changes. Any ideas what's happened and how I can remedy it? Many thanks - Petra

Word 2007: Repeating outline "Heading 1" when that topic spans multiple pages

Posted: 08 Jan 2013 01:19 PM PST

Hello - In Word 2007, I have a document with outline headings for which I have used the "Heading 1" and "Heading 2" styles, and using a Table of Contents field at the beginning. Most level-1 sections are very short (it's basically a detailed glossary) though some have more details. What I want to happen is, when a page break occurs within a level-1 topic, the level-1 heading to be repeated on the next page, ideally with something like "(Continued)" appended. Like so:

 

Topic 1

Subtopic 1A

Subtopic 2B

Topic 2

Subtopic 2A

<page break>

Topic 2 (continued)

Subtopic 2B

Subtopic 2C

Topic 3

...

 

To be clear - these are not table headers, nor are they page headers.  Also, I would prefer that the repeated headers due to the page breaks not appear in the TOC.  This can't be an unusual need, but I can't see any way to modify the Heading 1 style to make this happen.

 

Thanks for any advice you can give!

how can I make spell check work in Word 2010

Posted: 05 Jan 2013 04:48 PM PST

Since "upgrading" from Office 2003 to Office 2010, I find that my spell checker is not recognizing or marking misspelled words. I have tried all the suggested "fixes" offered by the 'official support page' (like File/Options/Proofing/ and checking or unchecking the appropriate boxes under "Change How Word Corrects and Formats Your Text.
Is there an actual fix for this problem? if not, I'm headed back to Office 2003, which actually works!
(The other problem I'm having is that when I try to save a document to somewhere other than "My Documents', I'm told I can't save it there because I don't have permssion". Does anyone has a fix for that one?
So far, Office 2010 is another example of how Windows/Microsoft simply does not check their software before putting it on the market and certainly doesn't respond to "why won't this work" questions.

In Word 2010 can I detach quick access tool bar of permanently view multiple rows of the bar at same time.

Posted: 05 Jan 2013 01:58 PM PST

I hate the ribbon and would like to use only the QA toolbar, which has too many icons to be viewed in 1 row.
