[discuss] Writing a MSc, PhD, DSc or a text book in Open office - P1 for Issuezilla

Hi Mathias
 

So this should be explicitely stressed on openoffice.org, that this program
is not optimized for poeple who need to create a document containing
images.
 

No, OO DOES LOAD all images in RAM during start up:
If the images are inserted as a link, the .odt has 600 kB (40 images
and 60000 characters). Opening
of this file under OO takes 20 s (on the first start up and with OO
startup, it takes 70 s all in all) (!!!), RAM consumption rises by 180
MB and CPU consumption is 90 % on average. BUT, saving of this document
is fast enough (3 s under windows, 6 s under SUSE linux 10.1 final),
no significant RAM or CPU consumption.=20
I can provide You the source file without text. I wonder how is it possible
that even a OpenOffice.org Application Framework Project Lead did not
experience this bug.
This problem is platorm idependent, opening uder suse linux 10.1 gives
the same result (RAM and CPU consumption). And again, hard disk speed
is evidently not the limiting link, the limiting link is here CPU (as
a consequence of the bug).

Again,
If the images are inserted as a whole file, the .odt has 15 MB (40 images
and 60000 characters). Opening of this file under OO is fast enough,
and there is no significant RAM or CPU consumption. BUT, saving of this
document takes 20 s (!!!), no significant RAM consumption, CPU consumption
rises to 90 % on average. So, again the CPU consumtion! I have heard,
that OO saves the file as a compressed zip. OO probably compresses these
images before saving - there should be an option for the usere to choose,
if he wants to save the file compressed (my file as .odt has 15 MB)
or uncompressed (my file as .doc has 16 MB). I am sure, that tho most
users appreciate fast saving rather than sparing 1 MB (from 16 MB).

Opening of the same files, but in .doc format, under OO lead to a even
more drastical increase in RAM consumption:
The 16 MB .doc file (40 images and 60000 characters, images physically
inserted) takes 400 MB in RAM (!!!!!!!!), the 600 kB .doc file (40 images
and 60000 characters, images inserted as a link) consumes 220 MB of
RAM.

 

Please try it with my files (.odt, .doc, images saved either physically
or as a link), you will see, that after opening, every image has to
be viewed on the display to be deleted from RAM. Reviewing of the image
on the display does NOT result in increasing of RAM consumption.

 

I am glad to read this, but unfortunately i dont know what API is...
 

Thanks for helping with the priority estimation.
 

I have never heard about OOo2.0.3 IIRC, I just simply downloaded version
2.0.3 and thats all. I would be very glad that someone thought of people
having to work with large pictures in text files..
 

Again, it DOES influence load or save performace, please try out my source
files. I am relatively experienced, so i do know that scrolling through
the document is limited by the disk speed.
BUT, as mentioned above, after opening the mentioned files (.odt where
images are as links or all .doc formats), during the scrolling through
the document and viewing the images for the first time, the images ar
being moved from RAM to the hard drive.

 

Nice to hear it, please let me be the first to try out the fixed version
of OO.

Its fairly important if you use Impress much. Also it is very important
in the education market. If Draw had proper svg support OOo would be
much stronger in the schools market. Even with Draw and its limitations,
it is a selling point I use quite a lot.
 

Yes, maybe it would be better to replace the Draw engine by an inkscape
engine in version 3. Ok probably too big a job but at some point svg
import export has to be fully supported
 

I can't see it get worse because that could break a whole lot of other
things like Impress presentations and diagrams in Writer.
 

Agree. I have been voting for SVG draw support from the beginning :-)

Maybe just because I didn't have a document like yours. :-)

Believe it or not, OOo normally does not load all images of a text
document when you load it, they are loaded on demand (e.g. for painting
them). If you have a particular document where it looks as if it
happened then there surely is a reason for it (and this reason can maybe
avoided by changing some codeor even is a bug). But this is not the
regular case!

My comment that OOo doesn't load all images was meant as a general
comment because you made a general statement (see the first sentence of
the quoted text above). Of course it is always possible that there is a
particular document where for whatever reason a lot of images are loaded.

Obviously OOo has some performance problems with your document. If
possible please create an issue and attach the document to it. We are
always very interested in fixing performance problems.
 

OOo does not compress images if they are compressed already. And if the
file was saved in odt already the images are compressed anyway. They
will not be saved or compressed again but the compressed stream will be
copied directly from the old zip file to the new zip file.
 

On doc import OOo will probably load all images. I don't know the filter
code very well but I assume that this is the case and hopefully the
developers had a reason to do so. In the worst case just time pressure. :-)

I would see this as something that could be optimized in further filter
development and as we are currently working on the Word filter I'm sure
that we will have a look on that.
 

So there is a special reason in your document. Sounds interesting. :-)
 

Sorry, my bad. I'm so used to some acronyms that I always forget that
other people might not know them. "IIRC" means "If I remember
correctly." So if you have OOo2.0.3 you already have a version that is
optimized for saving graphics or OLE objects.
 

I don't deny that your particular document is a problem for OOo, it's
just not the regular case. I really would be interested in getting my
hands on your documents. If you don't dare to attach them to an issue
you can send it to me directly: com.

Best regards,
Mathias

hi Adrian,

thank you for your reply!

In lyx with gtk backend, one can easily input formula if one is familiar
with latex. And lyx displays the symbol as one inputs, so one can see
whether it is right instantly. I also like inputing formulas by keyboard
because I am familiar with latex.

oO seems like latex, but is quite different, it has its own key words. As
for me, these key words are obscure, In lyx, there is also a formula panel,
it displays some of the keyword by symbols if available instead of English
word,
for example, a fraction, one can easily understand it is a fraction even if
he(or she) does not know English.

My thoughts are: You have a 'computer' and you are using it on 'The
Internet'.

There is no such thing as a computer that is totally proof against hacking.
The "problem" is not Microsoft. The problem is "people". Microsoft builds
software down to a price: and so does Apple and everyone else. That's how
they are selling more of it than they were...

It is probably easier to break into an Apple OS X computer than it is to
break into a Windows Vista computer. Nobody knows for sure: each of them
contains millions of lines of computer code -- all written "at the lowest
possible cost" or by "the cheapest outside contractor".

It is true that various people have made a science of cracking Windows
computers for the past 30 years. Historically, they have not bothered
hacking Macs because there were not enough of them to be profitable. Macs
used to be maybe one or two per cent of the computers in use. That is now
climbing rapidly towards ten per cent.

However, since the fall of the Soviet Union, large organisations with
headquarters in St Petersburg, Russia and thought to have links to the
Russian Mafia are involved in the game. They are hiring professional
programmers, some of the smartest people on earth -- they once worked for
the KGB, but now are unemployed, and they need to feed their families. The
exploits that are being used today are much more threatening than in the
past.

These people are making money, not mischief. These people have all the
resources of organised crime and terrorist organisations behind them. At
what point do you suppose the bad guys will figure it is worth their while
to make exploits to crack Macs? Ten per cent? Twelve? Fifteen? That's a
guess, right?

There is a reason why the CIA spends millions on its computers and we spend
only a couple of thousand. What do you suppose the CIA is buying for its
money? I suggest it's not the colour scheme they are interested in :-)

Let's consider the Mac user base: more likely to have high income than PC
users. More likely to be less interested in computers and how they work,
and thus have little idea how to secure them. More likely to be able to
afford broadband internet. More likely to invest large amounts of money.
Do you see anything there that might be interesting to large and determined
criminal organisations? Remember: We're not trying to defend ourselves
against pimply youths who are bored and having fun. We are being attacked
by large and powerful criminal conspiracies and malevolent nation-states:
entities that have money, highly-skilled computer scientists, and great
determination.

On this Mac, I run a hardware firewall, a software firewall, an antivirus
solution (two of them: one for Windows, one for Mac), an anti-spyware
solution, and an anti-spam solution. All-up cost? Maybe 200 bucks. Worth
it, to me -- so I sleep soundly at night :-)

When I grew up on farm, my stepfather taught me "Good fences make good
neighbours". I do what I can to make sure that my machine will not be
compromised, and therefore, will not be a threat to yours.

Hope this helps

The one you will usually notice most often is "Full Unicode Support".
Office 2004 supports a far wider range of characters in each font than
Office X. This is not a big issue if you do not send documents out from
your computer, but it's very handy if you receive documents from the Windows

Hi Dan:

The product you seek is named "Windows" :-)

Seriously, as Bob says, Windows will run just fine on your MacBook (I am
running Vista on this MacBook, but I suggest you buy something cheaper:
Windows 2000 was a very good year, and it should be available very
cheaply...)

When you get it, drop it into BootCamp. If you use it more often than
occasionally, Consider installing Parallels so you can run it as a guest in
Mac OS X. That's what I am doing, but you do have to pay for Parallels,
BootCamp is free :-)

It is important to install Bootcamp even if you are going to use Windows
with Parallels. It contains Windows drivers for the various bits of Apple
hardware your MacBook contains.

For your purposes, I would immediately update Windows to IE7. Not only is
it a much better browser than IE6, it is more capable of displaying picky
websites also.

I would *not* be tempted to put Safari for Windows into it, not until they
get the bugs out of it, or you may find various bits of Windows stop working
:-)

Office not working

Posted: 12 Jun 2007 09:30 PM PDT

Hi Jill:

Sadly, that's a well-known side-effect of one of the nasty little utilities
out there that offers to "save disk space on your Mac". It appears that the
designer of said utility does not really understand modern software :-)

As to your husband, well, that's what login passwords are for. :-)

You tell him that you were reading up on "Security" on the Internet and
<insert name of favourite expert> recommended strongly that you put a
password on your computer, to prevent hackers getting in.

What you would be saying is, in fact, true :-) If you put a password on the
machine, he will have to ASK you for it each time he wants to fiddle. You
can then ask him what he's going to do and how it will help YOU :-)

If you don't understand the answer, tell him to try it on his machine, and
let you know how well it works in six months and you will "consider" it :-)

What's to prevent you using the startup disk from your husband's machine?
So long as you have the correct licence key (the one for YOUR machine...) it
should work fine... Actually, I don't think you even need a licence key for
an Apple startup disk, do you?

Office 2008 + SharePoint

Posted: 12 Jun 2007 08:00 PM PDT

Hi Chris:

Those who know are not allowed to tell us. Those who tell us, don't know!

That said, my guess is that Mac Office 2008 users will need to use
SharePoint via a browser only. I doubt if there will be any integration at
all: they will need to check things out in the browser, work on them, then
upload and check them back in using the browser again.

I hope I am wrong...

The only way to know that is to run the Remove Office application, which

Looking for Mac Office 2004 version of Microsoft Office Document Imaging (or other Mac TIF viewer)

Posted: 08 Jun 2007 01:23 PM PDT

It looks like the Preview function of OS 10.4 does support mult-page
TIF, the secret is to click on the drawer icon to open a pane on the right
side of the window showing the additional pages. I still wish that
Microsoft would make a Mac version of the Office Document Imaging for the
next version of Office.

First try downloading the combo updater from Apple and run it again rather
than using Software Update. Doing so overwrites potentially problem-causing
files. Use "Remove Office" and re-install and update Office. If this does
not work, you will need to do an Archive & Install of the OS.

Well, I followed the DNS guidelines about internal DNS servers and
forwarding to external.

Turns out, the Exchange server I had set to internal. And since the
internal servers are authoritative for mydomain.com, thats why they didn't
come through.

So I pointed the DNS settings on the exchange server to our ISP, and
bam...they came through just fine.
 

Nah, all external email domains were coming in except for the one that had
the same name as the chosen internal FQDN. But using the ISP for the
exchange server DNS did the trick.

Yes, that is it. But is there a way to have the Exchange server use the

Jerre,

This can be the case, however there are ways to back up exchange mailboxes
at "brick level" backing up and restoring each mailbox individually. Veritas
for instance has this functionality.

Hope this helps

Default Multiple Line Spacing setting and At setting, Word 2013

Posted: 18 Feb 2013 10:37 AM PST

I'm trying to change my line spacing back to Word 2013 defaults and had taken a screen shot of the original settings. Under the Paragraph Indents and Spacing Tab, Spacing, Line spacing was set to Multiple and At was set to 1.08, In Word 2010, it used to be Multiple at 1.15. Did they change it?  Bottom line, if anyone has installed Word 2013 and not changed default settings here, I would like to know what you have in the Line Spacing and At boxes on the Indents and Spacing tab. Thanks in advance.

Also, if you go to the Design tab, Document Formatting, Paragraph Spacing, and point to Default, a screen tip appears telling you Default Line Spacing is 1.08. This article http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/change-the-default-line-spacing-HA102809684.aspx says, "he default line spacing in Microsoft Word 2013 is 1.15. " but how can that be true? Even their own screen shot in their step 3 shows "At" set to 1.08.

Iterate Sequentially through the Content Controls Collection

Posted: 18 Feb 2013 10:09 AM PST

Obtaining details from a collection of content controls is fairly straight forward:

Dim cc as ContentControl
Dim docCCs as ContentControls
Dim arrData() as String
Dim i as Integer
Dim myRange as Range
Set docCCs = ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTage("summary")
x = docCCs. Count
For Each cc in docCCs
i = i + 1
Set myRange = cc.Range
arrData(i,2) = myRange.Text
Next

When you run this code, all of the Content Controls with a tag of "summary" are returned to the collection.  Then, for each of these returned controls, the text that they hold is passed to an array.  So far so good...but here is also where my problem arises.

There is a property of a content control called ID that sets the sort order for the returned controls.  Because of this the values in the array are not in the sequential order presented in the document, they are in ID order.  The system generates the ID and it cannot be manipulated. 

Is there another method for iterating through a subsets of Content Controls, as bove, that will produce values in the sequential order presented in the document?

Thanks in advance,
Ron

Font size in text boxes

Posted: 18 Feb 2013 10:06 AM PST

Is there a way to format a text box so that the size of the font automatically updates according to the size of the text box? For example, if I've created a drawing using AutoShapes and made these shapes into text boxes, can I format them so that once I make the box smaller or larger, the font becomes smaller or larger? 

I suppose it would be like locking an aspect ratio, though it would be the ratio of text to box.

I know there's the option of "Resize AutoShape to fit text," but I'm really looking for the opposite effect. 

Thanks

Can shortcuts be assigned to dropdown values in Word forms?

Posted: 15 Feb 2013 01:48 PM PST

I've created a form in Word 2003 that has 3 options (Yes, No, N/A) and I'm wanting to find a way to allow people to reach the field by tabbing through the form, and just press Y or N to select an option from the dropdown.  Obviously N will need to be pressed twice to toggle from No to N/A but this is fine; the main ideal is to prevent the mouse from being required.

I know of the Alt + Down arrow shortcut, as well as pressing F4 on the keyboard, but I'm hoping for something a little more user friendly.  Surely there's got to be a way to make the dropdown work like every other dropdown online where you just press the first letter and it jumps to an option that matches.
