[discuss] Multi-Sheets in OpenOffice Writer?

Posted: 25 Feb 2007 04:28 PM PST

>firstly there is already a notes system in openoffice and MS 

I'm not the OP, but I'm another person who'd like this kind of feature. Insert Notes works fine for little notes, especially about specific points in the document, but it's not what we want. It doesn't help with managing a writing project. I think what the OP and I both want is some way to associate a second document with the main document and have it open whenever the main document is opened. There are ways to work around the need, such as using a master doc to manage the project with associated project docs (outlines, notes, planning docs, to-dos, etc.) as subdocs, but that's not as convenient as something like a second sheet or some other way of associating documents might be. Especially in a muti-chapter project where I already have a master document.

I work in both Linux and Windows. In Windows, there's a little freeware app called Stickies that gives me part of what I'm looking for. Unlike other sticky note apps, Stickies lets me attach notes to documents so they open automatically with the document. I can keep notes or links to more detailed notes on a sticky that comes up with the document. I find it useful, but limited, and not nearly as elegant as a solution within OOo would be. I haven't found anything quite like it in Linux. The downside, of course, is the notes are only there on one machine, instead of being a part of the document, available wherever I work.

When I was experimenting with different word processing apps (which led me to OOo), I tried a program called RoughDraft. At least I think that's the one, anyway. It has a notepad pane in its UI, where you keep your project notes handy. I liked that, but didn't much care for the program itself.

[discuss] Save a copy for OOo?

Posted: 23 Feb 2007 02:46 PM PST

Sorry andrew but that's not what he means

A "save a copy" is where the file gets saved but then it doesn't
switch to that file as the file being 'edited' so for example you
could be editing foobar.odt and save a copy as foobar.doc to test how
well it opens in MS word

but since you 'saved a copy' rather than just saved you can open the
file without it being locked, and whenever you save the file again
it'll still save it to foobar.odt

Abiword has this. As does a lot of other open source apps. OpenOffice
seems not to have bothered just because MS hasn't bothered, even
though it's probably simple to implement.

Hello Matt,

the last release of en-GB was for OpenOffice.org 2.0.2 but at that time
language packs weren't distributed into the mirror network because they
got no QA approval.

http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=62891

Builds for en-GB language packs are still built and can be found on one
of our extended mirrors for 2.1.0rc2 and 2.2.0rc1.

http://distribution.openoffice.org/mirrors/#extmirrors

These are release candidates. If you're interested into doing QA for
these builds then you're invited to help. If you need help then please
subscribe to dev@l10n and/or to There you'll find several people
doing l10n QA and release tests for other native lang builds.

....and please read this:

SPACING PLUS A FURTHER PROBLEM

Spacing
I know how to alter spacing for  typing text, but if I use 'enter'  to get to a new line the spacing is different and I can't get to make it the same as the text spacing.

ONE NOTE
Apparently spontaneously, when I go to 'print' via File or using a short cut I get a submenu highlighting  'send to Onenote' rather than going directly to  the printer as previously.   How can I make the printer the default in this submenu please?

Read-only filesystem

Bad idea.
 

This is most likely NOT your /etc/fstab file that should contain
the entries for your filesystems. If you bootup the system in
"rescue" mode, then you start the system from CDROM; therefor, /etc
is located on the filesystem booted / copied from the CDROM and
doesn't point to your valid /etc/fstab file. Mount the filesystem
manually to /mnt, then proceed to checking your filesystems
(use "df" to see what is actually mounted).
 
 
 

Your root filesystem may be damaged; either use a current working backup
to restore your filesystem, or prepare for a reinstallation. Without
any details at hand about your hardware, it's a bit hard to tell what to do
next; typically, you'd first check for any kind of HW failure using "smartctl"
or similar tools, depending from your local setup.

Which language is the custom dictionary? It should be set to "No Language"
otherwise the custom dictionary will be used only for text marked with its

"English" is not close enough ‹ there are 29 flavours of English. If you

Is there a way to mass delete styles?

Posted: 13 Apr 2013 09:08 AM PDT

I have a document that was created by a product called AABBYY Fine Reader.  It is an optical character recognition program that enables a user to scan pages and then convert them to an existing  document format like Word, or Excel or Adobe PDF.  Unfortunately when the product is used to product a formatted document it often generates a myriad of styles because of minute differences in the text as it sees it.  This can result in a document with literally hundreds of different styles, styles that are useless.

 

I would like to remove all these useless sytles from the document and whatever template it is apparently using, but the only way I know how to do this at this time is one by one, going to the styles list, right clicking the style, and choosing Delete, which then asks you to confirm each one.  With hundred of styles this would be a very time consuming task.  I want to find a way to mass delete the styles so I can start over with a very simple set based on the standard normal template.

 

I can clear all formatting right now, but that does not get rid of the embedded styles and it may also have a negative effect on what formatting I was trying to save.

 

Is there a way to delete all sytles or selected styles using a character pattern filter?

 

Is there a way to get around this by linking the document to a new template?

 

What other solutions have I not thought of?

Indentation not working properly in Word 2010

Posted: 12 Apr 2013 02:43 PM PDT

My frustration with Microsoft Company has boiled over to this writing regarding Microsoft Word and I know that Microsoft could care less.  Otherwise they would have changed things so that it is simpler to use instead of harder.  Okay.  Now that I am calmed down a little... here is my question:

 

Why is it when I have my cursor on the line I want to indent (I know that I am not stupid) , all of the other text moves on the page except for the line that I have my cursor on???????????  This is so freaking frustrating I cannot even begin to tell you.  I have fought... and I have fought over the years with this same exact problem and I am simply tired of it.

 

The ONLY credit MS gets is that this is text copied from a blog and not an original "New" document.  However, I still have the same problems when trying to indent.  Sometimes the indentations are different, but sometimes not. 

 

HOWEVER,

 

I did select "Merge Formatting" as my choice for the text being pasted.  Sooo.... wouldn't that take care of the problem?

 

Thanks community... you keep me from doing something I would rather regret...lol

Word 2007/Win8: Images are cut off when printing by scaling

Posted: 09 Apr 2013 05:26 PM PDT

Hi.

 

I am having a problem with MS Word 2007 on Windows 8 x64.  I just tested Word 2007 on my Windows 7 x64 computer and it does not have this problem.  In Word documents I manipulate images and screenshots as guides to print for people.  On Windows 7 this was never a problem and was flawless; I could paste screenshots in directly and crop/upscale/downscale images and they STAYED that way.  I also tested the trial version of Office 2010 in desperation but it did the exact same quirk on Windows 8.

 

In Windows 8 I am finding that the page I see on the screen is NOT the same as the printouts (tested on 3 different printers) or the MS XPS file print.  It does look exactly right when printed to PDF via CutePDF.  However, having to print my documents to PDF and then print the PDF is very annoying.  The problem is the scaling for pictures does not stay when the file is printed.  Images become skewed or cutoff as the image stays the same dimensions I dragged it to on the page but it zooms itself to full 100% size again inside those dimensions.

 

I have tried several things to correct this:

1)  I tried applying a "Picture Style" to one of the pictures:  This fixed the scaling.  In fact it fixes the scaling for ALL images on that page, but any on the next pages revert to improper scaling.

 

2)  I tried the "Compress Pictures" option:  This fixed every picture but the first one.  It is also an extra step I do not need to take in Windows 7, and on Windows 7 I don't have to discard cropped out areas in order for printing to work.  I tested that by opening a docx made on Windows 7 and printing:  the images maintained their style from Windows 7.  I could also uncrop those photos back to original sizes.

 

3)  I tried saving the file before printing:  no change

 

4)  I tried rebooting:  no change

 

5)  I tried using pasted screenshots vs premade pictures:  both suffer the same problem.

 


Samples:

Album

 


How should I proceed?  Is this a Word thing or a Windows 8 driver thing?  Any help is much appreciated.

Hello, when I copy text from a Web page

Posted: 08 Apr 2013 03:41 PM PDT

into a Word 2007 new document, Word won't paste the text into the new document as it should by using the Paste command (or Ctrl + V). The Web page is an Adobe online document. Notepad, however, will accept the Paste command. If I go to other Web pages, I am able to copy and paste text into the (same) Word doc. If I go to another Web page at Adobe I can also use the copy and paste command just fine again with the same Word doc.

 

Any ideas what this might be?

 

Thanks

Here is how to trouble shoot.

In the gantt view go to insert menu / select column / choose "Baseline

If the column is empty or has NA all over it, you don't really have a
baseline set. Set a baseline (not an interim baseline) and start over.

If there are values there then go to format menu / select barstyles / scroll
down the list to the first open space.
Type a name, set the appearance you want using the controls on the bottom
half of the form, set "Show for ... Tasks" to be "Critical", set it to be
"From" baseline start "TO" baseline finish.

Your baseline should now show up. If it doesn't you have a real problem.

Assigning task as "monthly", "qtrly" & visually displaying on cale

Posted: 29 Jun 2004 08:26 AM PDT

That is what I've done so far. But, how do I customize a visual display of the recurring tasks? I'd like an icon or something to display in the calendar view (or other view) for each time that scorecard is due to be published. Right now the only visual display is the circular arrow in the left and I think it says "1hr" for each occurance can I make it say something else or show an icon instead? If so, do I do this with the resource customization or with a field customization?

And, do all the parents in the outline HAVE to have the 1hr displayed for all their child activities, can I make them only show on the parent of the recurring task and not the "initiative" and "objective" lines I have them linked to above that task.

Make sense?

Another silly question, how do I add a column on the far right? It always adds it to the left of the last column and I can't figure out how to get the far right column moved to where I want it to go.

Duration Calculation--hopefully simple question

Posted: 29 Jun 2004 07:30 AM PDT

Hi,

I am nearly convinced default working hours is the culprit.

I'm still having this problem. I have a task, the duration of which is 3
days, work is 48 hours, two people, working full time (8 hour days) are
assigned to this task. So everything is correct, but project schedules the
start date of the task for 7/13 and the finish date for 7/14, which is only
two days. I cannot figure out how to simply get the start and finish dates
to match the duration without making everything go wacky.

With Master/Subs - only one user can edit?

Posted: 29 Jun 2004 05:56 AM PDT

To be more specific, a file can be open by two or more users at a time, but
only one person can have it open for editing. All others are read only and
won't see changes until the person editting saves, and the readers close and
reopen the file.

Resource Reports by Project

Posted: 28 Jun 2004 05:57 PM PDT

Thanks John, you've given me a lot to try. In the mean time I found that
if you unlink the project you don't want to see from the resource pool,
then you will only get the assignments from the project you do want to
see.....and the reports work.

Thanks....

Resources In alphabetical Order

Posted: 28 Jun 2004 02:58 PM PDT

Hi,

Simplest is to do a Name sort in Project first. If you select the renumber
option the ids renumber so resource names are alphabetic.

You can do the name sort manually or in VBA.

Microsoft Project is a spreadsheet system software?

Posted: 28 Jun 2004 12:24 PM PDT

Interesting thread.
Doris rasies a good point - though not the point she mentions...

Do the Excel people and the Project people at MS ever talk?

I believe the "grid" in project would benefit greatly from excel like
functionality

For example when creating a formula in "Text1" why not just type (as in
excel)
=Text2 & " " & Text3 & " " & Duration9/60/8 '(convert minutes to hours and
hours to days)

or being able to set durations with "=Activity14.Duration" (the same
duration as Activity 14)

Perhaps define names or named ranges?

I bet there are other great ideas out there - your thoughts?

Mark

Customize a Module View in project

Posted: 28 Jun 2004 04:39 AM PDT

Rod,

It sounds to me like she means the Forms that appear on the bottom
half of the screen when you click Window>Split. If that's the case, I
don't think you can customize those forms, can you?
