I never got a MSO license from my workplace, being a freelancer and hence considered external...and created layouted documents in OOo exporting to .doc for my company (I'm a graphics designer.). After doing that for about a year we got a new marketing director, who is gladly open to opensource and was familiar with OOo. From there it was a pretty minor step to encouraging the general use of OOo for the required documents. Just one longish eMail explaining the benefits of the more stable layout (MSO shifted things all the time). OOo got installed on the computers of the involved employees and the workflow uses native ODF now.

[discuss] Vista Version of Open Office Posted: 06 Jun 2007 05:36 PM PDT OpenOffice should run fine on vista - some software needs explicit 'vista versions' however that probably indicates either a poor standard of design, or a dependence upon a certain internal feature that has been changed in vista. From what i've heard OpenOffice is currently -compatible- with vista, and the developers are working on enhanced vista integration in later versions. -- Chris Monahan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: org For additional commands, e-mail: org |

Yes, we don't read any printer information from "alien" formats. I think most problems in this area will vanish in OOo2.3. We also plan to add an option to ignore printer settings in documents completely but I'm unsure whether we can implement this until feature deadline for 2.3.

Posted: 24 May 2007 04:07 PM PDT This feature already exists...it is called booklet printing, and is accomplished by treating it as a brochure. This is a pasting from the help file in Writer...I've printed booklets from writer using these directions: Printing a Brochure You can print a Writer document as a brochure or a booklet. That is, Writer prints two pages on each side of the paper, so that when you fold the paper, you can read the document as a book. When you create a document that you want to print as a brochure, use portrait orientation for the pages. Writer applies the brochure layout when you print the document. To Print a Brochure 1.Choose File - Print. 2.In the Print dialog, click Properties. 3.In the properties dialog for your printer, set the paper orientation to landscape. If your printer prints duplex, and because brochures always print in landscape mode, you should use the "duplex - short edge" setting in your printer setup dialog. 4.Return to Print dialog, and click Options. 5.In the Pages area of the Printer Options dialog, select Brochure. 6.For a printer that automatically prints on both sides of a page, specify to print right pages and left pages. 7.In the Print dialog, click OK. If you print a document in portrait on a landscape page, two opposing sides in a brochure will be printed next to each other. If you have a printer with double-sided printing capability, then you can create an entire brochure from your document without having to collate the pages later. If you have a printer that only has single-sided printing capability, then you can achieve this effect by first printing out the front pages with the Right pages option marked, then re-inserting the entire paper stack in your printer and printing all the back pages with the Left pages option marked. If OpenOffice.org prints the pages in the wrong order, open the Printer Options dialog, select Reversed, and then print the document again.

[discuss] Suggestions for Open Office Posted: 17 May 2007 03:25 PM PDT Quoting Robin Laing <gc.ca>: OpenOffice.org already has their HTML editor. Just go to New > HTML Document I do wish they have better CSS support on the stylist. You can do this with making a template that include pagination with a =20 0 offset on it and make it the default. to do this booklet options usually I preffer using OOo Draw which =20 allow you more flexibility.
