Demian,
I seldom have more than 4 or 5 documents open at a time, so I don't have experience with as many as 15, but I switch among them very quickly using alt w to open the windows menu, followed by alt (whatever the key letter shows in the window listing) to choose the next file. My secretary insisted on using her mouse to achieve the same result. Click on "window" then click on filename, and there you are. She "hated" keyboard shortcuts, so I let her do things her own way.

Regards,

Carl

Hello there, I found myself using OpenOffice Writer and having almost 15 documents open at once, but is a big problem to change from window to window to get to another document as fast as I can so, I was thinking (hope it hasn't been asked before) if can it be possible to have tabs on OpenOffice Writer (and maybe other OpenOffice programs) to have a different document open on each one or maybe the same document on a diferent page so I can edit it faster, and of course would be great to have keyboard shorcuts to change from tab to tab.

Thanks for your attention, and hope I'm not causing any trouble with this request.

Best regards.

[discuss] A suggerence - what I miss in OpenOffice.org

Posted: 10 Feb 2008 08:54 AM PST

Well, I work with complex numbers (their real and imaginary parts) and
non-linear functions. For exemple, the most used theoretical models are
Havriliak-Negami and Cole-Cole (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cole-Cole_equation and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Havriliak-Negami_relaxation for curiosity).
An important part of my work consist of 'deconvolution' of
experimental data, i.e., decomposing experimental plots as a sum of a
number of these theoretical equations, and sometimes other ones.

This involves non-linear least squares fitting of, say, 9 parameters in
the easiest case. This is easy to do with a 'commercial' spreadsheet, by
using Marquardt-Levenberg or Newton-Raphson algorithms, which use
mathematical tools of matrix algebra (matrix transposes, inverses, etc.)
These routines are available in C and Fortran, but I do not know if they
should be migrated into another language for being used in OOo.

For the sake of code reusability, I need a generic fitting algorithm
regardless of the number of theoretical equations I need to add up, or
their mathematical structure -- I cannot spend my time reprogramming the
equations everytime I need to consider an additional effect.

I do not know if this description is helpful to understand what I need,
but it's just that.

Thank you for all,

Alex

[discuss] Idea / Feature

Posted: 05 Feb 2008 04:33 PM PST

OpenProj is an open source replacement of Microsoft Project.
(http://www.openproj.org) OpenProj is available on Linux, Unix, Mac or
Windows and opens existing Microsoft Project files. It is integrated
with IBM's Symphony which is based on OpenOffice but not yet integrated
with OpenOffice itself.

Microsoft Project is installed on 7% of all Office desktops. It is
priced at $999.99/copy. OpenProj is free and is a complete replacement
which is having a signficant impact in over 132 countries. This has
definite synergy with the OpenOffice suite.

[discuss] Track Changes feature in text docs

Posted: 05 Feb 2008 04:31 PM PST

> Eva Pressel-Roemer <com> wrote: I am an Open Office user at home, but forced to be a MS user at work. 

Hello Eva,

I actually found the track changes feature in OOo better than the
corresponding feature in MSO in the area of reviewing the changes as
it allows several levels of filtering of the changes.

There are indeed however two major improvements that are sorely missed:
a) integration of accept/reject change in the context menu. In MSO,
when right clicking on modified text, it is possible to accept or
reject that particular change, something which I found very useful.
b) in MSO, you can copy the text with revision marks and paste it in a
different document *preserving* the revisions. I could not find a way
to do it in OOo.

Another little thing that I find useful in MSO is the possibility of
toggling the recording of changes from the status bar (TRK). As there
is currently a fair amount of free space on the status bar, it would
be nice to add this information/switch.

Point a) is covered in 6191 and more general enhancements can be found
in 14268, 25028, 50202, 58839, 58841, 63135, 66293.
Point b) is covered (partially) in 34537.

My suggestion is that people who still have votes available should go
on and vote for one or more of these RFEs.

Cheers,

Michele

I respectfully disagree, as do millions of Firefox and Thunderbird users
(not to mention all of us who use Linux or other FLOSS operating systems
for our daily business).

Whether an item is considered "Free Software" or "Proprietary" is
determined by its license terms, nothing more. Simply being "Free
Software" does not imply a specific development methodology or quality.
It is much harder to close development on a Free Software project,
because by definition the license must allow modifications. However,
nothing requires you, the developer, to accept those modifications in
the product you distribute. Conversely, there is no rule which says a
"proprietary" licenseholder cannot allow modifications from outside the
shop if it so wishes (e.g., the Microsoft "shared source" model).

Dual-licensing is not done to allow a product to be sold to consumers. I
do not know every open source license in existence, but every major
license I can think of -- for example, the GPL, the Mozilla license, BSD
license, Sun's PDL, the OSL -- allows the commercial sale of the
product. Normally, vendors dual-license a product in order to allow the
inclusion of non-free plugins or code that would not be permitted under
the "derivative works" or similar clause in the selected open source
license. For example, you might sell a piece of software to a customer
who wants to modify it to include code that is a company trade secret.
In that case, you might relicense the code to allow your customer to
make the necessary modifications.

One may say that a particular piece of software is more appropriate for
a purpose or audience than another piece of software. A particular piece
of proprietary software may very well be more "consumer-oriented" than a
similar piece of FLOSS. But the converse may also be true. I would say,
from years of experience, that Firefox with its plugins is far more
"consumer-oriented" than IE is. But neither of us can credibly say that
all proprietary software is more consumer-oriented than all FLOSS, or
vice versa.

Posted: 11 Jan 2008 12:44 PM PST

Eike Rathke wrote: 

The use of INDIRECT prevents unintended changes to the formula if the
A1:A8 range is moved (or rows inserted, etc). The downside of using
INDIRECT is that the formula has to be recalculated after any change to
the document. If you don't need a dynamic upper limit, you could use a
named range, like "onetoeight" for "ROW($A$1:$A$8)" (note the absence of
a sheet reference), which causes recalculation only for changes in
A1:A8, and is also somewhat more readable. Still just a dirty trick, of
course.
 

A new syntax isn't needed, a new function would be enough. For now,
anyone can create one for himself with an add-in (you could also use a
Basic function, but these days, with the NetBeans wizard, an add-in in
Java is written just as easily, and it's more flexible).

text jumps to the left column

Posted: 02 Jul 2013 08:13 PM PDT

I created a Word document and reformatted it for 2 columns.  About 6 or 7 lines of the text from midway down the second column has jumped to the first column.  The remainder of the text below it is where it belongs - in the second column.  Any attempts to retype the text where I want it causes text below it to misbehave similarly.

Can someone help me diagnose and fix this problem?

Posted: 02 Jul 2013 04:53 PM PDT

When I insert the Rich Text Content control in the Control group on the Developer Tab in Word 2010, there is text that says "Click here to enter text". I would prefer not to have so much text cuing the user to type there. Can I change the prompt wording? and is there a way to print the document so the prompt does not appear when printing only? So a user could choose to complete the form electronically or print the form then fill out by hand without the prompt taking up space?

I cannot upload a picture, so please try to imagine what "click here to enter text" looks like in a space that should only be about 10 characters long, as it might be limited in a table.

hover over additions and deletions to see history and author

Posted: 01 Jul 2013 05:46 PM PDT

In Word 2010 you used to be able to hover over an inline insert or deletion and see who the author was. Where is that feature in Word 2013.
If the reviewing pane is open, clicking or highlighting a change in the document does not take you to the change in the reviewing pane to see who the author is. Likewise, clicking on a change in the reviewing pane does not highlight or show the change in the document. When there are multiple people editing a document, hover was a good way to see who made the change. Also, Show Markup/Reviewers used to show the color of the author. That is gone from 2013 as well. Not everyone makes a comment. I want to see who made an inline addition/deletion.

Word 2013 docx file incomplete depending on computer used to view the file

Posted: 30 Jun 2013 05:45 AM PDT

I have a word file created on a laptop. It is 40 pages long. When I move this file to a USB drive and transfer it to my desktop the file is incomplete and I only see the first 29 pages of the file. When I check the file on the USB drive on my laptop, all 40 pages show. Using Dropbox and Skydrive the results are the same. Restated, the word file is complete on my laptop but incomplete on my desktop. Both computers run Windows 8 and have Office 2013 installed. Is this some sort of cache issue? 

Edit: I tried renaming the file on the desktop, but the issue persists.

Edit 2: On the desktop, Word stops displaying the file at page 29 and the page count feature indicates only 29 pages are present. If I go to page 29 and delete some white-space in the document, text from later in the document (pg. 30) comes into view. The rest of the data/text is still there, but Word stops at page 29 when displaying the file.

Project Central

Posted: 25 Aug 2004 02:36 PM PDT

I would very strongly suggest you bypass Project Central in favour of the
current version, Project Server. Central's purpose, as you know, is to give
web access to your project files. It was bundled free with Project 2000 but
anything you get for free is usually worth exactly what you've paid for it.
I've heard rumours that some people have been able to use it successfully
but I have never personally known anyone who was able to get it to work
reliably in a production environment. Once it matured and became a stable
and usable product, it became a separate product and was no longer free, MS
Project Server 2002. The current release is Project Server 2003 and is
getting quite wide acceptance for EPM and PMO environments. With Server,
your project managers, the ones who will be developing and managing the
project plan, use Project Professional. They then publish the plans to the
server where other users - resources, functional managers, etc - that need
to view it and update their portions of it access it via Project Web Access.
Deploying Server is not a trivial task (but unlike Central, at least it

download and read their White Papers and case studies.

Oh, and Project Central was similar to Server in that it did not replace the
need for a full copy of MS Project in the hands of anyone creating or
managing the project plans. You still needed enough licenses for that. Web
access allowed for viewing and updating progress but not actually editing
the plans.

Best Practice: Consulting Project (Billing)?

Posted: 25 Aug 2004 01:40 PM PDT

I'm not sure an outline code or WBS code would do it either as they should
represent the position of the task in the WBS. But there are a number of
other user-definable fields you could use to capture that sort of
information. One point to consider ... MSP is accumulating costs to your
firm. Even non-billable time that you don't bill to the client is still
costing you money - Joe goes on a tech support call that is non-billable.
Even if you don't bill the client you still have to pay Joe.

Email linking capability

Posted: 25 Aug 2004 12:47 PM PDT

That's a work process thing that I don't think I would tackle in Project.

Instead, setup a email receiving system that matches your work processes
to distribute incoming emails into relevant folders. To get the
incoming mail into the right folders, perhaps easiest way is to setup
specific email address for each project. Give individuals access to
relevant email folders via their email client software. Depending on
how automated you want this to be, you could explore doing some
filtering on the incoming email on the mail server to deposit the mail
into special folders, e.g. "for action", "for info", etc. based on the
content of the email, the "from" field, header info, or whatever
distinguishes the mail.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Adding a 500% resource to a 100% one doesn't add up

Posted: 25 Aug 2004 10:26 AM PDT

Very good stuff. Your assumption of freely interchangeable resources is a
substantial one. So based upon your well argued position, I have decided to
do the right thing which is to dig deeper into the project and breaking tasks
among members to increase the parallelism of the tasks. This allows me to
more realistically allocate resources since we both know that throwing more
resources at a software development project usually only decreases the time
to completion logarithmically instead of linearly (which is the assumption I
was erroneously making in my original premise by the way).

Thanks for the stimulating discussion.

Updating Tasks Using Summary Tasks

Posted: 25 Aug 2004 07:48 AM PDT

As I mentioned, using linked inserted projects or project server you can
have the consultants handle the updates on the detail work packages and see
the results in the consolidation. Gives you the best of both worlds. Your

tasks are moving by itself from one directory to the other ones!

Posted: 25 Aug 2004 06:17 AM PDT

First lets make sure we're using the same language. When I see an outline I
refer to summary tasks and subtasks as follows:

task 1, summary
task 1.a, subtask
task 1.b, subtask
task 1.c, subtask
task 2, subtask
task 3, summary
task 3.a, subtask
task 3.b, summary
task 3.b.1, subtask
task 3.b.2, subtask
task 3.b.3, subtask
task 3.c, summary
task 3.c.1, subtask
task 3.d, subtask
task 4, summary
task 4.a, subtask ....

If a task has something indented under it, it is a summary task. If it
doesn't, it's a subtask, also called a work package or an activity. And an
important point - if you deleted all the task lines above labeled "summary"
leaving a list of everything labeled "subtask", *all* of the actual work
required to complete the project would still be listed.

Now, using my example above, what are you trying to indent or outdent and
what is happening when you do? As I read your messages it sounds if you do
something like selecting task 1b and try to further indent it to make it a
subtask of 1a (converting 1a into a summary, renaming 1b to be 1a1, and 1c
getting renamed 1b), instead 1b jumps out of sequence and moves down to
insert itself under task 3b1 or something like that. I've never heard of
anything like that happening so I must be misunderstanding what you're
describing.

1.5 days booking resource as 2 days?!

Posted: 25 Aug 2004 05:40 AM PDT

The resource graph shows peak usage for the day, that is, that maximum he is
booked at any point during the day. If the resource is working 100%,
whether its for half the day or all day or even just one minute sometime
during the day, the resource graph will show 100%. It does NOT indicate
what percent of the day he is working. If you right mouse click on one of
the graph's bars you can switch to see other units and if you'll switch from
peak units to percent allocation (in proj 2003 at least, don't recall with
earlier versions but I think they're the same) you'll see 100% on day 1 and
50% on day 2.

ADC on Server 2003 between Exchange 5.5!!!!

Posted: 02 Dec 2004 04:17 AM PST

If you are eventually going to be migrating to Exchange 2003, then
definitely use the ADC from that CD - better yet, use the ADC from Exchange
2003 SP1.

Even better, run the deployment tools from the Exchange 2003 CD. It will
completely guide you through preparing for migration (even if it will be a
while). Just run the CD and launch the deployment tools
(\support\exdeploy\exdeploy.hta). You will still want to install the ADC
from Exchange 2003 SP1, but the deployment tools are great help. Follow
each step, as there are quite a few utilities that can help you identify
where the problem might be.

As far as permissions, Permissions Admin is different from Admin. I'd make
sure that you change it to Permissions Admin.

Don't put a public webserver on your LAN - if you need it, get another
webserver and put it in your DMZ. If you don't really need another Exchange
box, which it sounds like you don't, use this server for that purpose - or
don't even use IIS for it at all. Just don't stick it inside your LAN.
 
 

You can do this, yes. 
 

No, but again, since you already have Exchange on SBS, I don't see why you
don't start with that version/installation. 
 

Yes, but mailbox quotas are also important - you have a 16GB limit per store
with SBS (and Exchange standard in general). 

Hope this helps.

Exchange DoS vulnerability due to possible named properties overflow

Posted: 29 Nov 2004 11:44 AM PST

Thanks Andy,

Either they are, or these named properties originate not from the X-headers
(though this was also an opinion of MS support engineer).

Every minute or less I am getting error events in Exchange Application log
with Event ID 9667 and 12800, with the following contents:

Failed to create a new named property for database "First Storage
Group\Mailbox Store (ServerName)" because the number of named properties
reached the quota limit (16384).
User attempting to create the named property: "BESAdmin"
Named property GUID: 00020386-0000-0000-c000-000000000046
Named property name/id: "babiche-asweat"

So my Application Log is all flooded with these errors.

Names of the named properties vary, but for the most part they are
combinations of two random words, for example:

abdominothoracic-birthplace
absolute-anteconsonantal
abundancy-canorously
accelerando-armilla
accretal-bedark
acidosteophyte-adipopexia
acronically-bronchotome
adjunction-Argean
adjunctively-bullfighting
adularescence-aval
adverseness-akepiro
aeronef-betoil
aeruginous-alalus
afghanistan-bacterial
afterwards-bicornuate

(I just took some of them to illustrate).

If this is not a DoS condition, then what is it? And how to get rid of these
named properties?

Regards,
Boris

P.S. I know about several other cases, where failed attempts to create named
properties were originated from the System account, so this is not a
Blackberry (BES) specific problem...

Either the receiving end has Joe User blocked or he/she blocks everyone and

When we try and pruge the exchange server - nothing ends up in the false
smtp connector!!!!!

however when we revert back to the normal SBS smtp connector and try doing a
forced pop3 collect using the pop3 connector or stop / restart the services.
The emails start flooding back in to the smtp connector again.

we get nothing in the basemail directory but in the queues directory we get
copies of the outgoing e-mail!!!! if we stop the services we can delete these!

It may take upto 45 minutes to before the emails start coming back.
