[discuss] marking paragraphs

Posted: 20 Aug 2009 07:40 AM PDT

Sorry, of course it was the left which I pressed four times. I have
the Open Office 3.1 where they recommend in the Help point 4 under
"Select" to press the button threee times for a line and perhaps more
times for a paragraph. This corresponds to my four times for a
paragraph. But since you need a paragraph rather than a line they
should give the help "four times for a paragraph" unless this differs
in different Macs.
Thank you, Axel

[discuss] New idea and request for OPENOFFICE

Posted: 10 Aug 2009 03:13 PM PDT

Hi,

OpenOffice.org has been capable of writing texts vertically from
the beginning, OpenOffice.org 1.0.

To enjoy with it, in short, with a word processor, Writer,
Format - Page - Page - Text Direction - Right-to-left (vertical).

If no such a choice is shown there, go Tools - Options - Language
Settings - Language, then enable "Enabled for Asian languages."

Also: when you define a Print Range (menu Format|Print Range|..) , that
is the only part of the spreadsheet that is printed. (Unless you use
"Print selection")
There can be print ranges on each sheet of the spreadsheet document.

Kindest regards,

their opinion (shoudl it be managed by the OOo organisation? Should it
be managed by "something/somebody" external to the OOo organisation?"
B) What could be the sexy/pragmatic way to collect the
features/bugs/improvements to be sponsored? a "push" approach: the items
are displayed, (with a cost?) and waiting for sponsors or a "pull"
approach: waiting for offers of sponsors calling for such or such

[discuss] problems with update.

Posted: 26 Jul 2009 12:35 PM PDT

Resending, with CC to OP.

On Sat, 25 Jul 2009 08:34:10 -0700 (PDT)
Came this utterance formulated by Guru to my mailbox:
 

I hear your frustration. The update tool is a bit of a dog. It downloads
the full version of OpenOffice.org anyway. Sounds like you got a slow or
distant mirror.

I recommend turning it off, subscribing to the announce mailing list and
then waiting to be notified every time a new version comes out. The
announce list only has one or two emails a month.

By the way, it is not *my* update feature; I am a fellow user of the
program as are ~90% of the people on this mailing list. So when you send
a snotty email you are likely to get snotty replies, in triplicate, from
happy users who are zealous in the defence of their baby. Crossposting
will make this worse, i hope you have a flameproof suit?

Anyone know how to work out which mirror he is using?

[discuss] saving odt files unzipped

Posted: 16 Jun 2009 04:47 PM PDT

Alexandro Colorado wrote:
 

Just to avoid confusion, let me go into details here.

Maybe in the beginning OOo 1.x was not able to handle more than 4 custom
properties correctly (I don't remember that exactly), but at least
OOo2(!).0 was able to load and save them, so they were not ignored. OOo
didn't have a UI to show them before 3.1, but they could be accessed via
Basic.

In OOo2.4 we also added support for these properties in Writer text fields:

http://blogs.sun.com/GullFOSS/entry/custom_properties_and_fields

So now there was a way to make custom properties visible.

In 3.0 finally we added support for arbitrary meta data. ODF allows to
put any kind of meta data into meta.xml, not only properties, and before
3.0 we just ignored that. Now this data is read, preserved and written
again (we keep the whole DOM tree of meta.xml internally instead of just
picking up the properties in it as before).

OOo 3.1 finally also has got a new UI for displaying custom properties.
 

As I wrote, that was fixed already a long time ago. Maybe you didn't
have custom properties, but custom meta data? This was fixed in 3.0.
Regards,
Mathias

Of course an extension is needed here. As OOo itself does not have any
functionality using smart tags my answer automatically included that.
Last year I was in contact with someone who was interested in developing
such an extension, but finally we didn't start the project.

The idea behind smart tags in OOo is that text can be "tagged" and
extensions can tell OOo which functionality they can apply to text with
a particular tag.

You can install AutoUpdater from the Office 2008 disk. You do not have to

Here is what you do
1. Start installation as you did the first time
2. Continue to the "installation Type" pane
3. click customize
4. unselect all packages listed and then click install
Autoupdate will be installed again

now you should be able to use this auto update to get office 2008 updates.

If mankind is causing global warming because of greenhouse

solar system planets?

Also, water vapor is the biggest greenhouse gas on Earth and
the levels of CO2 and other gases are tiny and do not change
enough to account for the level of warming.

Check out the Sun's weather and you'll find that this is a
cycle man can't control.

Corrupted Databases, Data exists but can't be accessed.

Posted: 14 Sep 2005 12:36 AM PDT

Actually, all the data in a wdb (like field formulas) is binary, so all you
can get from an ascii copy is records data.
Fixing the field names and regaining the formulas is what I need; especially
as I spent a lot of time designing the form (Colors, sizes, position, etc.)

Usually, especially when designing a db, I make one of the records a
"formula text" going to each field with a formula, and override the entry
with a " prefix ("formulas), which would have preseved formulas for an ascii
or txt view.

Another trick I use is to save as a dbf 4, which preserves all the field
names (but nothing else useful).

Thanks. I guess I just have to eat this one.
=======================
Rename file from *.wdb to *.txt. You should be able to open it with Works WP
and get the ascii information at least.

Microsoft Word - MS Word 2010 Text Formatting Problem

Microsoft Word - MS Word 2010 Text Formatting Problem


MS Word 2010 Text Formatting Problem

Posted: 28 Aug 2013 02:23 PM PDT

Hi Microsoft Community,

I've been trying to copy text from one word document to another, but when I paste the text from the donor document into the recipient document, the formatting changes.

I know this is caused by the difference in formatting styles from one page to another but although I've pasted using the option of keeping source formatting, it still mucks up the order of text and words aren't on lines where they should be as per the donor document.

Note: I am pasting this onto a section break page but the problem still persists on a page break.

Could you please give me a solution.

Thanks in advance.

Cannot print readable barcode in Word 2010

Posted: 28 Aug 2013 02:01 PM PDT

A barcode label I print-merge from Word 2010 is unreadable by my Symbol(r) scanner.  For that matter, my phone can't read it.

HOWEVER, Printing the same text, copy-and-paste into Excel 2010, produces a readable barcode!

 

I last made a set of labels when I had Word 2007, if that's any clue

 

I printed to the same printer each time, an HP LaserJet.

I tried flipping settings: PostScript over text, print in grayscale, best quality, draft quality, etc.

I know I have to place asterisks, to wit: *BARCODE*

 

What setting am I missing?

 

So, what is the difference in how Word and Excel print??!!!?!!!?

Headers Microsoft Word

Hi
  I have a 600 page document that I need to print out but I noticed a mistake in the header. When I changed the header on page 1, it did not change the other 599 pages. Please tell me there is an easy, quick way to change the header to all 600 pages? 
I'm using Microsoft Office 2010 and it's supposed to be the same header for every single page.
Thanks so much!

Table breaking across pages - keep with next not working

Posted: 28 Aug 2013 11:01 AM PDT

I have several tables in my Word 2010 document that are breaking across pages.  They are two row, single column tables with a picture in the top row and the caption in the bottom row.  The caption is ending up on a different page from the picture.  I am familiar with using "keep with next" in the paragraph properties for the top row to solve this problem, and it works in a "test" document, but not in my "real" document which is a long and complicated report.  This isn't a problem with individual rows breaking across pages (I have disabled that in table properties).

Any thoughts about where else to look to solve this problem?

Office 2013 won't print PDFs

Posted: 28 Aug 2013 10:36 AM PDT

I have just installed Office 2013.  When I try to print a document using any Office 2013 application (Word, Excel or PowerPoint) using Adobe PDF (version 9.5.5) the application locks up and says 'Not Responding'.  If I open Office 2010 and print the same document as PDF there is absolutely no issue.  So the problem appears to be with Office 2013.  Can anyone help?
Thank you.

paste nested table

Posted: 28 Aug 2013 10:05 AM PDT

I am working in Word 2007. I have a two cell table in a header, and I need to paste a nested single cell table into the left cell of the header table. I have to use this approach due to the inner workings of an external Mail Merge based tool. That nested single cell table has row and column dimension control that is required.
So, once I have this done in one document, I would of course like to copy/paste into other documents. But when I paste just the single cell table, Word deletes the table and leaves me with the contents in the left cell of the parent table. This happens even when I choose Paste as Nested Table. I am hoping someone has a setting to turn of "Word over think" behavior so it will just do as it's told. Or an alternative workflow. Or even just verification that this is a bug that got fixed in a more recent version.

Thanks,
Gordon

How to buy in South Korea

Hi,

I'm interested in buying office 2013 for one computer only. I just have 2 questions. If I buy office 2013 in South Korea (where I am currently working), will the programs still be in English? I can't read any Korean so....

Also, if I get a new computer but I deactivate the one on this one and reinstall it on another computer, will it still work/count as a registered product?

What do I need to be aware of before switching to dotm templates from dot?

Posted: 28 Aug 2013 08:25 AM PDT

Hi all,

Customer has a large number of templates (150 or so) and am about to do an update to most of them (automated thankfully).  They are all older .dot templates.  I was thinking of updating them all to .dotm while I was at it.

But before I do that, is this going to cause me a lot of work because of some unknown (by me that is) landmines that I might be triggering e.g. will I have to go around to each PC (about 35 of them) and update any security settings?  And is there anything else I need to be aware of?

Thanks,

Can i Delete from an oracle table using word vba.

Posted: 28 Aug 2013 08:24 AM PDT


ok so using the active x data objects 2.1 to load data from a database (oracle) and i get my select statement working perfectly and i can read the data into vba variables for messing about with in VBA!

However i have a one off requirement to delete one row of data off the data base after i have read it in.

Any idea's on how to delete it? trawled the web and all the answers are based on access.  i have tried to modify those things but had little success. i believe this needs to be run as a command instead of into a recordset?

any help would be appreciated.

Mail Merge Edit Recipient Easy Click

Posted: 28 Aug 2013 08:12 AM PDT

When I export an excel list to word in the mail merge program, I have the option to edit recipient list after selecting my file.  When I get to the edit recipient list, I have a list/line of boxes I can check to include or exclude names/items from the list, choosing which ones will end up as labels.  It requires clicking on sometimes hundreds of boxes.  In Quickbooks, I can hold down the right mouse key and scroll down the list, which checks all the boxes as I scroll through.  Let go of the right mouse button and the process stops.  Is there any way to have this kind of functionality with the mail merge edit recipient process?

Opening new document from template

Posted: 28 Aug 2013 08:05 AM PDT

I've been having this problem for a while now when trying to create a new document, either on Word 2010 or Excel 2010. I click on File -> New. Then if I double click on the "Blank workbook" or "Blank document", nothing happens. I have to click once to select the template, and then hit enter. It's not a major nuisiance, but I would rather be able to double click as I used to do. I'm using Office 2010.

Word 2013 - why extra step to open a document?

Posted: 28 Aug 2013 06:13 AM PDT

in Word 2010 you just open Word, then do
  1. File
  2. Open, and  it opens your Documents library.
in Word 2013 you open Word, then
  1. Open
  2. computer
  3. NOW you see your documents library, and can open it

okay, so I know it is just an extra step, but users are complaining.


is there any way to make it more like 2010?

border printing problem

Posted: 28 Aug 2013 06:03 AM PDT

When I use Word 2010 to create a border around text or a picture the border will not print. It shows on the preview page but will not print. I didn't have this problem when I first purchased the Office Home and Student 2010 software. This is a recent problem. 2007 word documents print fine. Any suggestions?

Can't open office files which are for previous version or in protected view

Posted: 28 Aug 2013 03:34 AM PDT

When I get some office files (word, excel, etc) which are saved in previous version (I'm using Office 2013) or get files which are in protected view, I can't open them and when I clicked on them, just word splash screen (the small blue -for word- screen which start add-ons, and load setting) showed up and it stops on that and I have to close that splash screen.

What is the problem?

Can't Remove Mystery Table

Posted: 28 Aug 2013 02:46 AM PDT

All the text in my 74-page document is in a table. The table is preventing my book from being published by Smashwords. I use Word 2007, but the document has to be saved as Word 97-2003. Other books formatted at the same time, using the same Styles menu have published OK. In this one, each paragraph seems to be in a row. When I click on borders, the table shows. If I click in the table, the table tools ribbon does not appear, so I can't convert to text. No table menu appears if I right click. Pasting to Notepad & back does not destroy the table. Pasting to Excel and back as un-formatted text does not remove the table.  Pasting one line of the text from Notepad to Word brings the table formatting back with it, so I can't even rescue the text a line at a time. I would be so grateful for help.

Can you change a film's reference to display a film's director as the author, rather than the film's screenwriter?

Posted: 27 Aug 2013 11:27 PM PDT

I'm referencing a Feature Film (Se7en) in my essay, but when I reference it (Chicago 16th Edition) it uses the film's writer as the author, when in fact it should be the director:

(Walker 1995)


Walker, Andrew Kevin. 1995. Se7en. Film. Directed by David Fincher. Produced by Arnold Kopelson and Phyllis Carlylle. Performed by Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman. New Line Cinema.


When it should be:


(Fincher 1995)


Fincher, David. 1995. Se7en. Film. Written by Andrew Kevin Walker. Produced by Arnold Kopelson and Phyllis Carlylle. Performed by Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman. New Line Cinema.


Is there a way to change this?

 

Create a 3-column sorted list in a template

Posted: 27 Aug 2013 08:35 PM PDT

I am trying to create a template for meeting minutes using Word 2007. Ideally, I'd like to type a list of names in (the attendees), and have them automatically format into a 3-column list that's sorted alphabetically. I can think of a few ways to do this (e.g., using columns or a table), but I'm not sure how to have the list automatically sort when I enter the names. I'd like to avoid having people do the formatting manually, if possible.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

word 2010 shuts down when closing a merge document

Formatting changes and fewer lines per page in word 2013 compared to 2010?

Posted: 27 Aug 2013 05:59 PM PDT

I have 2-page documents created in Word 2010 that I opened on a new computer with Word 2013. All settings are the same (page size, fonts and points, spacing, margins, etc). The 2013 version is now 2.5 pages vs the original 2 pages using the 2010 version. Sentences are broken in different places and there are about 10 fewer lines per page in 2013. I tried to change the display option to 2010 but it didn't change anything. Is there any way to revert back to the original formatting?

Installed Office Home & Student 2013 on Windows 8 in February and worked, but now Word won't open

Posted: 27 Aug 2013 05:16 PM PDT

When ever I attempt to open Word a box comes up asking me if I want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer. The program name is Microsoft Word, verified publisher: Microsoft Corp. Whether I click Yes or No I then get this message: We're sorry, but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Word will need to be closed as a result. Would you like to repair now? When I hit repair now it as if I want a Quick Repair or online.  I've done both and end up right back where I started when I attempt to open Word. I've uninstalled the program and reinstalled and still no luck. Excel, Powerpoint both work, just not Word.

How to get images to display in draft layout?

Posted: 27 Aug 2013 05:11 PM PDT

If I paste an image into a Word document, it is only visible in print layout (page mode), not in draft layout (normal view).

But, if I first paste it into Visio and then paste that image into Word, it is visible in both layouts.

I could not find a way to attach a Word document, so I created a screen shot as a JPG. I couldn't get that to upload (I kept getting "The connection was reset"), so I created a shared DropBox folder containing both the Word document and the JPG image. Here's the link:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/o9ah4faeul14sq8/6CQUKgWs47

If I select the first image, I see square handles. If I click on the second image, I see round handles. Clearly, these images are being stored in different formats.

My question is : How can I get all images to display in both print and draft layout?

The "Show picture placeholders" option is not checked.

Thanks

Problems with "Save"

Posted: 27 Aug 2013 04:32 PM PDT

Hi everyone!

I have been having a problema wjen saving files in Office. Whenever I hit the "Save" button or give the "Save" command, the process goes slow on me  (veeeeeery sloooooooow), it takes more tan five minutes for it to process. I will be writting a document, I hit save, then the saving box appears and the process freezes. I can not cancel, allthough I can go to a different application (in Word or other). Any suggestions as to what may be happening and how I can fix this? this started about two weeks ago.

 

thanks!

Yet again, Word is slow to close

Posted: 27 Aug 2013 04:07 PM PDT

Hello.

Yet again, another request for some ideas about how to "fix" the slow close in Windows.  Points:
1) Purchased new Dell computer five days ago. 
2) Installed Office 2010.
3) When I click on the "x" to close a word document, the little wheel goes round, and round, and round for about 3-5 seconds. Ultimately, the document closes.
4) Tried replacing Normal template. Not corrupted. No change.
5) Uninstalled. Ran CCleaner to remove leftover registry bits. Reinstalled. No change

One observation: When I open and close Word documents from a flash drive -- no problem. When I open/close from my hard drive = problem. Could I have a faulty hard drive?

Other suggestions?

Thanks.
