[discuss] Any MS Outlook in OpenOffice Posted: 07 Jun 2008 10:41 AM PDT Nokia, with the exception of the occasional MS mole or two, has as a company policy of strong support for open standards and lately even open source. The next platforms are to be built on a modified Debian called Maemo and even sponsoring porting Ubuntu to the ARM architecture. If they don't sync with your Nokia. It should sync, but if it doesn't then that capability is probably not far off. Be sure to file bug reports on both sides. -Lars --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: org For additional commands, e-mail: org |
[discuss] a quick question Posted: 05 Jun 2008 04:13 PM PDT On Sun, 2008-06-08 at 02:19 -0500, Alexandro Colorado wrote: Inkscape is similar to OOo and good for graphic design for pages. www.inkscape.org. A key difference is Inkscape's full support for the svg standard. Inkscape is an Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Xara X, using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format. Inkscape supports many advanced SVG features (markers, clones, alpha blending, etc.) and great care is taken in designing a streamlined interface. It is very easy to edit nodes, perform complex path operations, trace bitmaps etc. A combination of Inkscape and OOo Writer or Scribus is going to give you a far more professional publishing product than MS Publisher.

[discuss] [dev] Suggestions for a new Community Council structure Posted: 04 Jun 2008 04:54 AM PDT Hi, Datatude schrieb: I'd guess you never tried. Just use Chatzilla (FF-Extension https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/16) and use irc://irc.freenode.net/#openoffice.org There are many clients, that have a better user interface but provide the same simple way of system integration but have no vendor lock-in in to one server system. For the meeting about disussing Community (council) ideas: we first should setup a time, provide the URL for easy log in to have a number of interested people. At the moment I only see two people (you and me) discussion the idea of a chat .. that is by far to few people to be relevant "for the community".

[discuss] please inform me asap Posted: 30 May 2008 01:30 AM PDT Hi! (1) AutoCorrect is language-sensitive. Note that some typos in one language can make senese in another one. Thus you must assure that you have the desired AutoCorrection entries for the same language that is set in the document. (2) When adding AutoText entries... After you entered the "Replace" and "With" field, you have to click "New" in to get that entry into the list. Only clicking "OK" quits the dialog without adding anything to the list. Hope this helped. Regards Stefan niXon Chan wrote: --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: org For additional commands, e-mail: org |
[discuss] [OT] Linux talk on WizIQ for June 3rd Posted: 25 May 2008 01:38 PM PDT Well the talk won't be focused as much on OpenOffice.org (I will be doing OOo on a different talk). But yeah is a great idea to talk about Linux could run on Mac althought I will have to be careful since most Mac OS7/8 will so little RAM that it might not be able for OOo 2.x to run. Also yellow dog linux might be too fat nowadays too.

[discuss] How can I remove the language attribute from textin Writer? Posted: 13 May 2008 01:21 AM PDT Cor Nouws wrote: You know it: Set the default language to "English (US)" Enter in two lines of text with random text with an Enter at the end. (You might include "colour" in the first line and "color" in the second line) Highlight the first line & make it as "English (GB)". (The word "colour" will no longer have redline) Copy something from the middle of the second line. (Eg: Use the word "color") Paste it in middle of the first line as unformatted text or OpenOffice.org text. Put the cursor in the middle where the text was pasted. It still reads "English (GB)", the word "color" is redlined and paste is not 100% completely unformatted. But it is still an attribute of the text which is stored in Paragraph/Character styles. I'd excepted that "Reset" and "Default Formatting" should remove a layer of formatting per application. Why languages are still selectable in that pane anyway? If I press "Reset", I expect all overriding attributes in that pane to be cleared including language. Maybe if you move the languages under its own pane in the style editor where the "Reset" button would make proper sense. Note! There are three languages in the style editor, but not one. I have CJK & CTL modes enabled. I generally need to use Ruby & other CJK formatting in my STL documents. Someday, it may be possible for a font to have metadata to allow some the glyphs to appear different for certain languages. I don't know any rendering engines or fonts that supports such metadata, but I put that there for a possibility. This metadata feature would be especially useful for Pan-CJK fonts & Pan-Unicode fonts. Yet! Why there isn't a "Reset All" button to have a Reset to include Language, or an "Advanced Reset" to allow me to Reset on per-attribute basis. I want full control of document formatting. The inability of or complications in removing non-stylesheet language formatting doesn't meet that goal. That maybe a possibility if double-click on paragraph style's name twice is implemented. Also, a triple click to remove non-stylesheet language. As a sidenote! I can't override "Default" character style definition, but I can override the "Default" paragraph style definition. I'd not expect to write English in an Esperanto paragraph, and vice versa. :-) Here is another example for use of "default" language: If I am composing educational documents with versions for different English language markets. The documents contains intentional examples of regional variations with manual language formatting. When I ready to create a version of a document for a English Language market. I just change the language dialect of the paragraph style to see the red lines for color/colour, etc. for fixing up spelling, but all intentional examples containing regional variation examples will not be affected by the redline effect. Another example that I might be writing a script for a stageshow which contains characters who use different dialects of English and/or foreign languages, but I want all the non-dialog text (eg: Instructions for actors) to be only in a single English dialect. Look, the paragraph/character stylesheets still have language options. If you say that language is no longer stylesheet related, wy are they "still" there in stylesheet options? You don't realize that some languages may have different paragraph layout requirements so the language attribute is an important part of the paragraph stylesheet. The stylesheet linked "default" language behaviour still exists in OpenOffice.org 2.4 try it. I create a new style "Default (GB)" which is a copy of "Default" but with "English (GB)". The original default is set to "English (US)" I write line of text with paragraph style "Default". (Use example text "color colour") Put the cursor in the middle of line, bottom of screen reads "English (US)". I change the line to paragraph style "Default (GB)" The bottom of screen reads "English (GB)" I change the line back to paragraph style "Default" The bottom of screen reads "English (US)" Yep! The "Default" language is still linked to stylesheets. I still consider that language is an attribute of paragraph and character. Why the stylesheet options for them still have language options in them? Without the ability to easily remove non-stylesheet languages, I would have to write a OpenDocument XML tool to strip all non-stylesheet languages to correct theis "problem" which 2.4 had created. Yep! The language attribute in Character/Paragraph styless still exist at OpenDocument.org XML level. Next, you would say that you can't remove |lang:en-US> in the future "Reveal-Codes" enabled version of OpenOffice.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: org For additional commands, e-mail: org |
