I am not to sure of download counts. I have downloaded a lot from both

Others that I still have loaded are not used. What I was trying to do,
to not great avail, was find out what is actually being used.
 

If people actually voted for the extensions they use on a regular basis
that would be better.

short of writing the code yourself, is to pay a developer. Most user ides are

Assuming you are using OOo 3.x simply putting a dictionary file into a
directory is *not* sufficient. The dictionary must be implemented as an
*extension* (.oxt file) and installed via the Extension Manager. See
<http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Extension_Dictionaries> for a
little more information. To discuss this in more detail send questions

[discuss] Question/Suggested addition

Posted: 03 Feb 2010 08:08 AM PST

Hi Carl:

Yes, they are different. It looks like you saw my email to Paula.
Long before I saw Oo around, in DOS, I was a user of generic CADD 5 and 6.

In its time it came on 6 1.44 Mb. Floppies.

By the time I left it, I was filling a 100 Mb. Zip disk with the results of
my work.

I used it in connection with an industrial electronics service business I
had at the time. On one occasion I was able to semi-automatically duplicate
a schematic while renumbering all the component numbers in the process to
end up with a schematic of a dual architecture machine schematic for
packaging frozen vegetables.

I think this would also be feasible in Oo Draw, but visually, the operation
would look very different from my old DOS counterpart.

If one was doing this from a text script of the vectors, they could do a lot
of selective auto-creation by dumping the vector text into a spreadsheet and
doing transformations, then re-dumping the contents back (through a DOS text
file to get rid of the spreadsheet formatting stuff), then back to the CAD
import.

In the case of Draw, the spreadsheet would be of some help, but you would
need to use it as a step by step guide while the actual work was done by
copying the block as a group, then ungrouping and doing a find/replace on
the drawing elements. This would need to be done in an extra page as a means
of preventing the find/replace from tampering with the half that was not to
be modified. Then group the changed objects, copy, paste and position in the
original page, ungroup both halves (optional), then regroup the whole thing
and size and center as a big group.

BTW, Draw can also support hierarchal groups within groups, as well (I
think) as parallel groups (This would depend on how Draw reads its grouping
codes.) This could also be tested ad hoc. That is the kind of tinkering I
always have an extra directory/folder called "experiments" for!

Over the years, I have done a lot of reinventing the wheel because I was not
satisfied with the wheels I found - definitely an out of the box thinker!

I have also worked since with AutoCAD and seen a number of other Cad
programs. Presently I prefer to use Oo Draw for that stuff as long as it can
be 2D (but actually, having come from the drafting board days originally, I
think one could nicely do double auxiliary projections in Oo Draw if they
really wanted to represent 3D to scale in there, but I wonder how many today
would know how to read them any more.)

It is very possible to control object sizes numerically in Draw. It's just
that the way it is done is somewhat different from a true Cad program.

Recently I saw an article from someone in an American University that was
using Draw somewhat this way, but I must admit that I though I felt more
comfortable with Draw than the article suggested he might have.

Cheers,

Bruce M.

I've used swriter for years, and never use the default page border format
except for quick notes to myself and as a scratch pad to copy from and paste
to another document or application.* For things that others will see, I have
created blank templates for the various documents I produce, eg. letters,
documents, pleadings and envelopes, that I can open with as few keystrokes
as the default page.* I can customize them any way I find useful, and it is
not hard to do.* Bet students could easily do this, and enjoy taking control
of their lives.* My templates generally have a "first page" with a header,
and a "default" second page with a footer containing a page number.

Haven't thought about text boxes, Is it something different from "frames?"*

good luck,

Carl

Dear OpenOffice,

This question is in regards to text boxes in OpenOffice Writer. I was
looking for a way to insert a text box, without going to the Drawing
toolbar. The drawing toolbar is not visible on our student's computer in the
library lab. Therefore, they search for it under "Insert", which would be a
logical place to find this option. However, I do not see it listed there.
Possible feature to be added in the future?

Also, most documents assigned at the high school level (and possibly
college) require 1" margins. Why are the defaults all set at .79? Another
possible future change?

Looking forward to any new editions!

installing the CRM for Exchange Router component, on Exchange funnily

how to turn off e-mail header tracking # in CRM 1.2

Posted: 14 Jun 2004 02:24 PM PDT

Here is the article.
I don't know exactly what kind of tracking are we loosing
here. Please post it if you find out.

Document ID: 34747
Date Created: 1/31/2004
Date Last Modified: 5/13/2004
Language: English - United States
Country: USA
Product: Microsoft CRM
Versions: 1.2
Modules: Microsoft CRM Documentation, Microsoft CRM Email
Router

SUMMARY

A unique tracking number appears on the subject line of e-
mail messages composed in the Microsoft CRM system. This
article describes the steps you must take to turn off the
e-mail GUID after upgrading to Microsoft CRM 1.2.

MORE INFORMATION

In version 1.0, there is a hot fix available that adds a
MessageTagBehavior value in the registry on the Exchange
Server where the Microsoft CRM Exchange E-mail Router is
installed. The hot fix allows a Microsoft CRM
Administrator to turn on or turn off the GUID in outgoing
e-mail messages. After you upgrade to Microsoft CRM 1.2,
use the registry to determine if any updates are
necessary to turn off the e-mail GUID.

Important This article contains information about
modifying the registry. Before you modify the registry,
make sure to back up the registry and make sure that you
understand how to restore the registry if a problem
occurs. For additional information about how to back up,
restore, and edit the registry, click the following link
to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-
US;256986

To check the registry value on the Exchange Server:

1. Click Start, click Run.

2. Type regedt32 in the Open: box.

3. Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSCRM.

4. You should find a registry key with a ValueName:
MessageTagBehavior

5. If this key does not exist, create the key using the
following values:

Value Type: DWORD key value
Value Name: MessageTagBehavior
Value data: 0

6. If the Value data is set to Null or 1, the tracking
number will be attached to the subject line of the e-mail
messages. If the Value data is 0, the tracking number is
not attached to outgoing e-mails.

7. Stop and restart the Microsoft CRM Exchange Queue
Service for the new setting to take effect.

If the e-mail tracking is turned off (value data is set
to 0), the Microsoft CRM system will no longer generate
the unique tracking number. In addition, this results in
the loss of the Microsoft CRM system's ability to
automatically track incoming e-mail.

How can I mix 2-column formatting with footnotes within a document that also contains two single columns?

Posted: 21 Sep 2013 11:56 AM PDT

Word 2010 is unexpectedly inserting a page break and upsetting my desired layout when I add footnotes.  I have a two page Word 2010 document that is laid out as follows:
  • It has a single column header.
  • Below the header it has a two-column layout.  Text within these two columns contains footnotes that appear at the bottom of each page.
  • The second page needs another single-column section below the two column area.
Below the two columns, I have a photograph that stretches the entire width of the second page.  I would like this document to be exactly two pages in length.  I've been able to get it to two pages with the photo with the condition that I do not apply any footnotes to the second page.  This is unacceptable, as I need to provide the footnotes to text on the second page.

For formatting, I'm using Continuous Section Break elements, as prescribed in other posts.  To replicate this same behavior with one page, follow these steps.

Step 1:  Open Word 2010 and type the text below.
Top

Column 1

Column 2

Bottom


Step 2:  Highlight all the text via Ctrl+A and select "No Spacing" on the Home tab.  Also, while in the Home tab turn on the Paragraph button so you can see the formatting indicators in the document.

Step 3:  Now highlight just "Column 1" and "Column 2".

Step 4:  Select Page Layout > Columns > Two.


Now you will see the desired layout, where all four sections appear on the same page.  After "Top" you should see "Section Break (Continuous)" and after "Column 2" you will also see "Section Break (Continuous)".  So far so good.


Step 5:  Place your cursor beside Column 1. Then select References > Insert Footnote.


You now have a two page document.  Scroll down and you will see "Bottom" at the top of the second page.  I did not expect this text to move to a second page.  First, it wastes a huge block of space on Page 1.  Second, I never inserted a "Section Break (Next Page)".


Be that as it may, how can I work around this problem? Can I insert a table with invisible borders? Or do I just need to break out Notepad and write some HTML to achieve the desired result?  Thanks for your help.

Problem opening documents.

Posted: 21 Sep 2013 11:29 AM PDT

Purchased new computer about 8 mos. ago. It had Office 2010 Starter Edition on it--thought we were good to go. Now all the documents turned orange and we can't open them. We are being prompted to buy Office 2010 Pro for $99 per year. We already have a disc with Windows Office XP Pro complete with key. We were told at the store that since we had already bought this, we didn't need to buy it again. We could install it on the new computer. But I didn't uninstall the 2010 one, so all the documents are in that, and I don't know how to get them into the old program now, or if that is possible. We can "try" the new program free for a month, and then they will open, but I don't know if we can then reformat them into the XP program, or if both will work on the computer at the same time. If I can't get this question answered here, I will do one of two things: Call my computer whiz brother or take it back to the store and let one of their guys figure it out. Any suggestions? Don't like being held hostage like this!

Changing file associations for Office 2013

Posted: 21 Sep 2013 10:37 AM PDT

I recently installed a Click-to-run version of Office 2013 Pro on W7, which works well most of the time. I also have Office 2003 installed, and a recent (not the latest) update seems to have fouled up my file associations. This is what my Word associations look like now, for example:



It's not just the associations: the icons and filetypes don't look right, either. There's no executable for the Office 15 programs, so I can't use the Change program... function.

How can I correct these to ensure that the Open command will invoke the Office 2013 version of the program for all Office files?

I want to be able to use Office 2003 programs since I find it easier to collaborate with others using pre-2007 versions.

When I try to open a Word document I get a message that says I have to activate my Office software. It says I need to insert my product key again (this software has been on my computer for 3 years). When I re-insert the product key, it says the key is invalid. Any help would be awesome!!!

Follow number on Heading1 of a list style with a newline character (Word)

Posted: 21 Sep 2013 09:55 AM PDT

Hello,

I am using list styles in a doc. I selected just the number to show it up in a larger font than the text following the number. However, I would like to include a newline character after the number so that the text is in the next line. I came across the option of "Follow with" in the list style but it doesnot have a newline option. Any ideas on how this can be done? BTW, I still need that text to be part of the Heading1 style so that it gets included in the TOC with the number in a different style as per TOC1. The TOC is meeting my expectations so far, though.

Thanks

I'm trying to start Microsoft Query from the Select Data Sources dialog in Word 2007 (Select Data Source -> Tools Button ->MS Query) and nothing happens.  I've tried this on three separate machines each running Office 2007 and Windows 7 64 Bit with the same result.  Is this option no longer available?

Office Starter 2010 changed format of stored files both on hard drive and USB drives

I have office starter 2010 pre installed on my Gateway Computer which I have used for almost a year.  Recently, the system changed all my stored files to files which can't be opened in the normal manner. Files can be opened by

How can I go back to the way they were previously stored?

Office Click-to-Run 2010 doesn't work

Posted: 21 Sep 2013 03:51 AM PDT

I have Office Starter 2010 pre-installed on my computer and some time ago it stopped working. When I try to open either Word or Excel the usual dialog box pops up that says something along the lines of starting Microsoft Office Click-to-Run (it's not in English but that's the general meaning) and it just stays like that forever. That box stays open until I close it manually by terminating cvh.exe on task manager.
I tried uninstalling Office Starter by the instructions given here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=uk&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c02981221#N301
but it had no effect, the same problem still remains. It seems to me that the problem is with Microsoft Office Click-to-Run, not the Office Starter. Is there any way to reinstall or fix it?

Spacing within a text box

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 06:50 PM PDT

 

My problem: spacing within a text box.

 

I am trying to put a textbox underneath my table. In ALL other tables it works fine… the spacing is correct (i.e. figure 1) and it looks good. But in ONE particular case (fig 2), the spacing is wrong. I have tried many different ways to fix this. I have copied the box, and pasted under the new table. I have restarted from scratch and have created a new textbox under the  new table. The formatting in both is Apparently identical. I have checked the spacing, line before and after etc… every item is exactly the same.. is there something else that I can do? I don't understand why… whats interesting is … if I make the textbox under the first table.. it looks correct.. then drag or paste under the new table, it looks incorrect, but then if I drag or paste it back under the original table it goes back to looking correct. I have looked at the spacing on the pages.. they are the same.

 

(So it looks like my figures did not upload... I have pics of what is happening that I would like to share)... but Im not sure how to put them up.

 

Thanks for any help.

I uninstalled Microsoft Word 2010, how do I get it back?

Microsoft Word 2010 documents turned into Microsoft Office files that I can't open?

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 08:35 AM PDT

All of my Word documents have somehow changed to Microsoft Office files that I can't open. When I try to open my documents, the Microsoft Office window pops up, saying "The Microsoft Office product necessary to open this file is not installed on your computer" and doesn't allow me to open them. When I try to open/save important documents onto my computer from the internet, I also get the same Windows Office popup. The little blue paper with the "W" has changed to an orange sheet of paper, and instead of saying "Rich Text Format" under the file type, they all say "DOCX File."

I would really appreciate help to solve this problem as soon as possible, as all of these documents are very important for school. Thank you so much in advance.

Microsoft Works 7 Works Word Files - Database Confusion/Corruption

Posted: 07 Jan 2006 08:25 AM PST

Thanks for the replies, Ken and Debra, sorry if I did not make it clear that
I was dealing with Works Word the whole time. I won't be able to let you know
whether your kind directions will solve the problem until late on Monday as I
will not be accessing the computer suite again till that time. But I will be
printing off your instructions to take with me.

My only reservation about this is how a student learner could inadvertently
(and with this particular learner there is a low probability of deliberate
tampering) have changed the folder options (in relation to file extensions)
as the problem had not occured previously. Which is why I was leaning towards
the "corruption" angle. Anyhow, I will get back to you with this one.

Thanks again for the speedy and informative replies.

How to download to works

Posted: 05 Jan 2006 11:03 PM PST

Hi Thom,

Files have extension, they are the last three characters of a file name such
as .doc, .jpg, .htm, .gif that lets a Windows based computer know what the
file type is (word document, excel document, graphic, etc.)

In your case the extension of the downloaded e-mail attachment is associated
with WordPad.

By default "Hide extensions for known file types" is checked. In case you
do not see the extension of your files, lets uncheck it. I unchecked mine
long ago.

Go to the Control panel and double click Folder Options, or open My
Documents, choose Tools on the menu bar, then choose Folder Options on it's
menu, either way opens the Folder Options dialog popup.

In the Folders Option dialog, choose the View tab, uncheck "Hide extensions
for known file types", click OK.

The following is one way to change the program that open a file.

First you need to save the downloaded e-mail attachment to a folder if you
have not done so already.

Locate the attachment, then right click it, choose Properties.

On the Properties dialog popup, select the General tab, under Opens with:
click Change. (takes some time for the next dialog popup to display).

In the Open with dialog popup, locate and select the Microsoft Word
Processor you want to use, click OK.

Note: This change affects all files that have the same file name extension
as the file you selected. For example, if you change the program that opens
a .doc file, all .doc files will open in the new program.

When opening the attachment it should now open in the Word program you
selected.

I am on a WindowsMe operating system, Windows XP should have the same popup
dialogs I described.

By the way, if you want to view all the extensions on your system, go to
Folder Options and select the File Types tab.

Hope this helps,
Ken

PLEASE HELP! Printing problem using Works 8.0 & Labels

Posted: 05 Jan 2006 11:02 AM PST

Hi,

Your first problem was only one label on a 30 label sheet prints out.

Now you say it is the same problem, except you write, "tried to import some
labels I previously printed out with no problems, but when it came time for
Works to import the fields, the box disappeared and went back to the
microsoft works 8.0 selections page (ie: documents, labels, envelopes,
etc.)"

Doesn't sound like the same problem to me.

My first thought was perhaps there might be a printer software problem.
Works uses the printer software for many functions.

As you did not have similar problem displaying print preview in other modes
except labels, assumed printer software is okay.

My next thought was perhaps the .cvs file might be corrupt. thus my
suggestion to try a different data source.

If you are sure the data sources are okay, then I do not know what the
problem is.

You could try following these instruction to use the cleanup utilities.

Good luck,
Ken

Works 2003- "Word"

Posted: 04 Jan 2006 12:00 PM PST

Hi lees,

The cleanup utilities solve most problems.

I am not sure why, when inserting Suite 2003 disk, it does not run.

Suggest, after inserting disk choose Start on the desktop, on it's menu
choose My Computer

Locate and right click the drive with Suite 2003 disk, then choose Explore.

Can't get Works 7.0 calendar file to work with Works 8.0

Posted: 03 Jan 2006 10:44 PM PST

Hi ToBo,

My calendar (Works 6.0) goes back to early 2003 and it's mswkscal.wcd data
file size is 2.34 MB.

It probably would be larger except for the crash I had then and learned from
this news group to back up the mswkscal.wcd data file. Remember to backup
yours.

Reaction to things I click on in the calendar or even when opening is almost
instantaneous.

If you think there is a problem with Works causing response time you might
try doing another power-down, if that doesn't help, perhaps a clean install
using the cleanup utilities, instruction can be found here....
http://support.gateway.com/s/SOFTWARE/MICROSOF/sHARED/7513181faq24.shtml

Programs running in the background can cause slowness, more info about
background programs can be found here.

There are other calendars available, some in this news group like the Free
ClickTray calendar http://www.waseo.de/articles.php?lng=en&pg=34

I have Works 4.5a, and it was purchased in Australia, so I'm wondering
about this:

"Note The Wp2krtf.exe text converter is only available for the U.S.
version of the programs listed at the beginning of this article",
from:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=246566

but I can only give it a try.
 

Okay. There aren't many WDB files, but heaps of WKS files. I'm
wondering if Works can be run from a DOS shell ? Of course, I may get
the 'can only be run in windows' message, but my thinking was, if I
can parse parameters to wrks, from a DOS .bat file, to emulate the WKS
conversion, then maybe it can all be done in batch mode ?

I do know to use a WKS in Excel,, you open the file in Works, save it
as XLS, and the conversion is good, no data lost.

Thanks,

Peter
