Re: [Evolution] sorting of contacts
Hi, You can not sort records in the child window (opened after pressing "To"). However if you enter last name in "search" it will show matching records. Also if you start typing initial characters of last name in "To:" field it will show you matching records. Evolution has a good "Auto complete" feature. You also need to check the settings. Edit-->Preferences-->Auto completion. Select the appropriate address book. I hope I have understood your question correctly and answered.

[Evolution] Synching data on 2 machines
I feel sure this must have been asked and dealt with before, but I can't find it, so please forgive me if this goes over ground already covered. I've only recently started to use Evo (2.12.2) in PCLinuxOS 2007 - and I'm beginning to like it a lot. The one problem I have however is this. I work on two machines in two different locations. I need therefore to synchronize on a daily basis all my data on both, especially my diary and address book. (Mail is no problem as I use an IMAP server). How do I do this? I've tried copying my user/.evolution folder and sometimes this has worked and sometimes not - I've no idea why there should be that inconsistency. It seems to me there must be a lot of people in the same situation as myself so there has to be a simple answer - I hope! - I'm relatively new to Linux as well as to Evo. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Jeff Grant ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Re: [Evolution] Evolution on Kubuntu (was: Default Paper Size)
Hello, actual Evolution (2.21.x) uses gnome_sound_play to play user's sound file. I guess it was there before too. How to persuade this function to handle ogg files correctly is unfortunately out of my knowledge.

Re: [Evolution] palm pilot sync problems

Is there somewhere else I should be looking. I am using SUSE 10.2 Jennifer Hi Jennifer, It is probably because you have not installed the Evolution-pilot packages. Once you do that you should see a full set of conduits. yast2 evolution-pilot I suppose should do it. I have only used Suse once. Excuse the rustiness.

Re: [Evolution] looking for a dictionary
Hello, Evolution uses gnome-spell, and it uses aspell on my box, so installing appropriate aspell-xx package into your system (I guess aspell-es) and choose in Edit->Preferences->Composer Preferences, tab Spell Checking that language should work for you. You can change it in composer window itself in Edit->Current Languages. I'm not sure how it works on ubuntu, but should very similar (the package name, I meant).

[Evolution] Embedding a spreadsheet chart into email
As much as I am a proponent of Open Source, this is one place where integrated apps from a single vendor shine: a drag-and-drop from Excel into Outlook and your done<\bait>. Of course, most all of my email is text, not HTML, which Evolution does much better than Exchange (in that it allows text to be formatted, or, most importantly, not formatted, so I can cut-and-paste commands and command line output without the emailer "smartly" mangling... except, when replying w/ Evolution, when it inserts ">" at the fronts of lines, it then thinks it'll be smart and wrap the line that even Exchange replies leaves the text correctly verbatim... but I digress). But, every once in awhile, I need to make a fancy email with charts and graphs and B.S. to please upper management. I have not figured out a way to insert Open Office charts into Evolution. The only way I've figured out so far is to use Excel to create the chart, save the spreadsheet as HTML, look for jpeg images in the directory that Excel creates for the html (those are the charts)... then, in Evolution, select HTML mode, then insert the jpeg inline. We need a better way. ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Bing! Done! Unfortunately I don't have a good answer for you RE your request for integration between OO and Evo (kind of "OLE for Gnome" or something I guess). Generally, I just save the spreadsheet in OO.o (or Excel) format, then attach it to the email rather than trying to inline it. But I realize this isn't what you want. -- --- Paul D.
