Re: Presentations
Dear Steve, There is no stand alone viewer for OpenOffice. Basically it is not required at all. You have to install OpenOffice where ever you want to run the impress. http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Education_Project/Effort/Improve_Impress/Standalone_presentation_viewer With Warm Regards V.Kadal Amutham 919444360480 914422396480 On 2 February 2013 06:29, Stephen J.

One can download a free Powerpoint Viewer from Microsoft, which should (but try it!) work with OpenOffice Impress files saved in .ppt (MS Office 97/2000/XP format for presentations); however, one should check that such presentations work correctly with the viewer, as the MS Office formats have been reverse engineered and some subtleties of display may be lost. -- Rory O'Farrell - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

They show a snapshot of last year's last data. the workaround is to copy to the new file not the sheet's content but the sheet itself. to do it please right-click the sheet's tab in the bottom of the calc's window, open the 'move/copy sheet' window from the context menu and choose what is needed from the 'to document' list. the sheet will be copied in full with all graphs linked to the appropriate data ranges. you could then delete all the old data from the sheet's cells, leaving the graphs alone, and fill in the new content. you should also note that i failed to reproduce the bug in the latest version of open office, 3.4.1, although i could recollect experiencing it myself in the past. so, it may have bin fixed by the developers since then. if your office is not the most up-to-date, then you could probably get your problem fixed by just upgrading. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Re: Presentations
There used to be a "Portable" version of Open Office that one could include on the CD. It is not a "viewer" but rather the full blown product. It just doesn't have to be installed on the machine. I keep it on my flash drive for when I'm traveling.

Since I am annoyed by a bunch of structural/embedded things that are copied along from year to year when I do a simple rename, I am building a new file, sheet by sheet, by copying each sheet over to it. (This scrambles many of the links between sheets, but I can fix these.) However the graphs so transferred appear in the new file with a data table instead of actual cell ranges, which kills them dead so far as showing changing data. They show a snapshot of last year's last data. I do not want to build anew these graphs, they are complex, with many attribute tweaks. Any ideas? XP, OO 3.4 I have no particular comment on your current process, but is it possible for you to create a template from this (even if you only save a mostly empty copy for next year) so that you can start from the "mostly empty" stage easily next year. A template would usually work, but it's this year's special case of trying to shake out some obscure oddities from the file, that makes a total new file seem necessary. In addition I would like in general to be able to copy/paste a complex graph from one spreadsheet to another. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
Re: Presentations
You have two choices for a portable version to show slides: Portable LibreOffice 3.6.5 which is very recent, and Portable OpenOffice.org 3.2.0 which is rather outdated. Both are available at http://portableapps.com/apps/office. The portable apps people are working to get an agreement on licensing from Apache OpenOffice so they can produce a version for AOO 3.4. Until that time, they recommend a person use Portable OpenOffice. So states the web site if you click on the OpenOffice.org Portable. --Dan On 02/02/2013 11:06 AM, Dale Erwin wrote: There used to be a "Portable" version of Open Office that one could include on the CD.
