Re: Summary of AOO 4.0 download activity for 1st week
"Rob Weir": In what way do you think this is true? Bugs/features affecting Windows integration or performance are overlooked, sometimes for 2–3 years. Compatibility and interaction with Windows-only software is ridiculed. Those ones affecting Linux get more attention. It gives a clear message that developers give no crap about users and are concerned only with their corporations' interests. My pet peeve is the terrible work with dictionaries in Windows version which makes me use a Linux VM just to proofread documents. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Yes, you're right, there is a lot that could be improved but keep in mind that Oracle hasn't done anything to improve the product. I have a lot of respect for the hard work these volunteers do.

The Finnish version does not include any dictionaries: see http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/trunk/main/extensions.lst?view=markup (you will see there's nothing marked with "language=fi"). If you are writing in English, you can get the English dictionary included with the English version of OpenOffice 4 from http://extensions.openoffice.org/node/17102 Otherwise, just give more context and we will be able to help you better.

Use the components of OpenOffice.
Hello I thank the community for creating OpenOffice. Please tell me whether you can use the components are part of OpenOffice, such as images for example, or others. Tell me whether it is possible, for example, copy the files from the directory C: \ Program Files (x86) \ OpenOffice 4 \ share \ gallery (eg Computer-Laptop-Black.png or others) for use in my application.
