How do I install chinese language as alternative in 4.0.1?


Assuming you use Windows (but things are much similar on other systems):

1) Open http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html

2) Click on the English-US full install exe, download and install it.

3) Click on the Chinese (simplified or traditional) Langpack exe, 
download and install it.


4) Switch between the two with Tools - Options - Language Settings - 
Languages

Save big file

2013-10-19 Thread Henry Bohné
I recently upgraded from ver3.3 to ver 4.0.
I work with a big (2.2 MB) text file. With ver3.3 it took 5 to 9 minutes to 
save the file, with ver4.0 it takes 29 minutes.
How can I speed it up?
I'm using Windows 7 as OS

Open Office 4.0.1 and Endnote Proprietary Bibliographic Database

2013-10-19 Thread Janis Langins
Am I missing something?  I note that in Open Office 4.0.1 the feature 
of inserting footnotes directly from the Endnote Bibliographic 
Database is missing.  I could do this in Open Office 4.0.0.

If you can make the file public we can have a look.

Large files generally open fine in 4.0, as fast (or faster) than 3.x. 
But we have a few particular cases already known, see for example

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=123457
and we can possibly investigate the root cause in the case of your file too.

  Andrea.

Just now tested: Using 4.0.1 on a slow machine (circa 2002) running Xubuntu 
13.04. saving a 14365 page (A5, plain text) file takes 75 seconds. If the file 
has been altered immediately before the Save, it will repaginate, and this 
repaginate time adds about 120 seconds to that Save time.

  I just tested with the 'bug' above, the 'faq16' file of 17MB.

  My system - Slackware 14.0, AMD FX-6300, 2GB RAM, AOO4.0.1

  Took 540 seconds to open the file after downloading it.
  Was going to take at least as long to 'save' it with a new name (I quit 
counting
  after 230 seconds). It was using 409MB of RAM while trying to save, and using 
17%
  cpu.

  So yes, there does seem to be a bug with opening and saving large files. I've
  apparently been lucky all these years and not had to mess with such large odt
  files ever, heh.
