Can you Produce a "Quality" EBook with Open Office or Open Office Writer...
Hi, I am a writer, and I have been pleasantly taken aback by Open Office... I had been struggling with Word 2003 for years, and not realised your own program had progressed so much, and was quite so comprehensive! Nevertheless the links did not work for information, which I wished to ascertain, so I was left with little option, but to contact yourselves in regard to these. Firstly, I have a rather successful writing friend, who wishes for me to use Scrivener, due to the fact that this is particularly useful in producing an Ebook, which I intend to launch my next book as: _The Tallest Dwarf_ (http://www.quirkyclaus.com/The_Tallest_Dwarf_Comic_Fantasy_Books.htm) <<< *Link ! However I am finding the program almost prohibitively difficult to utilise... The Tallest Dwarf, comprises as well as the main storyline - of course... "extensive" footnotes, which 'must' be presented to their optimum in a future production of the EBook. What is "Open Office Writer" for instance... I like Open Office, but well... is 'this' really what I'd be better using? I am quite reluctant to use Scrivener for creating the format to an EBook, as well only not is the program difficult to comprehend, I do not really find the mechanism appealing. Any assistance you may offer in this please...?

If perhaps this is the case, without a shadow of a doubt this is the story for you… Quirky Claus is the alternative tale of a mischievous Santa who with his not always so loyal of friend’s Timothy the Toucan or A.K.A: Timothy, (surname – Toucan) lives’ deep in the snowy depths of the South Pole. However, be careful to be good before Christmas, because if Quirky Claus hears you “have” been naughty? You may instead get all kinds of strange and weird presents in your stocking: anything so surprising… as a long-necked giraffe, to even an extremely angry - fist-shaking armadillo!

Software
I have OpenOffice 3.4 on my computer and I notice that there are some features unavailable or not highlighted in the pull down. Can you tell me how to get access to these features? Specifically, categories Wrap, Anchor, Arrange, and Alignment, all under Format. Thanks, Addie Anderson
Change default browser
I have OO-4.1.0 on Xubuntu Linux. I just installed it, and when I started up Writer, after a few seconds it presented me with a notification saying that there was updates for an installed extension. So I clicked on the button. After it found the extension update, I clicked on the Install button. The first time this happened, it then presented me with a list of installed browsers and asked me to select one. I clicked on "chrome", because I do have Chrome installed. It failed saying that it couldn't find the default browser. Now, every time I try to rerun the process, it doesn't present me with a list of installed browsers, it just fails, saying again that it can't find the default browser. So, I can't find where to change the default browser in Writer. Does anybody know? I tried renaming the profile folder, that didn't work, it still failed. -- Jerry - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
RE: Change default browser
I think the "default browser" applies to the operating system (Windows/Linux/etc), not an application (such as Apache OpenOffice). Maurice -Original Message- From: "J.
