A little misleading. Writer's main menu "/File -> Send/" entry offers a number of formats to use. > Whiy do you copy the document into Mails? Just attach it. Or use Writer's "/Send/" option. If Outlook has been set as the Windows default email client, this will automatically attach the document to the email. What we don't know is why Roger wants or needs to create an address book in Writer, when his email client already has one. > Am 10.11.2016 um 01:07 schrieb dalnip...@aol.com: >> Sir, >> I have tried relentlessly to create a contact /address book within >> the office writer.

Yes of course - and there is the addressbook - or should be, and not in OO. There is big difference between creating and sending something. OO ist to write / create a document (and do not need an eMail address) A Mailclient is to send documents and do not need to know something about fonts, formatting, calculating ant whatever. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

In OpenOffice on the Mac use /File /Open to open the document (you may have to navigate the displayed directory to where your have stored the document), then /File /Print to print it, as you would for any other program. -- Rory O'Farrell - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Open Office 4.1.3 - English Dictionary Non-functional
Hello, I have just installed the latest update of Open Office (4.1.3) -- this program has been my only word processing program for quite a few years and, except for one aspect, works very well. For the last two years I have not been able to access an English language dictionary file to utilize with the spellchecker. Several updates ago I experienced difficulty and obtained troubleshooting advice from a users' forum. (I was unable to contact technical assistance). The actions yielded no solution and I have been manually performing spell-checking since that time. With the newest update I was hoping my problem would be solved -- however, it is not the case. I would appreciate a fix of some sort to correct the absent dictionary file. I now have a more demanding work load that requires written copy and I'd like to continue to use Open Office with a working spellchecker. Please advise me if / how this can be resolved. Thanks very much. Yours truly, Matt Richards --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Open File Explorer. Copy and paste %appdata%\OpenOffice\4 in the File Explorer Address Bar and press Enter. Rename the "user" folder. Start OpenOffice. This cures most spellcheck problems It can sometimes happen that an installation produces a faulty user profile "out of the box". The above fix works in the vast majority of cases. -- Rory O'Farrell - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

John, in OpenOffice Writer you create the content of the Letter or email you want to distribute. In Calc or Base you can create addresses. When you have both created you go to Tools -> Mail Merge Wizard to create the Letters or emails When the Wizard opens you get 8 steps with options 1. Select starting document - tick Use the current document 2. Select document type - tick your choice Letter or email 3. Insert address block - click on Select Different address List this opens an list with registered databases (including Calc files) click on Add and navigate to your address list (Calc or Base) Once selected it add the file to the registered databases The remaining steps depend on your choices jrh - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
