When I put USER or CHANNEL in the 'Search for' box, and replace with 
\n&, it's adding a space above the line where USER or CHANNEL occurs?


Er, it will!


I want it to append the line with USER or CHANNEL to the line above.


I understood from what you said before that you wanted to do this 
with CHANNEL: but *not* with "USER:".



Did I do this wrong?


Possibly.

Your example text had multiple lines (paragraphs, in fact) for each 
individual but also multiple individuals. I suggested two processes 
here. The first one is to search for $ and replace with a single 
space. This will run together not only all the paragraphs for one 
individual but also those for all individuals. You now have a single 
paragraph. That many seem wrong, but be patient.


If you want each user now to be in a separate paragraph (what you are 
calling a "line"), perform a second, separate Find & Replace, 
replacing  "USER:" with "\n&" (no quotes, of course). This inserts a 
paragraph break before each "USER:", so that each individual is now 
in a separate paragraph (and will end up in a separate row of your 
spreadsheet). This makes sense only *after* you have completed the 
first Find & Replace. I suggested searching for "USER:" instead of 
"USER" as you mention above, in case you happened to have the text 
"USER" elsewhere in the text than as the marker of a new individual.


I don't know why you would search for "CHANNEL" - I didn't suggest 
that. The whole point was to merge the paragraphs, wasn't it? If you 
now want to remove some of those colons, you can now carry out a 
third Find & Replace, this time searching for ([:alpha:]): (note that 
trailing colon) and replacing with $1 .


I trust this helps.

font-size mismatch between toolbar and text

2016-11-16 Thread Felmon Davis

greets!

I have a 40 page document which I sent to the printer; the printer 
noted the font size in the document I sent is 6.5 pt.


I thought it looked small when I had printed out a sample but the 
toolbar says the text is the intended 10 pt!


I am guessing I should reset the user profile but any better advice?

this is 4.1.1 on Debian. never ever had this problem before.

note too I tried the document on a Windows 7 machine running 4.1.3 
with the same discrepancy.

Problem with loading new version.

2016-11-16 Thread LINDSAY BURROWS
Hi
Have problem updating to new version 4.1.3.
Checked online forums no help.
Always used your program but now unable to load update or get the old one 
working.
Cannot get my files or even use the program.
It comes back with: Google Chrome process id 9592 – Says I need to close apps 
in use so to update.
Google chrome is not my default browser and no applications are being used.
Can you advise.

Kind Regards

Hi Keith
Checked as suggested no soffice processes running.
Any other suggestions. Do you know why the older version will not work now.
Cheers

Lindsay;

It sounds as if the quick-starter is running. As you appear to be on
windows do the following to check.
1. Open Task Manager
2. Switch to the Process tab (if not already there)
3. look for any soffice processes running.
NOTE the preceding s
4. If any are running right click on it and select end task from the menu.

Once any running soffice processes are closed try down loading and
installing AOO again.

Regards
Keith

Filling down in OO Calc

2016-11-16 Thread Richard Beeston
Hi all
Could anyone give me the instructions on how to fill down a formula in a column 
with increments for each row 
Formula example is
=SUM(D2:AM2) and I need to fill in 400 rows in a spreadsheet and put this 
formula in column C with an incremental formula going into each of the 400 rows.
I have tried to do this but the same formula has appeared in all the 400 rows 
without any increment and I do not want to have to redo each of the formulas 
row by row. 
Any help would be appreciated. 
thanks

to unsubscribe to the list:
1: from the address you sued to subscribe originally send a blank e-mail
to users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org. This will generate a
follow-up e-mail to you. If you do not see the follow-up mail check spam
folder.
2: follow the directions in the follow-up e-mail.
3: you will receive a final e-mail saying you have successfully
unsubscribed.

As a last resort if the above process does not work send an e-mail to
user-ow...@openoffice.apache.org explaining the problem and requesting help.

word processor

2016-11-16 Thread glendagord
A few weeks ago, on my Gateway, the word processor I'm stuck with was modified, 
Apache Project Open Office 4. Some improvement. You've shrunk the display by 
half, and red-underlined every character I type in, obliterating the spell 
check function. It's driving me nuts. Give me back what I had, or tell me how 
to fix this monstrous “improvement.”
