Re: grid printing

[Bruce Pierson]

In the FILE menu select PRINT PREVIEW
Then select FORMAT PAGE   Check the box for GRID

That should do it.

Re: Problem with Open Office before and after installing new update

[Bruce Pierson]

​I myself have had the spell check problem under OSX and the solution given
by the users group resolved it.  That is the only problem I have had with
AOO other than a few odd quirks that, to no surprise, others also
experienced.  In my past I have worked with at least 5 different pieces of
writing and publishing software and found that they are all similar and
each has it's own set of quirks. As stated, there is no perfect software. ​

Gee no one ever charged me for the software, no one ever demanded I use it,

some of the negative posters here maintain.

Help with spell check

[Bruce Pierson]

I have used AOO for a while and only had this problem once before.  I am
using Win 10 as an OS.  The spell check stopped working and I forget the
solution to this problem.  If you could point me in the right direction I'd
appreciate.

Re: Installation Problems.

[Bruce Pierson]

I would be wary of getting it on a CD these days.  There are more than a
few vendors that will sell you a CD with Open Office on it.  However, the
CD may have other little nasties on it as well most of which you do not
want.  If you have to pay for the software beware.

Re: Warning: [Was Re: How Do I Get Rid of Searchconduit?

I got this little gem in something called “Sweetpacks” and yes, it cropped up 
after a download from CNET.  I managed to get rid of it but it was not easy.  I 
did it by working my way backwards deleting and then reloading (without using 
CNET).  I am normally careful about downloading but somehow this slipped in.  
After this I am very cautious about getting anything through CNET.

Tutor.com is a "Microsoft Gold Certified Partner”, the likelihood that they

I never had a problem downloading from OpenOffice.org.   I just loaded it to a 
brand new Mac and other than the known issues with  OSX 10.9, I’ve encountered 
nothing suspicious or malevolent.   I can’t make the same claim regarding 3rd

Open Office

[Bruce Pierson]

I have been using Open Office for about 5 years now.  Yes, it has it's
quirks, but it is still *free *and is an  open source system, try finding
that from one of the big software houses. The trend there is moving to
cloud based applications that you rent.  When one works for a non-profit
entity, one does not find a large IT budget, rather one finds IT at the
bottom of the budget hierarchy; a far different world than the large
corporate  environment. In this case, the free aspect is very important.  I
have used it both in Windows (XP and 7) and on the Mac. It does tend to be
quirky under OSX Mavericks but I have, in most cases, found the solutions
in this group.

Thanks,
Bruce

If you are using a Mac, look for a disk image file (.DMG) from Apache also
in downloads.  Clicking this should load it and put Open Office icon in the

Re: Spreadsheet

If you go to tutorialsforopenoffice.org/tutorial/Spreadsheet_Basics.html
<http://www.tutorialsforopenoffice.org/tutorial/Spreadsheet_Basics.html> you
will find a fairly decent guide.

Mystery messages

[Bruce Pierson]

Hello

I get the message below from *ezmlm *list manager every so often.








*Messages to you from the users mailing list seem tohave been bouncing.
I've attached a copy of the first bouncemessage I received.If this message
bounces too, I will send you a probe. If the probe bounces,I will remove
your address from the users mailing list,without further notice.*

I would like to know if I am still on the mailing list (I assume I am,
since I get messages) and have not been removed.  I am not sure why this
happens.

 I signed up for the mailing list originally because I had the infamous MAC
problem with the Save Stated Error.  I have had other problems as well but
fortunately so have others in this list  and by reading the groups
responses, I have managed to solve them.

Thanks,

Bruce Pierson

Thanks to all for the responses.  I have been using Open Office for about 5
years and prefer it as well as other Open Source applications. I was
concerned that one day I might get removed from the list without knowing
why.

Re: Email association

[Bruce Pierson]

If you are using the email client that Comcast gives you (Zimbra), when you
click NEW a message composition bar opens at the top of the frame.
 "Attach" is one of the buttons that appears in the bar. It has the paper
clip icon.  You can attach any file AOO, Pdf, jpg, etc. from your
computer's directory.

Re: Question re/ using Open Office

[Bruce Pierson]

And I thought I was ancient using an Osborne 1 (with Super Calc) and a DEC
PDP 8 recording data from a  No. 5 Cross Bar switch.  Back in the 80's

Re: Phone Call

[Bruce Pierson]

My 84 year old mother received a call from someone claiming to be from
Microsoft.  She too, had fun playing with them. She is a good example of a
Luddite when it comes to computers. I never got her to use one,
