Re: List of manufacturers preloading OpenOffice?

[David Belina]

You are missing the value of having a turnkey solution that 
just works and
doesn't need the user to manually install anything.

In any case, mine was a rethorical question as I'm launching a line of Mini
PCs with Apache Open Office preloaded across the whole product line:
Windows, LinuxMint and Elementary OS.

We still don't sell in the USA. But stay tuned.

I pulled down the user manual for the program.  

No, you downloaded a 2005 edition of the user guide for version 2 of the 
original software called OpenOffice.org, before it became Apache OpenOffice.  


I am trying to figure out why is it so damn hard to copy and paste from online 
items to your word program.  

When you say "word program", you most likely mean the "Writer" word processing 
component of the software.  


Upon looking through your user manual I figured out why, it is because in the 
index of this user manual you cannot even keep the same context to what you 
should be defining.  

No, it is because you were reading a version 2.0 user guide which did not 
relate to the current (4.1.5) version of the software.  


I refer you to

On a Mac, use Cmd-C and Cmd-V. However, on Mac [not sure about other 
environments] you might need to use Cmd-Shift-V and select unformatted text so 
that the website formatting isn’t dumped into your page.

There is a free edition (Lite):

Re: Recently Discovered

These are extra-value DVD’s as they usually add some other programs to the DVD. 
 You get the “convenience “ of having a DVD (not having to have a big pipe to

violating the Open Office License.

But if the DVD is corrupt- buyer beware.

Re: PDF form text input font/size

[David Belina]

In Design mode if you left double click the field, about 2/3ds of the way down 
you can find font and colors/etc.  The UI people really did this backwards of 
what Word, etc users are used to doing (right click for variations of the box).

Not sure about the Field name, unless you use the option in the dialog box 
opened as above.

One trouble with this form is that I don't know how to control the input field

Many of the filled documents have text that is just to big for the fields. And

Is there a way to specify the font/size/color? I don't see an option for this

options.   

And as long as I'm working on this form, I'd like to be able to choose the text 
in the document that is highlighted when the user is in a form field. For 
example, when the user is entering data in the Full Name field, I'd like "Full

Re: Is there a way to change the assigned attributes when using Find & Replace function in AOO-Calc Spreadsheets?

[David Belina]

The way the data is displayed in any spreadsheet is determined by the 
formatting which is linked to cell/row/column and not the particular data.  The 
search and replace function searches the data not the format.

You might be able to write a script (in excel you do this in vbs (visual basic) 
but I’m not sure in OO.

The question is what you want to highlight.  If it is a summary or other 
function you eventually want to arrive at - you can just format the last result 
cell.

A difference in raster vs vector graphics?

I found this: 

As of 1.5.x versions of Scribus, you can now import PDFs as vector graphics

Re: Problem Downloading Open Office

[David Belina]

Oops.  Are you referring to the Mac not wanting to install software not 
downloaded from the Apple Store?  What you need to do depends on what error 
message you get from your Mac.

You can disable the Apple gatekeeper by opening a Terminal Window on your Mac;
typing:   sudo spctl --master-disable    
there are two dashes before the word master
install OpenOffice
then type:   sudo spctl --master-enable

error installing.  Download the other and try it.

As to the original error (ca’t open files), what did you change before you 
found you couldn’t open files and what do you mean exactly "about not opening 
file”.  Can’t find, program never starts up, etc.

Mine works right now as long as you know how to avoid the Mac “signature”

Open Finder and find the app you want to install. Next, press the Control key

can select Open to open a dialog box that will let you override Sierra's

The other issue is that Catalina only runs 64-bit apps.  Install OO 4.1.7 from

Simply download and install the 64 bit version for Mac. Tell Apple Gatekeeper 
to permit OpenOffice install.  

I'm not a Mac user so cannot give detailed instructions on how to tell 
Gatekeeper, but I know that is what one has to do.

Re: Open Office

[David Belina]

Macs now insist on verifying software that has not come from the AppleStore 
with this “error” message.

This error appears due to the Gatekeeper security feature included with OS X 
10.8 (Mountain Lion) and later.

To bypass this, open System Preferences and click Security & Privacy. Chang

For newer operating systems (OS X 10.13 and up), the app you're installing will 
appear under the "Allow apps downloaded from" menu. Click "Open Anyway" next to 
this and your software installer will launch.

Hope this helps

It’s a problem and the solution is supposed to be doing what you just did.  But 
users can’t solve the problem, only the admins can and there is no contact 
information for them.

Do you just want to download?  If so you don’t have to have an account.

Re: "Recovery failed" warning on each relaunch of iMac and Openoffice

[David Belina]

Do you come Open Office before you shutdown the Mac.

If you don’t (even if you “lock “ the file, OpenOffice tries to recover because 
it thinks the Open office file is still open.

When I press the “Start Recovery” button, status indicates “Recovery failed”. 
The file opens but, being unsure whether the file is still valid, I have 
renamed the “Orders” file with the latest opening date several times. When THAT

Re: Database Wizard

[David Belina]

As to USB stick usage:

For setup, just answer yes to all prompts if you want the default configuration.

as to USB drives and how to use them:

USB flash drives can withstand between 10,000 to 100,000 write/erase cycles, 
depending on the memory technology used. When the limit is reached, some 
portion of the memory may not function properly, leading to lost of data and 
corruption.

As to set up, just answering yes to all prompts no to all the prompts should

Probably need to download and install the 64-bit version of OO.  It should

Re: Original Open Office.

In order to be valid, any Last Will and Testament still has to be printed, 
signed, and witnessed.  Recognition of electronic versions is still not in the 
works by legislation.  Find your printed original Will, take it to a wills & 
trust lawyer, and have him/her produce a codicil that makes the updated 
changes.  Keep the original and the original of the codicil together in a safe 
place.  

OpenOffice.org DOES NOT and has never stored copies of your documents.  They 
exist only on your computer(s) or cloud storage that you have attended.

Be aware that a different version is needed for Windows. Select that from the 
URL you have been given. Normally in Windows the built-in file checking is 
adequate; when in Windows you double click the download it will (99.9% of time, 
depending on how good your Internet connection is) install or complain. If it 
complains you have a bad download and should try again.

Did you download the file from OpenOffice.org?  I don’t know of any version of

If you paid for the version (very obsolete) that you are trying to install, you

RE: Open Office calculator

[David Belina]

I did an internet search and a LibraOffice error solution might solve your
problem if you are on Windows (LibreOffice and Open Office share some basic
code):
When I had this problem just now, it was due to my having activated
controlled folder access in the ransomware protection settings of Windows
Security. (I suppose we shouldn't be surprised Microsoft includes
LibreOffice among "hostile applications.") When I deactivated this, the
problem went away. The fastest way to get to this setting is to enter
"Ransomware protection" or "Controlled folder access" in the Windows 10
search bar.

Most likely it is a Windows Defender problem. You need to tell it to allow
OpenOffice have access to folders in which it is to write.

I was just forwarding a post I found on the internet that seemed to apply
to your situation, so I don’t know if you can add the ransomeware feature
back.  perhaps if you try it and (now that you know how to disable it), and
then post a reply here about your experience to help other that might have
a similar situation?

Chris;  

I just downloaded the latest free version of paint.net and it will not  
accept past text. If you use the paste command from the edit menu it  
does nothing but if you use Ctl+V you get a message back telling you  
there is no image on the clipboard. I tried with Apache OpenOffice and  
with text from a .docx file created in Microsoft Office 365. I never  
used paint.net before so cannot speak to what may have changed, but it  
appears that currently it will only except an image as input.

Re: Help with document

[David Belina]

Unless your university specifically said it was either in Open Office format 
(and was it a spreadsheet rather than a document?), Open Office might nor have 
recognized the “import” when it was saving - especially if it happened in other 
applications.
Perhaps your University should be advised of the problem.

Apach Open Office is not a company like Microsoft.  The is no company to 
contact for help, just the mailing list that has been trying to help (and a few 
really dedicated people on that list).

Thank you for all of the replies. I didn’t realise this was going to a mailing

Apologies!  

I had saved it in .odt format, and it was a template (document) given by my 
university for me to fill in. The same thing happened (column disappearing) 
when I used it on other applications too.  

Anyway, I have typed up my answers in the disappearing column in a seperate

Now in the last two days it is worse, I am only on the document for minutes and 
it is shutting down on me. I have searched forums, asked several questions, and 
still have not gotten any correct answers to my problem. I am contacting you

Re: Option to Google Products

[David Belina]

Open Office would be a great option for you.  Most of the office products 
(Google, Microsoft, etc) have many of the same features and work pretty much 
the same without a huge learning curve for the basic functions so OpenOffice 
should be a relatively painless transition.  The only problem I see is that, if 
you are sharing files with others, be sure to save in a format other than .odt 
or.odp, etc as things like Preview on a Mac will not open them.

Re: It Is Time for Me to Generate an Updated Telephone-Addressbook

[David Belina]

A database is probably overkill unless you are trying to take an 
attribute/column that has a one-to-many relationship to an individual (person 
has many, many phone number or a company has many, many rmployees with many, 
many  different addresses or phone number or bosses or subordinates, i.e. a 
directory for all IBM employee’s (100,000 or 300,000 different entries).

Decide what you want to track, name the columns/fields in the order of what you 
think you would search on and build a Calc spreadsheet.  Name the columns with 
meaningful labels.

Hi:  

I am staying at home and have time on my hands, so I think this might be  
a good time to generate an updated telephone/address book in a PC format.  

Can anyone suggest a "relatively" simple database template for tracking  
Names, Postal Addresses, Telephone numbers-House, Telephone  
numbers-Cell, Telephone numbers-Businesses, Medical offices' data, etc?  

I started by exporting my Contacts from the GMAIL website for my one  
@gmail.com email account, and have that data now on my WIN10-x64 desktop  
PC as a .CSV file (to Excel).  I also plan to eventually enter the data  
from a paper telephone/address book into a database.  I am not certain  
which to use, (vers 4.1.5) AOO-Calc or AOO-Base.  I also have Libre  
Office (Version: 6.3.4.2 (x64)  
Build ID: 60da17e045e08f1793c57c00ba83cdfce946d0aa) installed, but am  
even less skilled with its operation.  

1. Should I go with AOO-Calc or attempt to learn more about AOO-Base  
for this project?  
2. Any suggestion for a template file would be appreciated.  

Thanks for reading this.

Re: download

[David Belina]

You want to the wrong place to download the official version.

Goto: http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html

Use the default OS x  version (its the 64-bit you need for Catalina) and select 
the language you want to download (if you want a language different than 
English (not the Download Language pack button).

Hopefully this works for you.

Re: Email App from Openoffice

[David Belina]

Since Gmail is an imap or browser connected mail server, you would have to ba 
able to call an email app that uses map and would login to gmail (any map email 
app should do) or you would have to have a browser url string which sends the 
browser to gmail with your user name and password (probably in the clear - not 
good) to get to it.  I suggest you just set up Mail (on your Mac) (i use 
Airmail, my wife uses Outlook and I have no idea what my son is using!) and use 
it as was set forth below.

Re: Connecting to database remotely

[David Belina]

Open Office has 64-bit versions so using a 64-bit version of Java with it would 
make the instructions just as valid.

Hi, 

if you have installed a 32 bit java (I would recommend Java 8 in this 
case and it should be 32 bit because OpenOffice is 32 bit) and you've 
connected OpenOffice with the installed Java via menu item 
tools->options->OpenOffice->Java 
then you can setup a JDBC remote connection to your database 

click on "Database" on the OpenOffice dashboard 
check the "connect to an existing database" radio button 
then click on "Next >>>" button 

place your cursor into the field "Datasource URL" and press the F1 key 
where this kind of unified resource locator (URL) is discribed more 
deeply (eg. mysql://hostname:port/database_name) 

If you run both your desktop PC and your notebook within the same 
network you have to check the IP address (or hostname) of your system 
you want to connect to 

Checking the IP address of this system: 
press the Windows button (start menu) 
type cmd and open the command line 
type ipconfig /ALL 
note the IPv4 address because this is the address you have to add to the 
hostname part of the datasource URL 

You have to know the port address of the database and you have to know 
the name (eg. accounting) of your database you want to connect to. 

Maybe you need to install a database driver on your client system. This 
driver has to be selected then. 

An alternate variant can be the connection using a ODBC connection 
This connection has to be configured within the ODBC settings dialog 
(search for ODBC in Windows system settings). Once set up within your 
Windows system the configuration within OpenOffice is quite similar. 

Kind regards, Joost

Re: Open office won't work on Apple update

[David Belina]

You have to download and install the Open Office 64-bit version (the new Mac OS 
won’t let you use 32-bit programs - that is why you have the circle with the 
slash).

Download the installation software (https://www.openoffice.org/download/) and 
just make sure the box above “Download full installation” say OS X (version 
>-10.7) (DMG) and do the download and then open the file you downloaded.  (what 
I just told you is the version you see if you used a browser on a Mac).

Provided you tell AOO to use the 32bit JRE and LO to use the 64bit JRE  
it will not be a problem for you. Hint: Tools->Options->OpenOffice->Java

Re: MAC OS - Still cannot eliminate OO icon from Mac desktop when program running

[David Belina]

Send your instructions to the UU site.  Their present instructions suggest all 
you have to do is drag the .dmg file to the App directory, not open and 
eventually extract the .app to the App directory.


On May 26, 2020 at 11:44:57 AM, Chuck Spalding (cspaldi...@gmail.com) wrote:

Dan,  

It appears that that you are opening the OpenOffice program from within the  
downloaded dmg file (i.e., from the window described below). That file  
contains a virtual disk that contains the program and other files. You are  
supposed to copy the OpenOffice program from that virtual disk to the  
Applications folder on your computer.  

The steps for installing OpenOffice on a Mac are as follows:  

1. Download the OpenOffice distribution file  
Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.7_MacOS_x86-64_install_en-US.dmg.  

2. Double click on the icon for the dmg file (i.e., wherever it got  
downloaded to), which will (a) mount the virtual disk contained in the dmg  
file, which creates an "OpenOffice" icon on the desktop, and (b) display  
the virtual disk's contents in a window named "OpenOffice" (which is the  
"screen" referenced in the instructions that you quoted).  

3. *In that "OpenOffice" window*, drag the "OpenOffice.app" icon to the  
"Applications" icon (also in that window—it is an alias for the actual  
Applications folder). (You appear to have dragged the "OpenOffice" icon  
from the desktop to the Applications folder, which is not the same  
thing—different name and different source location.)  

4. Close the "OpenOffice" window.  

5. Select (single-click) the "OpenOffice" icon on the desktop, and select  
File > Eject "OpenOffice". (You could also right click [or hold down  
Control and left click] on that icon and select Eject "OpenOffice" from the  
menu that is displayed.)  

6. Drag the downloaded dmg file to the Trash (or save it somewhere for  
[unlikely] future use).  

Then, to use OpenOffice, double click on its icon in the Applications  
folder.  

If you want to avoid having to go to the Applications folder (or the  
Launcher?) each time you want to use OpenOffice, you can keep its icon in  
the Dock permanently.  

I hope this helps,  

Chuck  

P.S. For the record, I have not looked at the instructions posted on the  
OpenOffice website.

Temat: need help fixing or restoring a file

Hello,

I've tried looking on Community Support Forum and am not having success.

I am running HP Windows Vista to create and edit this document in Open 
Office 4.1.3. Thus far, it's been the only document I've had difficulty with. 
Maybe it's important to know the document was originally created (same computer 
and OO version) april 28, 2016 and has been saved and added to since that date. 
Recently, within the past week or so, I opened the document, added an entry, 
then I believe closed and saved the document. I unplugged the computer to move 
it to another room. When I attempted to open the document (which was 
approximately 14 pages in length??), it now shows up as row upon row of 
###. And a message box comes up asking for ASCII Filter Options. No matter 
what I seem to put in (I'm in United States, Massachusetts) it still comes up 
with #.

On the Community Support page posts from maybe 2016, it said to try 
opening a new blank document and then choose Insert file. Still . I've 
tried to cut a portion of the  into a new OO document but that doesn't fix 
the problem either.

I've uninstalled the 4.1.3 version. I attempted to install the 4.1.7? 
version but I don't know if this is correct or what operating system to choose. 
Should I just look for the 4.1.3 version and try reinstalling that - hoping 
that will fix my ### document problem??

Thank you,
Mary Lippoth
