Re: Text flow questions

[Don]

Gary,

I am using OOo3.3.0.

I can highlight each of your frames then go to Format>Wrap>Page Wrap, 
which will allow me to move that frame anywhere on the page with the 
text wrapping around it.  This must be done for each frame.


Hope this helps.

Don

Hi all,

I've attached an odt file derived from something I was working on that is 
driving
me nuts as far as text flow is concerned.  I don't understand how anchoring
affects text flow, or why in some cases text does not fill up a hole on the 
page.

If someone can point me to a detailed explanation of how the filling works I
would appreciate it.

Questions regarding the attached document:

1.  If Frame3 is moved to the right so there is whitespace between it and 
Frame4,
the text begins on a line even with the top of Frame3 and Frame4, and fills the
whitespace between the two frames and the space immediately below Frame4.
However, as it stands with Frame3 overlapping Frame4, it does not fill the space
immediately below Frame4.  Why not?

2.  Why is paragraph 3 forced to page 2?  Why doesn't it start in the empty
space to the left of Frame5?

If paragraph 2 is shortened by one line, Frame5 shifts up and paragraph three
begins in the whitespace between Frame5 and Frame9.  If paragraph 2 is
shortened 3 more lines, Frame5 shifts up further and paragraph 3 moves
up and begins in the space to the right between Frame5 and Frame7.  Shorten by
another 4 lines, to the point where the top of Frame5 is slightly above the
bottom of Frame2, and the text finally begins to use the whitespace to the
left of Frame5.  Why didn't paragraph 3 us the space to the left of Frame5
in the first place?

3.  Why doesn't paragraph 3 start in the empty space below Frame9?  This
may be the same as the last part of #2, but originally there was another box
in the lower left corner of the page, and I wanted the text to begin in the
space between it and Frame8, immediately below Frame9.

4.  Frame10 is anchored to paragraph4.  If I move it up slightly, the anchor 
symbol shifts to paragraph3.  Why doesn't it stay anchored to its original 
paragraph?

5.  If I move Frame10 up to where its anchor shifts to paragraph 3 and release
the mouse, the frame jumps up to page 1, and its anchor point shifts to the
left margin below paragraph 2.  Why doesn't it stay anchored to paragraph
3, and why doesn't it stay where I dropped it?

I would be much appreciative of any pointers to explanations of why this
works the way it does.  "It's a bug," is also a valid answer, although any
explanations which would help me to work around bugs would also be appreciated.

Many thanks,

Gary

A lot of documentation is done by ODFAuthors. They currently work for 
LibreOffice mostly, but the difference to Apache OpenOffice is not large. So 
you should look there too. For example there is a German tutorial, which has 
been translated.

When you want to open a .docx file, don't open OO; instead open Windows

Next  right-click on the file-name, choose Open With, Navigate to the 
desired progam (Microsoft Word?), check "Always use this program to open 
files of this type, and click OK.  This will transfer the 
'file-association' from OO to your desired choice of program.  Hope this

Jack,

I've used Thunderbird since, well, I don't remember it's been so long.  
I hated
Outbreak when it came out, and the support I have to provide(I'm the de 
facto IT head here),

to keep thatmiserable pile of crap running makes me grind my teeth.

Thunderbird does everything a mail/organizer is supposed todo.  I have 
35 different
email accounts set-up on it, to deal with our various domains, and 
probably over 1000 mail

filters to direct mail to the appropriate folders.

IMAP is the way to go as it syncs my mail across my various computers, 
tablets, and phone.


Things to do when you install TBird.

1) Install Lightning (calendar extension)
2) Provider for Google Calendar, (allows sync with google calendars). If 
you're an Android
phone user, it will allow you to sync calendars across all devices with 
your gmail login.
3) INSTALL "DISABLE DRAG N DROP".  This little gem is awesome.  I can't 
tell you how many
times I accidentally dragged a folder into another one and didn't know I 
did it.  Then, could

not find the folder.  This prevents that and it's great.
4) Install "Folder Pane View Switcher". Great extension for switching 
folder views.
5) Install "ThunderKeep". Again, if Android, this puts Google Keep in a 
tab in TBirdand allows

syncing across all devices.

there are other great extension you can add to extend the functionality 
of TBird,and that's the
difference with open source software. Stuff from SoftSquishy (Micro$oft) 
is designed to make
the shareholders rich. Software from Open Source is designed to solve 
problems, accomplish

tasks, and work for the user.

I have tomaintain Outbreak for the people here, but I don't have to use 
it. Exercising my right
of freedom of choice, I choose to use a functional piece of software 
instead of blindly following

the SoftSquishy lemmings over the cliff.

I can no longer remember the password I used to lock the file, so I cannot
get into it. Is there any way you guys could help me unlock it or access
what is in it again? It would mean the world to me. It's an important
document to me that I would hate to completely lose.

Thanks in advance!

Re: Trouble downloading Open Office

[Don Daugherty]

Clicking on the downloaded file won't work.  You'll need to either 
double-click or Right-click and select Open.

Can you edit the dictionary to include some Spanish words?

Hi,

I normally write in German, but as I am living in Spain, many words are 
spanish, too. But always the program put These red lines under the spanish 
words.

As I know, I can´t use more than one language with this program, but I think it 
would be very useful if there will be a function to use more languages, at 
least two at the same time.
It is only a idea, but maybe you find a solution?

Helping More People Access Open Office

[don wonnell]

It helped when I found out we need to contact APACHE, but this was hard to find 
out when OO 3.1 stopped working. Only saw it on Wikipedia after several weeks 
of no service with 3.1. 

 More communicating and marketing will help many people, and of course help 
your firm.

Re: Conveting files from Word Perfect x7

[Don Daugherty]

Just be aware that Libreofice can't re-save as .wpd after editing.  
Expect to open .wpd and then after editing, save as .odt or any other 
format that Libreoffice can write.

Apache OpenOffice won't open WordPerfect files.

LibreOffice will open WordPerfect files.

As such, depending upon the rest of your use case, LibreOffice might be
a more appropriate solution than Apache OpenOffice.

Re: spreadsheet password

[Don Daugherty]

1.  Sadly, your other responders are right: The task is close to 
impossible -- brute-force trial and error is the only way.


2.  For the future, my suggestion is to either NEVER use passworded 
files, or use software like Keypass to create and store strong passwords 
that you won't forget.  Just Google "Keypass" or "Password Managers."

Could you please give me simple step by step instructions for saving 
(backing-up) an Open Office file to a flash drive?   Thank you.  Belton

Method #1:
1.  Open the file in the associated Open Office program.
2.  Insert the Flash-Drive into a USB port on your computer.
3.  Click File > SaveAs
4.  In the SaveAs dialog box, click on the drive letter assigned to the 
Flashdrive.  The original filename should appear by default; if not, 
type the filename.

5.  Click Save
Method #2:
1.  Insert the Flash-Drive into a USB port on your computer.
2.  Open a file manager (File Explorer, Windows Explorer, PowerDesk, etc.)
3.  Locate the file to be copied.
4.  Copy the file by clicking its name and pressing Ctrl+C,
  or by right-clicking and choosing Copy.
5.  Paste the file by clicking the letter assigned to the flash-drive 
and pressing Ctrl+V,

  or by right-clicking and choosing Paste.

Will these methods meet your need?

Yes, but there will be a learning curve.  OpenOffice is not an MS Word or MS
Publisher clone.  It is free, so it will only cost you time.

Open Office Writer issue-fuzziness!

[Don Minow]

For many years I have been a user of the NeoOffice suite of applications and 
have been satisfied with their performance and operation.



I purchased a new iMac desktop this summer and have noted some 
incompatibilities with it and NeoOffice. I downloaded Apache Open Office 
version 4.1.4 and now use it as my everyday application for text and 
spreadsheets. The iMac is using IO S version 10.13.2/High Sierra
.


However, I have an open issue with OpenOffice Writer. When I enter data, after 
a few seconds the screen text becomes “fuzzy”, obscured and hard to read. In 
addition, I note numerous dim triangles in the margins and body of the screen 
text.  I can clear the "fuzzyness" by 'Selecting All'; the text becomes comes 
clear and legible.  However, the "fuzziness" returns after a few seconds.


I have searched the Open Office help screens and a early version of the users 
manual but I cannot find any reference to the cause and correction method to 
eliminate the fuzziness.


 Thanks in advance for your help.

problems with open office

[DON LONG]

I would like to be able to talk to someone about the issues we are having with 
Open Office.


I have checked the forums and tried the different "fixes" they claim to have 
found, but nothing is working.  Open office tends to close randomly and we lose 
all the work since the previous save.  This happens multiple times a day, and 
if I don't get to talk to someone, I am going to look at switching companies 
and going with another spreadsheet company.


Please contact me.

Re: Scanning

[DON MINOW]

For what it’s worth, I just scanned a text document I created with both black 
and colored text on my Brother MFC J485CW scanner at 200 x 200 resolution, 24 
bit color. I scanned it to a .docx file.  I opened the .docx file and the 
document text had scanned perfectly, but there were formatting errors.  
Specifically, line and paragraph spacing were missing, and one line of text was 
not complete, but the entire document was usable with minor editing.  On a 
retry I reopened the scanned document and it came out perfect – line feeds were 
correct and the color text was where it should be.  It may take some playing 
around to get it correct, but it appears that the Brother printer has an 
excellent OCR capability built in.

The original document was clean and had been prepared using 
LibreOffice/Writer/Ariel/12 point and after  scanning, was saved in .odt format.

Linking sheets

[Don Town]

Hello everyone

Is there any way to link various sheets in a document?

What I'd like to do is... to move ONE sheet...and when switching to another 
sheet,
the software might automagically place me at the same coordinates without 
having to
navigate to them... such that ALL the sheets in a document stay coordinated with
one another habitually.

That way, it's easy to review a specific piece of information in that same area
across all the sheets .

Thanks
Don

My issue isn't about knowing what it's called.
It's about finding out if / how to make that technique happen.

I regularly need to create a new updated sheet every 3-4 days.
The newer sheet is meant to update stock / information levels from the older 
sheets that are to stay frozen in the  condition they are in, 
while also staying easy to review as they become increasingly obsoleted.

You seem to imply this is possible.

Would be nice to have the OLD sheet "leashed" to the new  
sheet so they stay in step with being able to simultaneously glance back easier 
at the same spot on all of them as the new information supercedes the old.

I have / had no idea if this is even possible, much less **how** to do it.

Thanks
Don

If it's not from the appstore, they don't like that.

If you're not familiar with this,  mommy Apple wants you to 
suck from the apple teet when you download any software.  That way mommy knows 
it's 'safe' for HER computer.

What you do is...

1: Open System Preferences:Security & Privacy

2: Click the "General" tab.  Keep this visible when you try to download / open 
/ install your sofware.

3: NOW try to download / open / install.  Watch the Security control panel in 
the area where it says "Allow apps downloaded from:".  You'll probably see a 
'whine' message there that complains about what you're doing.

4: WHEN Apple 'whines' that you really shouldn't do that (or you're being a 
naughty boy), tell it "YES, I really want to do this.".  They may try to scare 
you away repeatedly (just in case there are any "naughty bugs" in the sofware 
you're downloading).  If you decide to keep pushing past all Apple's "Danger 
Will Robinson, DANGER!" warnings, you can download, install, and finally RUN 
the software in spite of Apple's "mommying".

I'm sick of being nannied.
Am in the process of setting up a Raspberry Pi to get off the Apple 
merry-go-round teet.

I think .wk1 is an old QuattroPro extension.  If so open it in some 
version of that program and SaveAs a .xls, which Calc can then open.
Be forewarned tho, that the conversion may be imperfect -- some 
QuattroPro functions have no exact Excel equivalent.

Save the file in a known location.  Then in Windows Explorer right click 
and look for Open-With. That choice will either offer a list of choices 
that includes  Open Office, or will allow you to Browse to the 
appropriate program under Program Files.  (On 64-bit systems there will 
be two Program Files folders to explore.)  After making your choice,

Re: Problems with inserting graphics, columns

Is this the place to get help with a text document?
I am trying to insert a picture and put text to the right of the image.  I
can put text above or below, but not beside the image.

Also I want to divide the page into two columns, beginning about 2 or 3
inches from the top, but instead it divided the entire page into two
columns.

So, two questions:

How to get text to the right of an image?
  and how to divide a page into two or more columns, beginning 2-3" from the
top?

Thanks,
Pat


Text to right of picture is fairly easy:
1.  Insert picture at proper point.
2.  Right click  on it and choose Picture.  This pops-up a nine-tab 
box.  The 'Type' and 'Wrap' tabs are probably of most use.  On the Type 
tab, Size can be adjusted by checking the Keep Ratio box and then 
changing either Width or Height.  Use Anchor to control picture 
position.  To_paragraph or To_character is probably best.
On the Wrap tab, the Optimal Setting should provide what you said you 
want.  Spacing allows you to keep a little white-space between the 
picture edges and the text.


Sorry, I can't help with the column problem.

I don't know of a good reference, but here's how to get a start on what 
you immediately want:
1.  With Calc open to any spreadsheet, click "View" in the menu bar, 
choose Toolbars, and look for a check-mark in front of "Formatting."  If 
it's not there, click on Formatting and the Formatting Toolbar will appear.
2.  Look in this Toolbar for a set of 4 icons that look like tiny 3x3 
matrices.  One will have a horizontal green line across its middle, 
another  will have a horizontal red line across its middle. A third will 
have a vertical green line at its center and the fourth will have a 
vertical red line. These insert (green) and delete (red) rows or columns 
at the current cell location.  Hovering the mouse cursor over each icon 
will show what it  does.  If multiple rows (columns) are selected, 
multiple rows (columns) will be inserted or deleted.
3.  In the event these icons are not found, right click the toolbar 
anywhere between icons and choose "Customize Toolbar."  Then scroll 
through the list to hunt for these icons in the list; check those you 
want to add, and click OK.

How can I create a desktop shortcut just for opening the Writer section of Open

Do it ONCE the long way.  In Win 7 or 8 right-click on its icon in the 
taskbar and choose Pin this program to the taskbar.  Close the program 
and the icon will remain there.  If you don't like exactly where it's 
sitting, click and drag it left or right.  If you don't want to leave it 
pinned, right-click on the  icon and choose Properties.  In the 
properties window look for Target; its contents will be highlighted in 
blue.  Press Ctrl+C to copy those contents. Close the properties 
window.  Right-click on the desktop , choose New >  Shortcut; Paste in 
the contents copied from the Target. (Mine looks like "C:\Program Files 
(x86)\OpenOffice.org 3\program\swriter.exe" -- yours will probably be 
somewhat different .)  This creates a new icon on the desktop.
If you're using a different version of Windows you may have to adapt 
some of these steps to your situation.  Hope this helps.

You might try using Paste Special, i.e.,
1.  Create a new sheet in the same spreadsheet file
2.  On the page containing the email addresses select the block of cells 
containing the addresses and press Ctrl+C.
3.  Then go to the new page and press Shift+Ctrl+V (or Click Edit > 
Paste Special...).  This brings up the Paste Special dialog box.  Under 
Select, check Text, Numbers, and Date&Time, and uncheck all other 
choices.  Under Options nothing should be checked; under Operations only 
None should be dotted, and under Shift Cells only Don't Shift should be 
dotted.  Click OK.


If this does what you want, you can replace step 3 with
3'.  Press Shift+Ctrl+V (or Click Edit > Paste Special...).  This brings 
up the Paste Special dialog box.  Under Select, check Text, Numbers, and 
Date&Time, and uncheck all other choices.  Under Options nothing should 
be checked; under Operations only None should be dotted, and under Shift 
Cells only Don't Shift should be dotted. Click OK.  In other words, you 
can Paste Special back into the original cells, thus  converting them to 
the desired  format.

Maybe the problem is that you simply need to start the formula with an

Assuming you're using AOO Writer, maybe your styles are not quite 
right.   Click Format > Organizer and look at Name and Next Page.  If 
you want all pages to have the same style, i.e., as described under 
"Contains", then whatever "Name" is being used should also be used for 
"Next Page."   Both could be "Frank's Letter" for example.

Moving beyond OOo 3.2.1

[Don Daugherty]

I've been clinging to version 3.2.1 of OOo and I'd  really prefer to 
move from OOo 3.2.1 (2010) to 4.1.1 (2014)!


My problem is that many of my spreadsheets don't work in the newer 
versions.  I use a lot of linking to html files containing dates that 
3.2.1 and before recognized as dates but which 3.3 and beyond treat as 
text.   I could insert extra columns containing VALUE() functions to 
overcome the change, but that's a lot of editing and would lead to 
larger, more complex spreadsheets.


Is there a setting or option somewhere in the new versions to make them 
treat these dates as dates rather than as simple text?

I currently have Microsoft 365 installed on my computer and I pay $6.99 per

after I install Apache Open Office, does it override Microsoft 365?  In
other words, will I still be able to view my current Microsoft Word

Please get back to me as soon as possible, since I am trying to avoid making
any more future payments of $6.99 to Microsoft.

  


Thank you,

Cheryl Smith


I haven't used Microsoft 365, but from what I've read elsewhere it uses 
the same file formats as Microsoft Word.  If that is true, then Apache 
OpenOffice should be able to open files created in Microsoft 365, i.e. 
*.doc, *.xls, etc.

If the data is is in cell A3 of Page X and you want an automatic copy of
it in cell D19 of Page R, I'd go to Page R, cell D19 and type = X:A3.

Hi Don,

Maybe I am misreading your suggestion (not forwarded to Randall), but if
R is say Sheet2 and I enter =Sheet2:A3 (instead of =Sheet2.A3) I get
"#NAME?" in Sheet2 B19.

Dave,
mea culpa!  Of course the correct syntax is Sheet2.A3, not Sheet2:A3 !

You don't need such a command.  The basic cell structure of a 
spreadsheet is automatically a table.  In Writer there is a Table item 
in  the  main menu.

Could these LWP documents be converted to Open Office?  I have hundreds of 
programs on LWP which I’ve used since about 1995.

I use Windows 7

Two possibilities
1. Try LibreOffice
2. Try the online conversion service at
