You send an email to a user forum. Everyone is a user like you.
As OpenOffice is an open source project developed by volunteers there is 
no phone service.

Most questions get quick response from fellow users.
So when you have a question or problem send it to us.
Make sure you give enough information e.g. version of OpenOffice 
Operating System

what you were doing when the problem occurred etcetera.

may help you reset these so that MS Office opens such files.

This message comes from Windows not from OpenOffice.
Either you have the file open in a PDF reader or there is a lock file.
Try to save in an other directory and see if the problem is solved.

Hi,

  Hope you guys are doing well. i just have a query about the "column" section of

possible that when we are reading any column the column text flows from first column followed by 
second column and so on but the writer while distributing text evenly fills first lines of each

The writer guide has over 500 pages hence a chapter and page number will

Use File --> Send to email in different formats
If OpenOffice can't find an email client it suggest to save the file and

don't you guys think hes wrong?


First you send a question about the writer guide to the user group on 
Feb 9^th I asked for chapter / page

reference and got an answer from Rory.
In a further communication with the documentation group (Feb 12^th ) you 
didn't copy the user group.

Unhappy with the answer from Keith you try to involve the user group again.

Both answers from Rory and Keith are correct. The reason I asked the 
chapter / page numbers is the
way columns are filled depend on how and where you define the columns. 
If you define column settings
at the page format settings it works differently as when you define 
columns in a frame or section where

you have the option to balance the columns.

So to answer your question is he is wrong is no, basically your question 
was not clear.

Your question to the user group had no reference to a writer guide.
Your question to the documentation group had a reference to the 2.0 
writer guide.

So how do you expect that you get a clear answer?

No. When the first line on the second column fills, text will flow to

The explanation is fairly simple. When the box to equally distribute

column arrangement where text flows to fill the first column then
fills the second column, text flows between columns such that when
the first line of the first column is full the text flows to the
first line of the second column and so on.

I hope the explanation is clear if not perhaps this link to the new

Technical you can't change the colour of a font, but you can change the colour

paragraph or character.  There are different ways how you can set these colours,
In you paragraph and character styles or overwrite it from the to menu bar.

So if you can explain where and how you tried to update the colour we can give

You should only download OpenOffice from www.openoffice.org, where you

Sorry, but this is simply untrue! Unless you were silly enough to tick 
"Current document only" (when this is clearly not what was wanted), 
Tools | Options... | OpenOffice Writer | Basic Fonts (Western) | 
Default sets the default for this and future documents.

Start with selecting your choices on the "Lists" tab and give it a name (Insert

Go back to the Cell where you like the Drop Down menu and select Validity from 
the Data menu.
In the window you select Cell Range and enter the name as the Source.

OK, I found that the source is from Word Templates Online

This website doesn't have contact information.
It looks that someone downloaded the template and saved it as a

Interesting is that the template has an average rating of five stars, 
but only one person has voted for it.

If you do a search for "calendar 2016" on the OpenOffice Template

17 Calc, 2 Draw and 26 Writer calendars are they all wrong or just
one.


i know that these templates are "open" sourced but it would be

Re: Custom number format code problem

Greetings,

AOO 4.1.2 on Slackware Linux 14.0 (K3.10.17).

I seem to be having a problem with a custom number format in Writer 
table cells in a template.  What I want is to display 2 digits to the 
right of the decimal point if the value's third digit and beyond is 
zero and 3 digits if the value's third digit is non zero.  Examples:

Value  Display Result
123.45  >  123.45
123.456  >  123.456
123.4562 >  123.456
I am using the following format code to do this:

[$$-409]#,##0.00#;[RED]-[$$-409]#,##0.00#

This format code works as long as I do not change the document's 
template (update).  When I open the document again, I get the message 
that the template has changed and when I update the template, the 
format in the document returns to:


[$$-409]#,##0.000;[RED]-[$$-409]#,##0.000

The root problem seems to be in the template save.  When I change the 
template format code to .00# and save it with the save icon, the next 
time I open or use the template, it has reverted back to .000.  I 
re-read the help on custom format codes and it confirms that what I am 
doing is supposed to work.  In fact, it is one of the examples.


Is there something I need to do to make this format code sticky in the 
template or is this a bug?


Thanks.
Girvin Herr

First of all always reply to this mailing list

that are happy to help.


Secondly we can't help you with your typing problems neither can we

So if you have a problem wit OpenOffice we're glad to help, but explain 
your problem and tell us the Operating System with version e.g. Windows 
10 and the Application with version number.

I hate my new toshiba. It's my 4th but the space bar has been

Re: bug

[Martin Groenescheij]

There are two possibilities as far as I can see:

1. The Cell is Formatted as a date field M/16
If you enter 5/18 it will displays 5/16

2. There is a AutoCorrect Option set for this value
Don't ask me why.


On 19/05/16 4:50 AM, James Plante wrote:

The problem IS the format. That cell is formatted to display mm/yy if it 
appears as you said. You entered 5/18, meaning May 18. The cell is formatted to 
display the month and the two-digit year, therefore it displays the month as 5 
and the year (2016) as 16, since if you don’t enter a year, it presumes the 
current year. That’s how it got to 5/16. The format is not set to display the 
day of the month, so it doesn’t. Try entering 12/24. It’ll come out 12/16 
unless you change the format.

If you can, as you assert, “change the format,” then change it to mm/dd instead 
of mm/yy. If you don’t know how to do that, go RTFM, and come back if you need 
more help.(Hint: Right-click the cell, choose Format Cells… then choose Date, 
and either pick a pre-made format from the list, or format manually.) For 
special formats, you’ll need to RTFM to find out the formatting codes.

Re: printing issues

[Martin Groenescheij]

The paper size is controlled by your printer. If you select your printer 
from within OpenOffice
you see a Properties option (from your printer). This controls the 
output size.


In OpenOffice you control the size you send to the printer by the Page 
Format.
If your size is not in the drop down menu you can overwrite the Height 
and Width.

Up to a certain point, depending on the font you are using. Highlight 
the text you want affected and then adjust the point size.  To do 
this, in the tool bar near the top of the window, there is a box with 
the name of the font (the default is Times New Roman) and next to that 
is a box with the point size in effect (12 is the default).  Click on 
the arrow to the right of this 12 and select a smaller number.  Some 
fonts can be made smaller than others.


The smallest size you can select is 6 pt, but if you enter in the box 5% 
it get even smaller.

Even if you zoom to the maximum you can't read it anymore.

Charles,
Are some of the tabs actually missing or are they _all_ scrunched down

I randomly had the latter problem some time back.  There wasn't enough 
of the tab top to click on to select the tab, let alone remember which 
tab was the one I wanted, since they were all unreadable.


IIRC, I was able to get the tabs back by reducing the window to a tab 
on the desktop and back, or maybe it was to put another window of the 
same or larger size over top of the problem window and back again.  It 
was a long time ago, so I am not sure what I did.  But when the 
problem window was redrawn, I got the tabs back again.

Re: Email format.

[Martin Groenescheij]

OpenOffice is not an email program, in that way it will not help with 
your email problems.
OpenOffice is an Office program with Writer as an equivalent for Word 
and Calc for Excell
In Writer (Word) you are able to use every font that is installed on 
your computer, you are

in control of setting for Initial Caps or not.
This said you need to understand to work with Styles and it takes time 
to learn this.


The good news is that OpenOffice never ask for money, but make sure you 
only download

it from www.openoffice.org

In addition, I have part of a book I was writing, working on it for over 7 
years. It did make it safely onto this computer from a backup file I had.
But it seems incapable of merging the old font with any new font, because it 
was first generated on Windows XP. So I can read it, but not add to
It. Do I have to retype all 500 pages?
Or, will your program help me? I am running Windows 10, downloaded from Windows

Alternative is to copy the .odt file and delete the content of the

Now you have at least an empty document with all Styles as in your

Everything you copy now from your original documents should have at

It's not hard to get an answer at all, it's only hard to get the answer 
you want.



  I
went to the forums but it doesn't give you a complete answer it just
recycles you around very confusing thank you for your help


As most of the answers are given by the same users as on the forum, you 
probably get the same answer.


You can clear the Recent Documents list (all 10)  from the same menu, 
but it will add new ones when you
open other documents. The simplest solution is to read the two top rows 
and ignore the rest.


Have fun.

Yes you can disable the 'Preview as Web Page' option.
Go to Tools --> Customize  ... Menu and remove the 'Preview as Web Page'

It could be that you have a virus, best way to prevent is to install

As you didn't tell that you where working with OpenOffice at that time 
it's most likely that one of your emails had a virus.



This has never been experienced before and as the emails which have been lost

Of course, a straight port to Java would be difficult. But IMHO that'd not
be the right way to approach it.
The right way to approach big problems is to divide them into little
problems that are easier to solve.

What does an Office suite do? Open office files and display them. Then
allow users to edit them, and save them. (also, print them). ;)

So what is the most easily postable part of a big office suite? I/O of
course. Loading documents into memory and saving them. That requires no UI.
That (ODF input/output libraries) would be IMHO the first target to attempt
to isolate and port. Then once that is achieved it could be attempted to
create a Java based AOO Document VIEWER (that just displays a document not
edit it). And finally the biggest hurdle would be to replicate (if porting
is not possible) as much as possible the AOO GUI / behaviour using Netbeans
Platform components / widgets.

But of course it'd d take slow, small incremental steps until reaching the
desired goal.

Whether or not a new page style is needed for each even page, depends

only two page styles are needed --- LeftPage and RightPage.

If every even page needs its custom, non-sourceable header, then a page
style for each page _might_ be needed. This is doable, but extremely
tricky. Anybody going this route needs to think long and hard about why
each page needs a custom, non-sourceable header, before tackling it.

If one is experienced at constructing page styles, it will take between
10 and 20 attempts, to get the pages to flow correctly.


I consider someone that need 10 to 20 attempts as inexperienced


If one is not experienced with creating page styles, then budget at least 500
attempts, to get the pages to look the way they should, and flow
smoothly into each other. IOW, this is not for the feint-hearted.

Ponder on why, for what the OP wants,


The OP hasn't expressed what he wants, all he said is "For instance".
Without knowing his exact requirements it's hard to recommend a strategy


they have to create the page style
for the last page first, and the page style for the first page, last.
Then factor into consideration what happens, if they get the number of
pages for a specific section wrong.


I doubt if he wants a Header related to a page number, it's more likely 
to have a Header related to the content of a page.

If that's the case working with a Master document could be a solution.

Re: Request for Nofollow or Removal of Links to My Site at Openoffice

[Martin Groenescheij]

To my honest opinion the template website is one big mess, over 23 
thousand templates

from which many are menu cards, price lists and store locators.
I believe Google is the place to find this type of information.
Templates should be templates and not an alternative to advertise products.

Probably submitters should periodically confirm the validity of the 
template and if not

confirmed go into archive mode.

The problem is that you don't read the answers given already to you. for

One can certainly edit a style after it is used.  The best way to to this 
(works for all versions) is to use /Format /Styles and Formatting (or F11 key). 
 The window that then opens provides access to all styles; this access is 
controlled by the five icons across the top of that window.

Please note Rory talks about All Styles and Five Icons the documentation 
referred in replies from others explain all of this.


and style changes propagate in some magic way that makes them work if 
they
are placed correctly in an underlying structure by a myriad of tools 
who's

use is NOT intuitively obvious.

All I wanted to do was put a title page, and table of contents in 
front of a multi file document that prints exactly as it needs to. Why 
this is so complex, in what is supposed to be a mature software 
package used by millions is hard to under stand. If volunteers at OO 
want their project to succeed they need to stop adding features, and 
make it easy for first users to do something productive with the 
software without having to learn a bunch of

intricate complexities.


Creating a document is the easy part, formatting a document and make it 
attractive to read is an art which requires

time and effort to master.



This is the structure
text1, when empty, prints correct
file1, prints correct
file2, prints correct
text2, empty

The question: What needs to go in text1 in what order to make it work.


The real question is are you willing to put some effort in yourself.



If files can be linked into text1, than all that would be in it is the
commands to make the styles put the Title Page, and Contents page in
front of file1, and start the page numbering with one.

In user friendly software, this should take about ten minutes,
not ten hours.

This is a user mailing list. For an explanation of the underlying 
structure you need to talk to the developers, who
by the way seldom visit this mailing list. We're happy to give advice on 
a voluntary basis , but hand holding is

something different.



Starting with the template.
Does the title page need a different template without page numbering?


Title pages don't need to be different, but can be different based on 
your requirements.



If not, what overrides the page number, how is it inserted, and where
does it go?
etc.



It's the results that count, not the tools you use.
To achieve perfect results you don't need a perfect application, even

I want to have columns  I set as currency to assume the last two digits should

Spreadsheets don't assume things, it expect to get clear instructions 
and you are the instructor.



For example, if I input 1257, I automatically want a decimal inserted between 
the the 2 and 5 to read $12.57. Presently, I have to insert a decimal point 
with each entry. If I don’t insert a decimal, it is assumed a decimal is to be 
inserted at the end of the number input and then it inserts a decimal and two 
zeroes. So if I input 1257, it shows $1257.00


It shows exactly as is should display currencies with two decimals, 
nevertheless you could change the number of

decimals with Cell Formatting.


whereas I want $12.57. If I input 12, the application assumes $12.00 and not 
$0.12
This causes me to insert a decimal point exactly where I want it instead of the 
application assuming the last two digits are to have a decimal inserted before 
the two digits.


Learn to live with restrictions of applications, they never do what you 
want.

Based on the number of entries you have there are two options:
1. for entering a few numbers just enter the decimal point
2. for a huge number of numbers enter the whole number e.g. 1257 in one 
column and enter a formula in the

next column to divide the previous column with 100



Also, I don’t think the leading zeroes function is working for at least 
Format>Cells>Currency. No what number I input for leading zeroes, there isn’t 
any change in the output number.


Can you show us what the format code look likes?



I obviously need help.

Thanks you for a great product and your time to create and maintain.

De labels worden geprint via een met kabels aangesloten Zebra printer. GK420d 
staat op het printertje. EPL staat er nog bij properties.

Als ik bij printersettings - properties - geavanceerde instelling het Mediatype 
'Label with gaps' verander naar 'Continuous', worden er geen extra blanco 
labels meer geprint, echter komt alles niet goed uitgelijnd op de labels te 
staan (half over snijrand bvb)..

Translate question / comment into English:
it's open document Text.
I can't find the version anywhere.
It is displayed on a checkout screen, not on an ordinary computer.
The labels are printed using a Zebra GK420d ELP printer connected with

If I am in printer settings - properties - Advanced setting, the Media 
Type Label with gaps' change to 'Continuous', no extra blank labels are 
more printed, however, all is not well aligned to stand on the labels 
(half on cutting edge example) ..


Answer:
The fact that you have an Open Document file doesn't mean that it is 
generated with OpenOffice.
You should ask a system administrator or the company that has installed 
your checkouts to correct the problem.
We're here to assist users with OpenOffice issues, not to solve non 
related business issues.

My question was not the type of document, but which application and version you 
use.
Because there are different ways to generate labels we like to know how you 
generate labels.
Without being more specific I can't help.

In Dutch:
Welke applicatie en versie gebruik je om labels te printen.
Op welke manier genereer je de labels, er zijn verschillende manieren om 
dat te doen.
Indien je niet meer specifiek bent kan ik je niet helpen.

What can I do?

Could you be a bit more specific?
What application and version do you use to print the labels?
What Operating System do you use?
Do you use Mail Merge to print labels?
Probably most important, can you share the label document with some address 
records with us?

You can use  Insert-->Link to External Data to insert the Full Path into

Re: READ ONLY

[Martin Groenescheij]

First of all you need to know why the file is READ ONLY there are a 
couple of good reasons for example
the file could be saved as READ ONLY by purpose or a file could been 
improperly closed.


If improper closed you see a file that starts with .~lock. than your 
file name and anding with # e.g. .~lock.Untitled 1.ods#

You could delete this lock file and open your document

OpenOffice give you the option to open these file in READ ONLY mode or 
open a COPY


Changing EXTENSIONS don't solve anything it causes only other problems

SO here you have the FINAL resolution

Cannot understand why there is such a problem in dealing with READ ONLY and
why it is even applied to a spreadsheet in the first place. It should be an
option for the USER to protect data as one sees fit. PERIOD.

  


Will changing EXTENSION problem? If so to what and how? THNXS for a FINAL

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

In notepad++ I would \r\nCHANNEL Find and Replace to CHANNEL, which would
cause the CHANNEL lines to append themselves to the above line, and then
\r\nLAST would do the other lines which begin with LAST (losing the
MODIFIED and SEEN).

How can I do the same thing in Writer, to make the data for each user in a

I wouldn't mind knowing how to elimiate the colon ":" after USER: AUTOMODE:
SEEN: AND MODFIED: without eliminating the colons in all of the times? The
obvious way is Find and Replace each one R: E: N: and D:, is there a more
efficient way, maybe a regex for letters not numbers?

Hi,

At best, you can try to recover something from the temporary files,

Have you made sure there was no back-up in the profile (if you had the

Indeed, this is a problem known for quite some times. IMHO the most 
critical one. But nothing done yet about that.

Very often, it is linked to power shortage during the save operation.


OpenOffice need some time to compress and write the file to disk.
If a user shut down his system before the file is saved to disk this 
could happen.

If the user also save the file on a Cloud Drive it is more likely to happen.
And if a retired computer professional does this without creating 
backups he has to live with the consequences.

I suspect that if you use a non-Microsoft email and browser, you will 
be able to open documents received in your choice of application.


It has nothing to do with the email or browser your always able to open 
each file with whatever program you prefer

just select Open with... from the pull down menu in Windows Explorer.

If you want your selection as default  select Always use this app to 
open .??? files


Also, you might delete MSWord if you never use it, but first make sure 
that OO will open all files that Word will.

I am on a meager fixed disability income through Social Security.  (I miss my 
successful career and paycheck).


You can find and download extensions from www.openoffice.org/extensions/ 
they are all created and maintained

by volunteers.


2.  I’ve noticed with many apps, not just yours, require numerous permissions.  
Some of them, I would be a total idiot to allow.  For example, the ability to 
alter and/or delete files, photos, access to my contacts, ability to send texts 
and emails, etc.  My personal feelings, the photos are irreplaceable due to 
deceased family and friends, children and grandchildren from infant up, travel 
experiences (non-repeatable), etc.  These are my private, personal items and I 
honestly do not trust anyone enough to allow carte blanc of MY PC, MY files, MY 
photos, and again, etc.


All permissions asked is just to install the extensions, as far as I 
know non need access to your personal information.




I sincerely would like to have some apps/extensions to go with my Apache as my 
plan is to utilize you to the extent I am able and avoid Windows/Word.  
Therefore, I request your assistance and attention to the above to hopefully 
enable me to proceed.

I look forward to your responses.

It is unlikely that your documents are converted, it's more likely that

agreement about this, sothere is an automatic conversion into Open 
Office,or something?

How should I react to this?
Thanks for enlightening me!

This is frustrating beyond reason!

I am signed in and browsing for templates here http://templates.
openoffice.org/en/node?page=1

There is absolutely NO WAY to download the templates I want. Either I'm am
told that I don't have access http://templates.services.
openoffice.org/en/template/cbrainpower-13-creativ-learning-made (remember,
I am signed in) or I get a page like this: http://templates.
openoffice.org/en/template/scenario-template

Neither on the first page or on the pages that come up is there a download
link or a button that says "Use It." If I try downloading it with a right
mouse click, it tries to save the link as an html file not an Open Office
file type.

Even when using the template manager in Open Office, all I get is the
Website for templates Which STILL has no way to SAVE the files
http://templates.services.openoffice.org/?cid=923508

The question isn't even addressed in the forums. This is INSANE! What is
going on?

The question was: From which URL not what type of template you tried to 
download.
OpenOffice don't charge for anything, therefore we like to know from 
which site you download.

Could I download this on another computer and then transfer the installer to

I looked at the mirror sites and I see many files so I am not sure which one(s)

OpenOffice should be downloaded from www.openoffice.org only this site 
redirect you to sourcefoge.com

the download should start automatically don't click on any advertisements.
If it slow down there could be two problems 1) slow internet provider 2)

Frames are your friend see this document 
:

Use frames when you need to:
• Position something in a particular place on a page, for example, a 
logo or a “stop press” news box in one corner of a page.
• Allow text on one page to continue on another page, somewhere more 
distant than the next one, by linking the content of one frame to 
another so the contents flow between them as you edit the text.

• Wrap text around an object, such as a photograph.


Also, how can I put a short caption under each photo?

In OpenOffice you can select Page Styles, both C5 (229x162) and DL 
(220x110) are available from the drop down menu.
The remaining question is, does your printer have these sizes available 
or can you enter custom settings?

Both File types aren't Open Document files, but if you were able to open

You can change them in the Control Panel.

You may consider upgrading to LibreOffice, it has this particular

OpenOffice is not actively developed these days.

Yea, what's up with you, when I click "i" it will correct the "i" to an I.


I updated so i thought it would be fixed. It is NOT!


In general it is not necessary to fix non existing problems.

As others have noted, with regard to OpenOffice 4.x.x the answer is

I am going to espouse heresy here.

I have used OO about 4 years.  When I started, it was a  reasonable
alternative to the Micro$loth product.

Over that time period, IMHO OO has gone downhill.  Too many bugs not fixed;
too many problems ignored.  (The user profile / dictionaries /. spell check
being only the most common one.)  Its a  result of too few volunteer
developers.  I don't have those development skills, so I can't help with
those issues.  I am a  tool user, not a  tool builder.  I think I have
found a  tool  which suits my needs better, that being LibreOffice.  I am
in the process of running both suites in parallel and think that I will be
eliminating OO sometime after the New Year.

Libre Office is available at:

www.libreoffice.org

LibreOffice is the same price as OpenOffice, i.e. free.

I have no economic or proprietary interest in either OpenOffice or
LibreOffice.  Just a fellow looking for a  better tool.
