Re: New computer

[Steven Ahlers]

Royal,

You should have access to your old files from wherever you backed them up to 
(external drive, cloud).

If you didn’t back them up it’s possible that you could have a computer repair 
business access them from your old computer’s hard drive.

That's also safer, since you're not totally disabling the Gatekeeper which is 
there to prevent malware from loading itself.

Re: Open Office doesn't open

[Steven Ahlers]

Maartje,

This a function of Gatekeeper. 

Assuming you downloaded from OpenOffice.org the only place you should download 
from.

Right-click (Control-click) the OpenOffice icon, allow the application to 
run/open.

Often this occurs while typing the person brushes the touch pad with their

First off only download from:
https://www.openoffice.org/download/

Second open the dmg in your download file

Third right click (control click) on the Apache Open Office icon in the 
Application Folder, choose Allow from the pop-up menu. Future times of opening 
will be allowed until you download an update where you will need to repeat 
second and third steps.

Fourth step if you want drag the icon from the Application Folder to your 
Dashboard

Re: regarding to install openoffice

[Steven Ahlers]

So assuming you're using Mac OS once you've downloaded Apache OpenOffice and 
opened the DMG and dragged the file to your application folder, the next step 
is to right click ( control-click) on the icon in your application folder and 
allow the application to open. You'll be good to go from there.

Re: Printing

[Steven Ahlers]

Nancy,

It would be helpful for all of us trying to help you to know:

What operating system and version you’re using.

What version of OpenOffice you’re using.

Which module you’re trying to print from.

Re: Open Office for mac

[Steven Ahlers]

Gloria,

Assuming you downloaded it from OpenOffice.org, opened the DMG and dragged the 
icon to the Application Folder. Then you are experiencing the Gatekeeper 
function of the Operating System (not Safari).

To overcome this simply Right-click (Control-click) on the icon in the 
Application Folder and then follow the subsequent menus to allow the program to 
open, you should only need to do this the first time.

Re: Problem opening files on Macbook

Bob,

Try opening OpenOffice from the Applications Folder.  If it does open 
successfully, close OpenOffice, delete the icon on your Dock and drag a new 
copy of the icon from the Applications Folder to the Dock.

Re: Scans to text

[Steven Ahlers]

Michael,

Use the OCR app that is part of your scanner software. Then copy and paste the 
resultant text into a Writer document.

If your scanner doesn’t include OCR app there are FOSS OCR apps available 
depending on what OS you are using.

Peter,

You won’t have to pay anything as long as you download the program from the 
official web site: http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html
You should not have to remove any software from your computers.

Be sure to read and follow all instructions for downloading the software.

Assuming you meant an All in One Printer, have you downloaded the most recent

What operating system are you using? Have you run a print test and does it

Re: Unable to Size the written Page

Without complete information, there are several options:

1) bottom right right click on button to adjust zoom percentage or use slider

2) bottom right just to the left of zoom slider on word processor document 
click on number of pages displayed

3) in view menu at top select option you wish to change 

If this doesn’t fix your problem please supply us with operating system (OS) 
you’re using, version of OS, version of OpenOffice you’re using, what type of 
document you’re having problem with and with a description of what you’re

Re: Auto Spell Check not working on laptop, but does on desktop

[Steven Ahlers]

The following link from the users forum links to how to reset your users 
profile, the most common source of this problem. 

https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=89052

The most common cause of this problem is caused by a too hasty shutdown or 
closing of top of laptop  before allowing OpenOffice to finish closing out 
files (general housekeeping).

Re: open a single page document on the entire screen.

[Steven Ahlers]

Merry,

You need to set the view zoom factor back to normal view. On the bottom right 
of the window there is a button to select a view percentage, click on it and 
select what view you would like; usually 100%.

Re: Icons

[Steven Ahlers]

Randy,

It sounds as though you’ve downloaded from a site that is not the official 
site. You should go back on your timeline before you downloaded this bundle of 
software.

Then go to: 
https://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html
the official site to download the software. When you start the download you 
will be redirected to a Source Forge site that is the mirror site that hosts 
the download install. DO NOT CLICK ON ANY BUTTONS ON THIS SITE. This will 
download the exe file to install OpenOffice which will give you the one icon to 
start the program. Once the program is installed you can delete the install exe 
file.

Please respond to:
users@openoffice.apache.org
so that all users can help you.

Re: Problems with installing open office on the MacBook Air

[Steven Ahlers]

This is an issue with the Gatekeeper to prevent malware installation. 
OpenOffice downloaded from
https://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html
Is safe. Please read the instructions at the above address or look at the 
information at Apple Help on Gatekeeper. 

The simplest and safest way to get around the Gatekeeper has been to Right 
Click (Control Click) on the OpenOffice icon and follow the instructions to 
allow the program to run.

If you have any further questions please address them to the users list address:

Re: Documents not saved OO 4 1 6

Richard,

When you saved it where did you save it to?
What did you answer to the query about updating the links?
What operating system are you using? Assuming you’re using windows have you 
searched for the saved files using File Explorer? What was the result?

Re: Lost File

[Steven Ahlers]

JW,

Right click on the file, chose “Open With...”, chose “OpenOffice Calc” (you may 
have to search in “More apps ⬇️”), chose “OK” it should open in Calc. You can 
tick the “Always use this app to open [extension] files” box if you only want 
this file type to open in Calc.

You can also accomplish this by right clicking on the file, chose “Properties” 
click on “Change” and chose “OpenOffice Calc” as above.

Please respond to:
users@openoffice.apache.org
to let us know if you were successful or not.

Re: Microsoft works files

[Steven Ahlers]

Sandy,

If you still have access to MS Works you can open the files in Works and then 
export them in MS Office (Word, Excel) format and then import them into Apache 
OpenOffice. Spreadsheets can also be exported in CSV format and then imported.

If you don’t have access to MS Works you can utilize online file converters.

https://www.zamzar.com/
Is a free service that works well.

Any conversions can result in formatting errors so careful proofing is 
advisable.

If you have any further questions please contact:

Yes, it is compatible.

How are you trying to open your files? Are you starting OpenOffice and then 
find the Recent File list doesn’t contain the file(s) you wish to open? If you 
click on the file folder icon next to Open... on OpenOffice StartUp menu can 
you find the file(s) and then open them?

When you click on the Documents icon on the Dashboard or in the drop down menu

Re: open office software SPREADSHEETS

[Steven Ahlers]

In the Data drop down menu choose:

1) Define Range: give it a one word name, in the Range box specify the first 
and last cells
2) Select Range: choose a named range
3) Sort: Options tab—allows you to select options 
 Sort Criteria—allows you to choose column(s) to sort on and 
order in each column

If it produces something you don’t like go to Edit drop down and Undo Sort

This may seem works for simple lists or multi column databases as long as you 
define the range correctly.

Re: can not open OpenOffice

[Steven Ahlers]

Bill,

What version of OpenOffice do you have installed? You may need to install a 64 
bit version if you haven’t updated recently. Go to:
https://www.openoffice.org/download/
and install the most recent version.

You maybe running into the Gatekeeper of macOS. Once you have the latest update 
installed Right-click (Ctrl-Click) on the icon, choose  Open, then choose Open 
in the next pop up dialogue.

If you have any further questions please contact: 
users@openoffice.apache.org
so that all users can assist you.

Re: Can you help me??

[Steven Ahlers]

Make sure you have downloaded the most recent driver for your printer from 
their web site, not just from a disc included with the printer.

Then restart your computer, the change to your operating system from the 
addition of the printer driver will not take effect until the system is 
restarted.

Next make sure the new printer is the default printer in the operating system.

Then restart OpenOffice and open the file you want to print. Choose print from 
the File menu. You should now see your printer and the options available to 
control it.

Re: Upgrade to Mac Catalina

Make sure you have updated your printer drivers from the printer’s web site. 
Then restart your computer to implement those updated drivers. Then start 
OpenOffice and retry printing. Also make sure that your printer’s ink levels

You probably need to download the latest version. Apache OpenOffice has been 64 
bit for MacOS for awhile. Make sure you read and follow all the release notes

Re: Update

[Steven Ahlers]

Beverly,

It sounds as though you are using an old version of OpenOffice. You need to 
download a current version of the software. Go to: 
https://www.openoffice.org/download/ and follow all instructions including the 
information that Dave already provided.

As a courtesy I have sent you a copy of this message. If you’re not subscribed 
to the users list you may not see all of the responses to your inquiry. Please 
respond to: users@openoffice.apache.org so that all users can assist you.

Re: Connecting to database remotely

You could move the data base to a file sharing application like Drop Box. It 
would then be accessible from any internet connected computer with OpenOffice 
installed on it.

Re: EXPORTING NARRATIVE FILES

I generally generate PDFs from the print dialogue: from File menu choose Print, 
in bottom left corner there’s a button to start the PDF dialogue which allows 
you to name the file and where you want to save it.

Re: EXPORTING NARRATIVE FILES

Yes, I primarily use my Mac. I guess I assumed that Windoz was the same. Just 
tried on my Windoz machine and the choice came up as a printer at the top of 
the print dialogue. Thanks for alerting me to the difference.

Re: Question for Tech Support

Steve,

We are all users just like you. You very seldom get “tech support” with free, 
open source, software; unless you pay for it.

When you say split screen do you mean 2 consecutive pages side by side? Do you 
mean 2 different documents side by side? Do you mean 2 different locations 
within the same document?

Re: Perhaps Uninterruptible Power Supplies Should be used with AOO for Non-Portable Computers

[Steven Ahlers]

Tom that’s an interesting idea. I would suggest an even more important concept, 
practice good computer hygiene: before you leave your computer save all 
documents, shut down all programs. Then if there is a power failure no problem. 
I would recommend clearing out browser memory (history, cookies, etc.) you can 
bookmark websites and use a password manager to easily return to websites on 
restart.

Re: Open Office Excel

[Steven Ahlers]

Joelle,

Do you mean an OpenOffice Calc file? If you do mean a M$ Excel file you will 
need to go to a Microsoft help site.

Assuming it is a Calc file there are some pieces of information that would help 
us help you.

1) Do you get an error message when you try to open the file you’re having 
problems with? If so what does it say?

2) What operating system and version are you using?

3) How much RAM does your computer have?

4) What version of OpenOffice are you using?

5) How much memory does OpenOffice have allocated for use?

6) How big is the file you’re trying to open?

As a courtesy I have sent a copy of this message to you, if you’re not 
subscribed to the users list you may not see all of the responses to your 
inquiry.

Please do not respond to my email address, respond to the users group email 
address: users@openoffice.apache.org

Re: Perhaps Uninterruptible Power Supplies Should be used with AOO for Non-Portable Computers

Ron,

Something I neglected in my original response is frequent backups. In OSX there 
is a built in app, TimeMachine, that regularly (to whatever frequency you want) 
backs up files to external storage. I use an external 1 TB hard drive for 
frequent saves (15-30 minute intervals) then a cloud backup for less frequent 
(daily to weekly).

Larry,

Right click (control click) on file, choose Open With, navigate to Writer and 
Open. If you want this to happen to all “Word” files then check the box for all 
similar files.

Re: Sorting in Open Office

Rob,

Are you using a spreadsheet in Calc? If so have you defined your DATA RANGE?

Your example list will sort fine once you have defined the DATA RANGE.

Re: New Computer - Microsoft has changed my documents to Word

[Steven Ahlers]

Jennie,

The File Association of your documents has been changed. This is something that 
Windoz is pretty aggressive about doing. To fix this open the File Explorer app 
in Windows System (or the File Folder icon on the Task Bar). In the window for 
File Explorer open the folder that has your Writer files in it. Highlight one 
of your Writer files and then click on the triangle (down arrow) to the right 
of Open. This will bring up a menu of choices of programs to open that file in. 
If OpenOffice Writer is not in that list chose “Chose another app” and search 
through that list to find OpenOffice Writer, click OpenOffice Writer and then 
check box “Always use this app to open .odt files” this will change the file 
association on all .odt files to OpenOffice Writer. If you have saved text 
documents in other file formats then you will need to change the file 
association for those formats as well.

As a courtesy I have sent a copy of this message to you since you may not see 
all replies if you are not subscribed to the users group.

As a courtesy to me please do not respond to my email address, respond only to: 
users@openoffice.apache.org so that all users can assist you with any further 
questions.

Thank you,

Steve
