This is a low-volume list which will be used to announce the availability of OpenOffice betas and releases, to issue security bulletins, and to report similar relevant information. This is not a discussion list. It will be used only for authoritative announcements regarding Apache OpenOffice. We encourage all OpenOffice users and other interested parties to subscribe to this list by following these steps: 1) Send an email to: ooo-announce-subscribe&lt; at &gt;incubator.apache.org 2) Wait a few minutes and then check your inbox for a confirmation email. 3) Respond to the confirmation email (If you ever want to unsubscribe, send an email to: ooo-announce-unsubscribe&lt; at &gt;incubator.apache.org and respond to the confirmation email.)

Each time the objective file is opened (i.e. referring file), OO 3.3 brings up "Text Import" to convert to an *.xls.format. I save all files in .xls format to maintain compatability. With OO 3.2 upon first time import I would convert to *.xls format; thereafter with each opening of the objective file, upon clicking "Update), the file would open updated from all imported files. The previously mentioned problem, that "Paste Special"-numbers &amp; formats only from a VLOOKUP cell, pastes an empty cell. This rendere OO 3.3 useless to me. Is OO 3.3 the latest version?, If there is a more recent version I would try it. Otherwise, I either need OO 3.2 or must go to another office program. I can't imagine the problems are unique to my applications. What say you? ____________________________________ From: Jreyr&lt; at &gt;aol.com T</pre> Jreyr< at >aol.com 2011-11-22T20:45:07 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.openoffice.general/57376 <pre>I have been using OO 3.2 with good success. But upon installing and using OO 3.3 I am encountering serious problems. That which I know so far is that OO3.3 Spreadsheet will not carry out calculations wherin one or more values are obtained via a VLOOKUP.function Specifically I have several spreadsheets that obtain values from another spreadsheet. E.g. a specific code is: =VLOOKUP($A16;'file:///C:/Documents and Settings/jreyr/My Documents/ATTACHE-FINANCE/GJJT last.xls'#$Sheet1.$A$2:$M$27;2;FALSE()) If I paste special so that the actual numeric value is present, the calculations proceed OK. Calculations are carried out OK with OO 3.2. This situation with OO3.3 is unsatisfactory and is uselrss to me. Upon installing OO3.3, OO 3.2 is gone. Is there a remedy to the VLOOKUP problem or is OO3.2 available? The calculations are carried out daily, so I am in real trouble with this and urgently await a reply. s/G.G.

It contains important information related to this mailing list, its migration to the Apache Software Foundation, and the steps you must take to ensure continuous access to the list. Background As you may have heard, Oracle contributed the OpenOffice.org (OOo) code to Apache in June. All new projects at Apache start in the "Incubator", a special part of Apache where new projects ("Podlings") and their communities are given special attention by Apache "mentors" as they learn about Apache, ensure that the source code meets Apache's license requirements, and work toward their initial Apache release. In parallel with the coding efforts needed before we can publish Apache OpenOffice.org 3.4.0, the Apache OpenOffice.org community, working with the Apache Infrastructure team, is migrating the many legacy OOo websites and other online services formerly hosted by Sun/Oracle onto Apache servers. This has been a huge effort and we are showing good progress in many areas. You ca</pre> Rob Weir 2011-11-01T17:05:34 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.openoffice.general/57345 <pre>If I export a table as PDF, which has extra rules, exported PDF has an EXTRA page containing only rules. OTOH, when it comes to printing the same one, there is no extra pages. I often export PDF, so exporting extra pages is inconvenient for me. I would appreciate it if you would listen to me.

The topic is generally about security at Apache and the process of responding to reports of security vulnerabilities, best practices, etc.. I'd like to provide information about the "how" but also the "why" about how we do things the way we do. Mark Thomas, from the Apache Security Team, has consented to let me interview him. I'm planning to base the blog post on an edited transcript of the interview. To make this post as useful as possible, I'm looking for questions from project members and users.

And consequently I have decided to offer the idea on project rescue. The idea is simple. To simplify official registration of papers with formulas. The matter is that it is impossible to insert values of variables into formula Math. And in state standards it is necessary to write the formula containing both variables and given (values of variables). Algorithm of actions of the user: 1. Document creation 2. Formula addition 3. Addition of the data for substitution in the formula. 4. Reception of the formula with the substituted values. 5. A formula arrangement in conformity to state standards. Idea 2 To connect this formula with Sage (http://www.sagemath.org/) for realization of calculations of formulas. It will be killer application ( MathCad) Я слышал , что Ооо может закрыться. И поэтому я решил предложить свою идею по спасению проекта. Идея проста .</pre> willywhite< at >rambler.ru 2011-10-15T16:18:27 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.openoffice.general/57334 <pre>Hallo dear Ladys and Gentlemen!!

Please install a "PAUSE" or "STOP" so that I can control the slide show and hold it (PAUSE) the show. I have 100+ slides and I want to hold a slide till I finish something else. I have looked endlessly in the FAQs and found nothing. I have asked others and no one ever heard of it. So I assume their is none. So therefore can it be installed !

Our team is having difficulties in using 'Open office’ software. With Open office in Linux we could not retain the formatting(such as italic, bold and other special characters) while copying from source text such as pdf document unlike Microsoft office. We did not find any difficulties when we use Open office in Microsoft Windows platform. We would like to check, is there a way out to solve this problem? That is we would like to use Open office in Linux platform without this formatting issues. Kindly let us know. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

The more complex the formula, and the more obscure the verbs in that formula, the greater the likelihood this will occur. Therefore, if I were to export a simple workbook of one or 2 spreadsheets, I likely would have no cleanup issues.
