Applications :: OpenOffice Document: Add Text To Readonly Content?
Aug 29, 2010
Using Debian Lenny
OpenOffice 2.4
I'm trying to fill in an application form that I downloaded. It has some shaded areas where I can answer questions, but there are
a couple places where the shaded areas are missing.Have you previously applied with the C.B.E? "Readonly content cannot be changed No modifications will be accepted." Can I add a shaded area in so I can fill this in, or can I disable the read only part?

I have been using Ubuntu 10.10 for a few months now. I enjoy working with it, but there is one strange problem with Open Office (and Inkscape as well). When I attempt to work with either the word processor or spread sheet (this probably applies to other Open Office applications as well) under the default theme in Ubuntu, inevitably I get text and other elements blotted out with line smudges.
I have included a couple of screen shots, but I am wondering if this is a recurring problem with theme support (Open Office doesn't really use GTK/Gnome, does it?) or if it is some strange affect with the nvidia driver that I installed (version 260-19-06, my card is a GeForce Go 7150M). I have also noticed a slightly different problem, with Inkscape, where the ruler marks that track. The cursor movement don't delete themselves when the cursor moves, so the little triangles build up.

When I open an open office document from an NFS share it always opens as readonly. This was a problem I had on Arch linux and the fix was to change the locking options in the soffice script but I've tried that fix here and it doesn't work. I've seen a lot of discussions but they all go back to changing the locking options in soffice, has anyone got any alternative fixes or one that definitely works with locking?

Im currently using OpenOffice.org Writer to write a hand in document for my course. I've come to the point where I want to create a graphical tree in Draw to present an idea and then add this document into writer. I've tried to use Insert -> Object -> OLE Object, and add the document as an inline frame. This looked pretty ugly though, either it's too small or there seems to be no way to just resize the frame without stretching the whole document into unreadability.

My father saved a document in openoffice.org on our Ubuntu computer, but it seems to have vanished. There is no icon in Documents (where he said he saved it) other than a zip file which doesn't have it in it. The only place I can seem to try to open it from is in OpenOffice itself under "Recent Documents", but when i click on it, it says "filename.odt does not exist", and i cannot right-click to open it with another word processor. I don't have backups enabled I noticed in OpenOffice's settings, but surely the document is somewhere! I checked in the trash but it's not in there. It's very important and he spent hours and hours on it, it would be terrible to try to write it again. I am very unfamiliar with the Ubuntu operating system as I myself have Windows 7,

I have an EeePC 701SD running Linux that I use for Uni assignments mostly. Recently, there were some issues with it so under advisement I reset the EeePC to its factory settings and reinstalled everything. Since then, I have been having problems with my documents through openoffice and was wondering if this was an openoffice problem or something else entirely.
If I save documents, I cannot open them again. I get a little pop up box if I open openoffice and go file/open that asks me to put it in Unicode. If I choose the file from my documents, it opens in texteditor, telling me it is a binary file and to save it will corrupt it. Neither option actually gets me my file; openoffice gives me lovely little squares, and texteditor gives me the # symbol.I cannot open the documents on Windows either.
a) what is going on,
b) how I can resolve it, and
c) how I can fix my documents (important, uni documents!!)

Last night I was working on a document on my brothers Laptop computer. While working on it however, the computer locked up hard and I had to press the power button. When I booted back up I loaded up OpenOffice.org and it offered to recover my progress as normal, so I gave it the go ahead but it gave me a blank page. No big deal, I thought, and went to load up the original document. That is when the *beep* hit the fan. The original document was corrupted. My theory was that it was saving at the time of the crash. A 50 KB document now reads as only 4 KB. I did have a backup of the document from about a month ago, but that is ten pages shorter than the document that I lost.
Is there anyway I can recover my progress on the document? The computer is my brothers Dell Latitude D600 running Fedora 12 and he is using OpenOffice.org 3. I checked the "~/.openoffice.org/3/user/backup" directory and found two documents, but those are just useless files from when we were doing Grade 10 Social Studies. I doubt the remains of the file are much use, as it has shrunk in size dramatically. So it seems I may be up a certain creek, but I thought I would ask a few of the guru's here for some advice.
I did learn how to make it automatically backup files in OpenOffice.org through. Hopefully that will help prevent these kinds of situations from occurring again.

Running openSuse 11.3 32 bit clean default KDE install.
When opening documents(Write, Calc, Impress?) in OpenOffice 3.2.1 there is a 7 to 10 second pause between when the document is displayed on screen and when any mouse action takes effect. This is not a document size issue, these are small documents with minimal formatting; one or two pages. Also, the system has ample horsepower and is not resource constrained.
Clicking on a writer.odt file, from within Dolphin, results in the following events: Open Office.Org(ooo) splash screen displays with progress bar zipping across for a couple of seconds. The document appears on screen. For the next 7 - 10 seconds, clicking in the document or clicking ooo menu items or anything else results in nothing happening. Actions outside of ooo work fine. ooo simply freezes for the 7 or so seconds and then everything returns to normal operation.
As a test I tried opening Writer with the default blank document. I started typing immediately after the blank document was displayed. I typed Te and then it froze for several seconds before displaying the final two characters st As before, once past this first few seconds, everything is fine.

I have OpenOffice 3.2 installed on Ubuntu 10.04 but it is so slow when opening any document and when saving documents that I would like to go back to an older version of OO. There was never any trouble with older versions of OO.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit with all the current updates. It was a clean install, but I did import my previous home folder. The only things I can think of that depart from a standard installation are that I'm running an encrypted drive with LVM and I've installed some extra fonts.Whenever I open an OpenOffice document (write or calc) for the first time in a session, I get a 5-7 second hang that locks up only OpenOffice. It can be an existing document or a fresh document. The hang doesn't occur until I can actually see the document. In Write, I can actually type the first few letters of a sentence before the program hangs. Once the 5-7 seconds elapses, everything in OpenOffice seems to work just fine, and the remainder of the sentence I typed appears.
This happens whether I start OpenOffice from the command line, by double-clicking a file, or from a launcher. There are no error messages in Terminal. Once OpenOffice has been opened in a given session, even if I close it, any documents subsequently opened open fine without the hangAccording to this thread, the problem seems to have existed in Lucid, too, though I don't recall experiencing it then. I tried adding the recommended line to my /etc/hosts file as described here, but it didn't help. One of the posters filed an issue with OpenOffice.org that includes some technical explanation for the issue that's way over my head.The other solution offered in the above thread, using OpenOffice open/save menus, doesn't seem to apply in my situation, but I tried it anyway and it made no difference.
It looks like the issue isn't limited to Ubuntu, as I found this post on the openSuse forums that describes the same problem I'm having. Unfortunately, no solution for me there, either.I have tried renaming the .openoffice.org and .openoffice.org2 folders, rebooting, and retesting, but that didn't work.As annoying as it is, I could easily live with it since once I've opened OpenOffice it's not a problem, except for one thing: I'm running a bash script using unoconv to automate processing some documents, and it will fail due to the hang if I don't open OpenOffice first, even though the script itself opens a headless session of OpenOffice. It seems like the 5-7 second lag trips it up. I guess I could come up with a workaround in the script, but I'd like to try to fix OpenOffice, first

I have noticed that when I create a table in openoffice writer and I create a formula in a cell in order to add all the numbers in a column (ex. <A>+<B>+...) they work fine but then when I save and quit the document and open it up again the formulas dont work anymore and I have to retype them. how can I prevent this from happening?

I have installed Ubuntu 10.4 at my laptop (lenovo G530) which includes OpenOffice 3.2 (Oracle). The problem is that I turned the laptop off without saving a document in Openoffice.Now every time I open OpenOffice it comes the OpenOffice Document Recovery and asks me to Press "Start Recovery". The dialog window is too large and I can't move it beyond the top of the screen to find the "Start Recovery" button. It goes until the top of the screen and that 's it!Also I can't resize it to a small one.I have tried to "move" it but it doesn't work.I have autohidden the upper and down bars but nothing!The window is too big to find the "Press button".
How can i make the window going upper the screen?

This is rather queer, as I know what I'm looking for, but I'm not sure what it is called, or whether it exists in Writer.
I'm writing a report, and I would like to have the content (index) page configured "automatically", so that it lists my headings in the rest of the document, but if I add something in the middle of what has already been written then it should pick that up and change the content page accordingly, without messing up the page numbers.
It's quite a pain to make a content page by hand. I think MS Word has a tool to allow you to do this, but I don't want to use MS Word in this case for various reasons. So does anyone know what this is called and perhaps how it is done on Writer. Although, if I know what it's called, I can use the Help.

I am considering creating a new website with a number of relative links. By this, I mean something similar to a wiki where inside a given page are links to other terms/ideas on other pages (in the same site). In reality, what I plan to link to/from are various articles which are inter-related but not entirely encyclopedic in nature (as many wikis such as wikipedia tend to be).
I am looking for two applications which I can use offline (I think--if you think I need something else, open to all ideas):
An offline application that is *very* simple at allowing me to create content articles as described above and to preview that the relative links work (if need be through a browser or some sort of preview) such that once I put them online I will have little/no necessary clean-up to ensure relative links still work. My articles will have both images and text and I also want to be able to relatively easily move the images around where I want them without having to mess around with HTML directly too much. The more WYSIWIG/visual, the better.
While I'm at it, any recommendations of how to easily get this content online?Also, can I worry about the template (CSS or whatever) later or do I need to do that right from the start? (Sorry, haven't done this stuff in about 3 or 4 years and my memory is lacking.)I use Ubuntu 10.04 and am trying to avoid KDE at the moment.

Is there a software that can capture a rectangle on the screen defined by a mouse click and drag in which the content is saved the buffer somewhere in png format and then I can cut and paste it to openoffice in one step ? This way I don't have to use a screencapture the whole screen and then pop up imagemagic and then crop the image, save it and read it from openoffice.

I have recently installed OpenOffice.org and I can't find any executable file that actually starts up OpenOffice.
What is the equivalent to the old "soffice" executable which previously would start up OpenOffice?
I installed by executing the "setup" program after extracting the archive, I selected pretty much all of the items to be installed (at least the essential ones) and then let it install -- I didn't get to choose the path to install to, but I saw it stated that this would be installed under /opt.
I see two directories:
Neither of which contains any readily identifiable file that is the main program. What file should I execute?

Is there some kind of universally recognized pragma that one can insert at the beginning of a text document to designate it to be UTF-8 encoded (or any other encoding)? I've seen certain editors insert encoding comments, and one or two compilers that have an encoding pragma. But I was wondering if anyone has tried to establish some kind of universal tag format for text documents.

Good day, having a spot of bother with Openoffice, for some unknown reason im finding majority of the menu & button names have been replaced with "O" characters instead. Its doesn't effect all, but for example in the Writer, the only drop down menu at the top being render correctly is "Table". code...
All the buttons/sub buttons still work if you can guess where their pointing!
The only way I can seem to solve it is to remove "openoffice.org-gnome" & "openoffice.org-gtk" package.
Ive tried a complete reinstall already. Its usable without the above gnome and gtk extras but obviously not as nice to look at.
Im sure it was working fine the last time I used it?
