Software :: OpenOffice - Edit TOC And Footing Numbering?
Jan 4, 2011
I have a .doc file. The Table on Contents has Roman Numerals as well as the footing. The Table of Contents is linked to the pages and headings. How do I change these to a different numbering system: 1,2,3,? The format is A4 and I want to convert it to letter. Can I do this and keep the links in the TOC to the pages and headings?
I could not number formula in Open Office writer relative to a chapter. I would like to numbering like 1.1, 1.2, 1.2. 2.1 etc. Is it possible. I searched in Helps, but doesn't found anything!
I use Ubuntu 10.04 and OpenOffice 3.2.We have forms we use for computers we sell. I have to fill out a profile. The problem is I cannot enter text into the text entry fields. I get this error:"Readonly content cannot be changed. No modifications will be accepted."Here is a link to one of the files. If you try to enter more that a digit or two in a text field, you get that error:[URL]
Using Debian Lenny Openoffice 2.4 I have a Table of Contents that I need to edit. Some of the levels are out. It has 7 parts. Part 3 is buried under Part 2. Is there a way to fix this and bring out Part 2 to be a main heading in the Table of Contents? Is there an easy way to do this, or do I need to edit the entire Table? The entries in the Table are linked throughout the document. I've looked at a few tutorials on the Internet, but am still uncertain about how to do this.
I am trying to make an application server that would contain simple ones like edit, openoffice, gimp, so on and so forth. I know how to access these using ssh but what I want is that the application runs on that server as it already does, but to open local files and save them locally.
As you know, many (or most?) books number the first pages using roman numbers, so in the pdf the page #1 is actually the logical page #12.
Also, the combined file doesn't have a logical index (section, subsection, etc.) showing in okular or evince.
Since I have many pdfs in similar condition I was wondering if there's a way to change the numbering to make the first "n" pages use logical roman numbers and add a logical index.
When using the pr command for formatting simple text files for printing, page numbers are included in the header by default. I figured out how to remove the date from the header (pr -D ""), and how to remove the title (pr -h ""), but for the life of me I can't figure out how to remove page numbering from the header. Anybody know how/if this can be accomplished?
I'm having trouble getting a system to boot. Specifically, I think the MBR is trashed and I don't know how to repair it. I'm scared to experiment The system has a PATA DVD drive, a SATA drive via a motherboard connector and two 3ware RAID controllers. I can boot systems from the DVD drive but when I try to boot from the hard drive grub says Error 2 (which is a stage 1.5 error, I think).
The m/b SATA drive has both a 10.3 and an 11.1 system installed, on partions 2 and 3 respectively. Partition 1 is a swap partition. The RAID arrays are whole-disk LVM systems containing data. I want to run the 10.3 system. The BIOS is set to boot from the DVD then the m/b SATA, and NOT to boot from the RAIDs. Two issues worry me: grub's disk numbering and grub version dependency. If I boot into the rescue system on the 10.3 install DVD it shows the partitioned disk as /dev/sda. If I boot into the rescue system on the 11.1 install DVD it shows the partitioned disk as /dev/sdc. I suppose that means something in the kernel changed?
If I run grub in the 11.1 rescue system, I can say "find /boot/grub/menu.lst" and it reports two files on (hd2,1) and (hd2,2). If I run grub in the 10.3 rescue system it says error 15 file not found.I'm scared to use 11.1 grub to setup hd2 because when I've tried previously I've managed to overwrite the LVM metadata on one of the RAID arrays. Is there some way I might get the find command in the 10.3 grub to work? Or is there some way to test what the 11.1 grub will do that is non-destructive.
I'm trying to install a language-pack for my OpenOffice, but there seems to be a dependency-problem. Maybe someone has a suggestion. FC12, x64 OOo.x64 3.1.1
I have an nfs share that mounts automatically when kde starts.
Code:
wendy@DellNB:~$ cat .kde/Autostart/mountNAS.sh #!/bin/bash mount ~/TestShare #echo "NAS Mounted"
[code]...
Gimp works fine editing and saving photos from/to the nfs share. kWrite can do its thing and read/create files on the NAS. Files I create with vim are visible and editable under windows. OpenOffice however, when I try an open a file I get "file is locked by unknown user." I open as copy and try saving to the share with a different name... No Dice, error saving to share the file is created on the share but it is empty. I did some reading and found a post that said to comment a line from a file called soffice, which I cannot find.
Is it possible to edit the "Places" menu the way one can edit the "Applications" and "System" menus on gnome?
Right-clicking on the bar gives only Applications and System as editable menus. I would like to remove some items from the places menu and add others of my own liking
What I am trying to do is edit the link target to force ip=xxxx.xxx.xxx string at end. I have a software program which access 4 different servers running the software but with different configs. In xp I can copy links and modify as above to correctly force the program to the various servers.
I have read the various how tos on hard vs sym links which I get. Playing around with hardlinks and sysmlinks (the examples I find) does not seem to be what I need. Feel like this is pretty basic stuff but I am a bit stumped.
I tried to load the Letter from the openoffice "wizard". It said I needed Java Runtime Environment. I installed jre -no problem. Went back to openoffice, opitons, java, tried to add it, must have missed where the executable was. Now I cannot uninstall the damn thing.Why is this such an on-going hassle? Why doesn't someone at Ubuntu write a script or an easy how to?
What is the best way to install OpenOffice 3.2 in Fedora 12? I currently have 3.1.1 installed, done as part of the install process plus yum updates since then. I've heard that 3.2 gives much better docx support. I just loaded a .docx file into my current version of OpenOffice, and it looked a bit munged.
I've just downloaded openoffice 3.2.1. Then installed it via the script and manually after cd ing to the RPM directory. Thing is, it installs and the menu entries are there. But clicking on it results the splash screen to show up and dis appear.
Not talking about the repo version here, that one runs great. But for various reasons we NEVER use the repo-Version on any Linux distro in our company, mainly because we want all users to always have the exact same tools available no matter what computer they use, and the repo versions differ significantly from the stock openoffice.org version and from each other, not only visually. The stock 3.2.0 runs great on various versions of SuSE, openSUSE and CentOS on various computers, but fails to load on Fedora 13. Here's what happens, with both 3.2.0 and 3.2.1: when I first start it I see the splash screen, then the "Welcome to OpenOffice.org" dailog that appears on first start and asks for my details. I click on next and the application segfaults:
I've downloaded and installed Fedora 13 on my harddrive, it boots and I can log in.
What do I do now?
I've tried to install openoffice, but I can't get it to run. Unlike installing a program in windows, it appears there is a lot more involved in getting a downloaded .tar/.bz2/whatever they are to load and become a program.
I've tried borrowing a book on Linux, but I'm lost with that too as it doesn't tell me how to add/remove programs let alone get them running in the first place.
i've updated to oo 3.2.1 in 11.2 (64 bit) by deleting all previous oo packages and installing new. exporting (for example from draw) only gives the option of pdf. no jpeg etc.something's obviously missing but i can't find it. this has been posted back in 2009.
I recently installed OpenSUSE 11.3 x86_64 on my dual core AMD box. Everything seems to run great except for OpenOffice Spreadsheet. Whenever I attempt to open a spreadsheet it crashes on me.
11.3 install with gnome desktop on old PC (it's not near me, can give spec later if needed). If one goes to start open office suite, writer, calc, etc. You get the open office splash screen with suse and the meter gets almost completely loaded (probable 99%) then it just stalls. Within a minute or two the screen disappears and no open office. Any ideas It was a fresh install and I haven't added anything other than multimedia packages and KDE base/apps. All other apps. load fine. Should I remove OOO and then add it again?
My system: openSUSE 11.2 Linux 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop x86_64 KDE: 4.4.4 "release 3"
My problem: I just did a "zypper dup" to upgrade to KDE 4.4.4 from 4.3.5. All seem to have went well aside from that openoffice won't start anymore. I do get the initial splash and it goes away but then nothing else happens. I have tried both by clicking an .odt document and by starting it from Kickstart menu, same negative result. All other programs seem to be running fine as before. The current version of OO is now 3.2.1.6-1.1-x86_64
What I've tried: I tried to swith all packages to OpenOffice community repository,restarted pc but the result is still the same. I also did an unconditional update, restarted but the result is still the same.
I de-crappified a new laptop last week for a friend and set him up with OpenOffice.I had earlier salvaged files from his old PC HD, saved them to my Box. Most of his office files were actually the dreaded M$ Works (.wps)But I tried them and OpenOffice had no trouble, least in Linux that is.I burned his files to a DVD-RW and copied them to his new Laptop. OpenOffice for windows wouldn't have anything to do with the .wps filesStrange or what !
