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]
View 9 RepliesWhy do you have to press ctrl-L to use the location text box in Nautilus? There used to be a setting in preferences where you could have it always use the text bar. Now you have to use some gconf command in the terminal. The gconf command I've used also will only work for normal users. If I want to open a root nautilus terminal to move files around between my mounted drives then I have to hit ctrl-l every time. It is really annoying because if I am in a Nautilus window there are lots of times where I need to copy the path to something I am doing in the terminal.
Why does it seem like everything involved with Ubuntu is simplifying things at the expense of having options? I thought GNU/Linux was all about options. I guess it still is, but I just cannot understand why you would completely remove options instead of just putting them in an advanced section or something.
I'm using Chromium 10 from the build service and just installed the upgrade to version 10. Now there seems to be an issue with scrolling. When i go to reply to an email in gmail there is something weird when i try to scroll. The scrollbar will move like i am scrolling but nothing actually in the text area moves

I have just done a fresh install of OpenSuse 11.3 I am using KDE4.When I move my mouse and click on a text field, I start typing and the first few keypresses are ignored. Or if I stop typing and pause for a bit without moving the mouse or doing anything, then when I press the next key it is ignored again.If I go to System settings -> accessibility, neither slow keys, bounce keys or sticky keys are ticked.The effect of this is that if I momentarily pause for thought in the middle of writing then sometimes half a word can go missing. Unfortunately this makes the desktop extremely difficult to use as I am always having to check that all my key presses have been accepted.

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 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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've had a very colorful morning learning the innerparts of Linux's sort command, and have come across yet another issue that I can't seem to find an answer for in the documentation. I'm currently using -t, to indicate that my fields are split by the comma character, but I'm finding that in some of my files, the comma is used (between double-quotes) within values:
Jonathan Sampson,,foo@bar.com,0987654321
"Foobar CEO,","CEO,",ceo@foobar.com,,
How can I use a comma to terminate my fields, but ignore the occurences of it within values? Is this fairly simple, or do I need to re-export all of my data using a more-foreign field-terminator? (Unfortunately, I do not have any control over declaring a different terminator with this particular project).
I'm trying to display fields from flat files where the first 8 fields are always the same. Fields 9 - n are varied but will contain specific patterns I'm after. I'm using this so far because "mySearch" is on each line I want to examine.
Code:
How would you pattern match and include 2 additional fields above field $9 but change field position from line to line?
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?
I just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 then discovered that, in openoffice.org-writer, the text in the UI is gone. It's strange because the text to be edited is still there. So maybe it's a font or rendering problem but I suspect something related to the window manager is going wrong. I have checked and re-installed openoffice but I haven't been able to fix this so far.
View 1 Replies View Relatedi have a problem, when i open OO, the text of the menus is replaced by little rectangles.
For example, instead of:
File Edit View etc..
(they look more like rectangles than squares) i also have this problem with drop down menus, font names, font styles and even with the numbers on the ruler.

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.
I have recently done a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04. Since then I have had no end of trouble with Openoffice 3.2.
When I open any office app, the text on the menus is corrupted and has lines going through it. I've included some screenshot to show what I mean.
Also, sometimes when I open an Excel spreadsheet my entire system crawls to a standstill and it can take anything up to 10 minutes for it to respond again. Not even the mouse cursor will move. If I reboot the PC and open the same document it will sometimes be just fine. It is very random.
So far I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling openoffice.org from apt-get, but this hasn't fixed the problem.
My system:
OS: Ubuntu 10.04
CPU: Core 2 Duo
GPU: nForce 610i/nVidia 7050 (onboard VGA)
RAM: 2GB
I've just upgraded to Maverick Meerkat on a new Dell system and everything was working just peachy until today. I've spent the last couple days tweaking my ubuntu so something I did made it so that open office only allows me to click inside it and write text some of the time, and very slowly. And then my panel doesn't show the text of the main menu headers. If i click on them though, the menu shows up with text inside it totally in tact.
The problem disappears when I disable the additional driver (preferences-additional drivers-remove). And recurs when I activate it. So, suspect its a conflict with xorg and the proprietary driver. I'm running emerald with window decorations (theme is neon glow) - changing the emerald theme doesn't affect the problem. Im also running compiz-fusion.
I have Open Office 3.2 with Ubuntu 10.04.When I select text-- a word, a few words-- and then click on highlight on the toolbar, it highlights the whole paragraph, rather than just the selected text. This is a new problem for me, before it seemed to be working fine.
I searched online but haven't been able to find anything about this problem. I had tried to install the sun version of Open Office a few months ago, but wasn't able to in the end: [URL] I saw that OpenOffice 3.3 is out, but I would rather not upgrade until Ubuntu puts out the upgrade.
How can print the, let's say 5nd field to the last field of every record (let's say we have 10 fields)?

I am creating a game with random variables. In the game I have created a dialogue exchange to players. I have set up a table with various returns and I inserted {$fields} to represent various random variables. When I call on the requested fields, I only see the field text and my field names. Am I supposed to parse something and call it back another way?
ie: myfield is: "You have won {$random1} silver! <br />{$wi['gender'] majesty rewards you well." the code I am using to call that field is:
I come from the Mac world, where I use [URL] to edit text from anywhere in Vim.
Is there anything like that on Linux ? I'm already using "It's All Text" in Firefox, but I'm looking for something broader.
Also, I've looked at this thread, but it's only solutions for software X, and software Y.
I have this really strange openoffice behavior. Normally to drag window i need to press alt+left_mouse_button and drug window. Exactly same result i'm getting while selecting text in OOo writer and impress. As simple as holding still for, literally, a second, while selecting text, will initiate dragging of the entire window. I'm running F14_64 KDE and using OOo from repos.

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 just received a spreadsheet. Column B contains thousands of rows that look like this:
Giant Red Pencil 0.99
Case 2.99
Green Box 1.49
Ruler 0.59
Spiral Ring 0.10
So each cell contains the item and price. I need the corresponding cells in column C to contain only the price like this:
0.99
2.99
1.49
0.59
0.10
How do I extract just the price from column B and put it in column C ?

I'm needing to read the Adam's Assembly Tutorials, that are old EDIT *.txt files, I'm on Linux and I need to read this files.What can I do?Is there any GUI editor that can read the files?There is any way to convert them into another file that is more modern1?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHow to change:
(1) My preferred File Management program, the one that kicks off when I use Places? and
(2) The amount of time before the display is put to sleep?
I DO NOT WANT TO USE A GUI FRONT END to do this. The reason is (1) my preferred File Manager, Xfe, is not listed as one of the options by Preferred Applications. And (2) Power Management Preferences allows 10 or 30 minutes before putting the display to sleep but I want 20 minutes. I need to know what files contain these configurations so I can edit them directly.
