Ubuntu :: Various OpenOffice Types In The Same Document?
May 24, 2010
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.

you are using Calc to hold data, and you have a column of surnames. You enter True and it turns into TRUE: OO has decided you wanted a Boolean. Similarly, you enter a date as 12 Jan 09: it may appear in that format, but you can't search for Jan 09, only for 01/09. Is there any way one can set the data type of a cell as text, or prevent OO from carrying out unwanted type conversions? I suspect the answer will be no; I can't find anything in the pages, and I suspect the developers would say I should be using Base. Well, I don't want to use Base: I want my data displayed spread-sheet style There is a solution: to insert non-breaking spaces in dates and after words like "true", but it would be nice if the problem could be fixed just once.

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!!)

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

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 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?

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 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 would like port 80 to have a small daemon running on it that detects HTTP traffic and sends a small redirect response, and any other traffic begins streaming data from my VPN daemon. I was wondering if this has already been made, or any kind of technology for detecting types of traffic and allowing you to run multiple types of servers on the same port.

I'm trying to use "netlink" to get ip address of a Linux box. But the linux/types.h included from "linux/rtnetlink.h" introduced many conflicting type declarations with "sys/types.h".
#include <rtnetlink.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
return 0;
}
The program will demonstrate such type conflicts.

I'm using Grsync and I want to be able to plug in any drive into my laptop and run rsync on it to back up all the user documents on there to another external hdd and to exclude everything else. Working on the principle that user documents don't always appear where we'd expect I want rsync to look through the whole drive and filter what it backs up by file type. I am only having partial success, however.
I am using the 'filter' option in the 'additional options' box. I am using the command
Code:
filter='merge /home/tim/Desktop/filter'
and I am attaching the filter file I have written. (I have added the .txt extention to upload it).
I have tested this script on my home folder and here's what's going wrong. Rsync will copy the entire directory structure regardless of whether there are any files to be copied over in those directories. I am also getting only some file types getting included and not others. .odt and .ods files are copied, for instance, but not .doc or .rtf.

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.

I hope this is in the right spot. I need some help editing my .vimrc file. I want to edit it so that if I create a .cpp file, it will turn on cindent, and if I create a .asm file, it will turn on regular autoindent and set ft=nasm so Vim uses NASM syntax highlighting. How do I go about doing this?

I noticed in an update i did today that a number of things from the 'distribution updates' category were marked as 'new install'. Included in them were things like alien, Postfix, and RPM. the RPM especially confuses me. Is Ubuntu moving to being able to handle both package types? As far as I can tell these were from the official updates. not some third party repository I've added.

associate html attachment in emails with Firefox and tried to edit mime type extensions in Thunderbird through Edit/Preferences/Attachments/Download Actions/View & Edit Actions but it is empty and there is no way to add extensions there. Is there a different way to do it? I tried to choose Firefox while opening the attachment. It works but does not remember it for further actions.

I've noticed this issue for a long time now, and it's always bothered me. Whenever I have to open a file within a program or upload something to a website, etc., the window that pops up is always HUGE. The reason is due to the list of file types at the bottom. Instead of cutting off with an ellipsis at some point, every single applicable file type is listed. I can't resize these windows, either, so they always take up my entire screen. Is there any way to fix this so that these kinds of windows are a more reasonable size?

I want to make vlc the default application for opening avi files.
I tried 'open with a different application', selected vlc and checked the box 'Remember this application for "AVI video" files' (see attached), but the next time I double-click on an avi file it loads in Movie Player.
I've searched the Ubuntu documentation for "file associations" and "default programs" with no success. I'm probably using the wrong search terms, but somewhere, in all the configuration files and tables, there must be a way to assign a particular program to a given file-type.
(If you're wondering why I want to use vlc, it's because, after hours of research and tinkering, I finally got it to respond to my mceusb remote via lirc.)

I am trying to move files from one folder to another based on their file extension. I can do it with a single extension, but I want to match multiple.
Example:
This works, but I want it to not only match mov, but also mpg, flv, mp4, etc. I would think something like [mov,mpg,flv] would work, but it doesn't.
