Ubuntu :: 10.10 - OpenOffice Docx Files Freezes On Saving
Apr 12, 2011I have to use and update many documents on a network share in my organization. I am using OpenOffice 3.2 (latest and Greatest). When I go to the document that I need via the network share, I can open up the document no problem at all but the minute I attempt to save it, it will freeze and I have to:
PHP Code:
pgrep soffice| xargs -i kill -9 {}
Kill it. To get it to work I have to save the document from a .docx format to a .doc format then all works well. Unfortunately, all of my coworkers use the latest and greatest of MS Office.
Software :: Opening MS Word Does Not Recognize .docx Files By Default
Jun 21, 2011The OpenOffice word processor can open and read Microsoft Word files containing XML (.docx) perfectly well, but it--or KDE--does not seem to recognize a .docx by default. To open one with OpenOffice, I have to manually tell OpenOffice to open it, by going through the "open with" option on the right-click menu and specifying soffice. That's obviously not a problem, but it's a minor curiosity. Haven't Word XML files been around long enough that KDE and OpenOffice should recognize them immediately?
I'm not quite sure which to blame this on--KDE or OpenOffice--but KDE seems more logical. And is this a small limitation of KDE 3.5? because I'm still using 3.5. (I'm trying to switch over to Trinity, but have not made the switch yet.)
Fedora :: How To Read *.docx Files
Feb 8, 2010Is there a way to at least convert these files to a different format without using MS Office? I have no access to MS Office (100% non MS user) and I wasn't able to open a .docx file with OOo or AbiWord.

Nov 1, 2010Is there any program in Ubuntu that can open .docx files natively? I know that open office can open .doc files, but I need a program that can open .docx files. It also has to be able to read the embedded data, such as text themes and bibliography data. Conversion is no good. I have been using Office 2007 through Crossover, but for some reason it can only have one window open at a time, which severely limits what I can do.
View 2 Replies View RelatedServer :: MailScanner Blocking Docx Files?
Sep 17, 2010My MailScanner running on CentOs is blocking docx files, saying "The original e-mail attachment "****.docx" is on the list of unacceptable attachments for this site and has been replaced by this warning message.
I've tried adding it the list of allowed files:
/etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf:
allow .docx$ - -
but it still blocks them.
I've also tried manually coping the message file from the /var/spool/MailScanner quarantine/ directory into /var/spool/postfix/incoming
but this did not result in the mail being delivered.
I desperately need these mails released, and docx files to be allowed unconditionally. Anyone know why the above isn't working? Failing that, can all file blocking be turned off? I'd rather have virus relayed than legitimate mails blocked.

Jul 26, 2010I 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.
View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: OpenOffice: Temporary Hang On Opening Document?
Feb 14, 2011I'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
OpenSUSE :: OpenOffice 3.2.1 - Hangs Opening Document
Sep 10, 2010Running 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.
General :: OpenOffice.org 3 Waits 25 Seconds Before Opening?
Jan 8, 2011I'm on Fedora 14, and OpenOffice 3.3.0 takes a long time to open (about 30 seconds, sometimes less). It isn't a CPU or disk performance issue, it's just simply a very long delay before the program opens. It appears to be a frivolous network connection timing out. According to Wireshark, it tries to look up:
dulcimer.(none)
which fails, after which it tries to look up:
dulcimer.(none).mylitestream.com
(dulcimer is my hostname, and LiteStream is my ISP)
Is there a way to work around this bug in OpenOffice?
Ubuntu :: Opening MS Word Docs In OpenOffice - Changing Format
Feb 18, 2011I noticed that files that were written in MS Word 2003 change when opened in Open Office 3.2.1 This usually involves tables, lists, and image placement, as well as page margins and boundaries. It sometimes makes it annoying when reading files saved in MS Word .doc format that other people send me. Does anyone know if there is an extension to fix this? Or settings that can be changed? Also, was this addressed in version 3.3.0 of OpenOffice? Has anyone tried it on LibreOffice? I don't want to install VirtualBox, Windows, and Office to read Word files properly. I dislike MS.

Jul 16, 2010I wanted to compose a letter and include photos that are on my other (secondary) hd. When I navigate to the folder that the photo is in, OpenOffice suddenly crashes without warning. Then I have to recover my file. If I insert a photo from my main hd (the one with SuSE 11.2 on it) then there's no problem. Why does it crash when I try to go into my other hard drive? (It gets automatically mounted as /local when I boot into the system). I'm running Open SuSE 11.2 and OpenOffice 3.1.1.4 (from an .rpm)

Jan 19, 2010I'm running 9.04 jaunty. I made a file in gimp and saved it as .xcf. I want it to be a pdf file, so I try opening it with open office drawing, but it keeps opening it with the word processor instead. The word processor starts the file if I do a right-click 'open with' on the file on my desktop, and even if I use open from the file menu in drawing itself. I'm wondering what to do to get drawing to open this file. Is it that .xcf is not supported by drawing?

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Saving/opening Files From Firefox?
Jun 2, 2010I've been getting annoyed with the way that Firefox opens files for me. I used to have it so that they would come up with a window that asked whether I wished to save files onto the hard drive or simply open them. When choosing to Save, they would go to my Desktop. Because I mainly save files from my Uni website, they are generally .pdf files. N for some reason, they open in the Firefox window, so then I have to go to File, Save, then choose where I want to save it. It would be more efficient if it worked the way it did originally. How can I get the settings back to the way they were? I am running Ubuntu 9.04 and Firefox 3.0.19. Because I use a shared computer, I'm not sure whether the version of Firefox has been changed.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Niggly With Display Of Excel Files Using OpenOffice?
Nov 17, 2010My nephew dropped in today hoping I could print off some large Excel files. When I opened them in Office Spreadsheet I could see that each cell had a series of dots in it, similar to full stops (periods). These dots even occurred in cells that already contained text or numbers. Evenly spaced horizontally and vertically as if marking the corners of squares and regardless of the row height or column width. This wouldn't look good on a print out and being as he wanted them for a new job we booted up a Windows machine and took the printout from there. It turned out the page was intended to print to an A3 sheet whilst my available printers are all A4.
Later I reloaded these files into OpenOffice (3.2.0) because I was niggled about OpenOffice perhaps not achieving a decent performance against Excel, and printed off a couple of pages. The printout showed no sign of the dots, which is fine, but what about these dots that show up on the Spreadsheet page.
A bit more on this is that they show up in Preview in Web browser but not in Page preview. Any corrections on this admittedly trivial problem or do we just live with it?
Ubuntu :: Remove Warning When Opening Text Files?
Jun 20, 2010I really hate this warning when I try to open certain types of files in gedit: (using ubuntu lucid)
Quote:
Do you want to run File.c or display its contents?
"File.c" is an executable text file.
Open in Terminal; Display; Cancel; Run
Is there any way to remove the warning? I have never once clicked anything other than display, and when I'm opening lots of files, having to hold down ALT-D to get rid of these warnings.
