<div>Hi, my name is Vivian Yi-Ching Chen. I studied electrical engineering and I always think writing is a wonderful way to demonstrate what I learned. Therefore, I decided to participate in the OpenOffice documentation project and I am happy to have my debut here. I will get myself familiar with the project and hopefully make progress along with the whole team. I had some programming experience in Java, C, and MATLAB. I also used PmWiki for my internship before. Please let me know how I can improve by contacting me at vivianychen@stanfordalumni.org and I really appreciate your comments! <br />
<br />
Editing Progress:<br />

This will export your text document to a Wiki, taking care of most formatting text attributes and simple tables. This extension supports OpenOffice 3.0 or higher versions.<br />

<br />
<section begin=answer/><br />
OpenOffice.org provides the best file filters currently on the market, allowing users to read and edit files from other applications. The OpenOffice.org filters support macros from [[Python as a macro language|Python]], [http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=1829 BeanShell], and [[Documentation/DevGuide/Scripting/JavaScript Editor|JavaScript]].<br />
<br />
One of the main goals of OpenOffice.org is to encourage the adoption of open and fully documented file formats and APIs so that in the future, users will never have a problem opening any file. However, until the OpenOffice.org file formats are fully adopted, users should keep in mind the following when opening, reading and editing files from other applications:<br />
* Hard formatting. Files which rely on hard formatting such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_return hard returns], [http://www.typographyforlawyers.com/?page_id=1734 hard page breaks], etc. rather than soft spaces, [http://www.typographyforlawyers.com/?page_id=1732 carriage returns], soft page breaks, or tab characters will yield better results.<br />
* Fonts. Opening files from different applications which use uncommon fonts with few metric equivalents can give the impression that the file formatting is jumbled in OpenOffice.org. Formatting will be best maintained when importing documents using common fonts such as, Arial, Book Antiqua, Bookman Old Style, Century, Century Schoolbook, Courier New, Lucida, MS Mincho, Monotype Sorts, Symbol, and Times New Roman.<br />
* Unsupported features. Not all features are supported by the file filters, for example, some Table of Contents functionality, some fields, and some footnotes functionality.<br />

'''How can I search many .odt (or .sxw) files for one word?'''<br />
<br />
I want to find the file by typing one word of the file title in any desktop search engine.<br />
<section end=question/><br />
<br />
<section begin=answer/><br />
<br>There are a few ways to do this:<br />
<br />
<ul> <br />
<li>A Windows utlity is [http://desktop.google.com Google desktop search], which has a plugin which indexes both the old and new OpenOffice formats (.odt and .sxw). Google desktop search uses the computer idle time to index files. After it finishes indexing, you can search files within a short amount of time.</li><br />
<li>The Windows desktop default search when you click the '''Start''' button and then type the file name at the command line.<br />
<li>A good cross-platform solution is [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=76130 DocSearch], a Java app which searches and indexes OOo files as well as MS Office, text, PDFs, etc. You need to create a new index before you begin any search. It is easy to use, very fast and allows fancy searches with advanced options.</li><br />

MSWorks files have a proprietary format which is being kept secret by Microsoft. However a reasonable workaround is to save your WKS files as RTF files. OpenOffice.org can read and write RTF files.<br />

'''How can I open Microsoft Works wordprocessor files (.wps)?'''<br />
<section end=question/><br />
<br />
<section begin=answer/><br />
<br />
The basic OpenOffice.org does not support Microsoft Works, so you should convert a .wps file to a file compatible with OpenOffice.org. The following list provides ways to convert .wps files to compatible OpenOffice.org files:<br />
<br />
* If you have Microsoft Works, open the .wps file in Microsoft Works and resave it as rich text format (.rtf) file.<br />
* Use Microsoft Word, resave it as .doc file.<br />
* Use an [http://www.google.com/search?q=wps+converter+online online converter service] such as [http://zamzar.com/ Zamzar].<br />
* Use any of these OpenOffice.org variants which include libwps (see note below): [http://sourceforge.net/projects/ooop OxygenOffice Professional], [http://www.neooffice.org NeoOffice], [http://www.ubuntu.com Ubuntu], [http://www.go-oo.org Your Office Suite], [http://www.libreoffice.org/ LibreOffice], or any other [http://katana.oooninja.com/w/editions_of_openoffice.org variant based on ooo-build]<br />
* Use the libwps command-line [http://libwps.sourceforge.net wps2html or wps2sxw converters]. (OpenOffice.org can open either .html or .sxw.)<br />
<br />
Note: The [http://libwps.sourceforge.net libwps] library was designed to allow OpenOffice.org, KWord, Abiword, and similar programs to import Microsoft Works wordprocessor documents. Though available since early 2007, the mainstream OpenOffice.org has not incorporated the code ([http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=8938 issue #8938]). <br />

OpenOffice.org versions 2.4 and later have an export filter built in, that exports to:<br />
* XHTML<br />
* PDF<br />
* BibTeX<br />
* LaTeX 2e<br />
* MediaWiki<br />

* Just open a Writer document (or copy formatted text into Writer)<br />
* Click '''File''' - '''Export'''. <br />
* Change '''File format''' to '''MediaWiki'''.<br />

Some users[http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=277201][http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-openoffice@lists.debian.org/msg16179.html] get a "Write error", however, on trying to export to any format except PDF:<br />
<br />
<pre>Error saving the document <filename>:<br />
Write Error.<br />
The file could not be written.</pre><br />
<br />
This is related to the use of Java for the export of all the formats except PDF. <br />
<br />
It seems you must have the correct version of Java and dependencies installed.[http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-openoffice@lists.debian.org/msg16179.html] However, it is not clear which version should be installed, as Sun's and GCJ's Java are both reported to give problems. On Ubuntu, the problem can be caused if the <code>openoffice.org-java-common</code> package is missing (i.e. not installed).<br />
<br />
It may also be a problem with where temp files are saved, if OOo doesn't have permission to save there. (Look it up under Path, and choose a path within your home directory.)<br />

Depends on the type of file that you want to convert to, you can have the following choices:<br />
<br />
*Go to '''File > Save as''', and choose the file type from the drop down menu of '''Save as type'''.<br />
*Go to '''File > Export as PDF''', and covert the OpenOffice.org document to specifically PDF files.<br />

'''What file formats does OpenOffice.org Writer support?'''<br />
<section end=question/><br />
<br />
<section begin=answer/><br />
Many different types. The easiest way to see is to use the file dialog ('''File > Open''') and look at the file types listed there.<br />
<br />
Chapter 1, <I>Introducing OpenOffice.org</I> in the Getting Started Guide, has the file management information of how to open, save files, etc. Appendix B, <I>Background Information</I>, includes a list of supported file types. These chapters are available in free PDF from the [http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Chapters OpenOffice.org 3.2 User Guides].<br />

Current versions of OpenOffice.org will open WordPerfect files. However, you cannot save to WordPerfect formats from OpenOffice.org<br />

Not in OOo 2.<br />
<br />
In OOo 3 you can install the [http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/pdfimport PDF Import extension]. It allows you to open a PDF file in OOo Drawing for an optimal layout accuracy. <br />
The text is shown in text boxes that can be edited.<br />

<div>Hi, my name is Vivian Yi-Ching Chen. I studied electrical engineering and I always think writing is a wonderful way to demonstrate what I learned. Therefore, I decided to participate in the OpenOffice documentation project and I am happy to have my debut here. I will get myself familiar with the project and hopefully make progress along with the whole team. I had some programming experience in Java, C, and MATLAB. I also used PmWiki for my internship before. Please let me know how I can improve by contacting me at vivianychen@stanfordalumni.org and I really appreciate your comments! <br />

'''How do I turn off number recognition in tables?'''<br />
<br />
I want the number or date to be displayed in a certain way in a table, but OpenOffice.org automatically changes to another format. How do I stop it?<br />
<section end=question/><br />
<br />
<section begin=answer/><br />
If you type <I>03.29.2011</I> in a table, OpenOffice.org will display <I>03/29/11</I> instead. If you type <I>03292011</I>, OpenOffice.org will omit the leading zero.<br />
<br />
In order to cancel the number recognition function, follow the steps below:<br />
<br />
* Go to '''Tools > Options'''.<br />
* Choose '''OpenOffice.org Writer'''.<br />
* Click '''Table'''.<br />
* Click and cancel the '''Number recognition''' box.<br />

'''How do I stop OpenOffice.org from changing the first letter of a word to uppercase?'''<br />
<br />
When lower case text is typed, OpenOffice.org changes the first letter to uppercase. How do I reverse this setting?<br />
<section end=question/><br />
<br />
<section begin=answer/><br />
This setting is designed to correct sentences mistakenly typed starting with a lower case letter.<br />
<br />
To reverse this setting:<br />
<br />
* Select '''Tools > AutoCorrect Options''' and then the '''Options''' tab.<br />
* Near the top of the list, uncheck the '''[T]''' box next to "Capitalize first letter of every sentence".<br />
* Click '''OK''' at the bottom of the dialog to apply the change. <br />

OpenOffice.org is configured by default to perform certain automatic formatting and correction as you type. This can be very useful, but can also lead to unexpected results.<br />
<br />
You can learn to use this feature, or if you prefer you can turn all or some of the automatic formatting off. You can either:<br />
<br />
*Turn ALL off/on: under '''Format > AutoCorrect > While Typing'''.<br />
*Turn some off/on: under '''Tools > AutoCorrect Options''', click various tabs to choose different correcting and formatting functions. The AutoCorrect tabs include '''[Replace]''', '''[Exceptions]''', '''[Options]''', '''[Localized Options]''' and '''[Word Completion]'''.<br />

<br />
<section begin=answer/><br />
OpenOffice.org is configured by default to perform certain automatic formatting and correction as you type. This can be very useful, but can also lead to unexpected results.<br />
<br />
You can learn to use this feature, or if you prefer you can turn all or some of the automatic formatting off. You can either:<br />
<br />
*Turn ALL off/on: under '''Format > AutoCorrect > While Typing'''.<br />
*Turn some off/on: under '''Tools > AutoCorrect Options''', click various tabs to choose different correcting and formatting functions. The AutoCorrect tabs include '''[Replace]''', '''[Exceptions]''', '''[Options]''', '''[Localized Options]''' and '''[Word Completion]'''.<br />
<br />
<br />
The table below describes some of the default behaviours and which AutoCorrect setting controls them.<br><br><br />

<div>Hi, my name is Vivian Yi-Ching Chen. I studied electrical engineering and I always think writing is a wonderful way to demonstrate what I learned. Therefore, I decided to participate in the OpenOffice documentation project and I am happy to have my debut here. I will get myself familiar with the project and hopefully make progress along with the whole team. I had some programming experience in Java, C, and MATLAB. I also used PmWiki for my internship before. Please let me know how I can improve by contacting me at vivianychen@stanfordalumni.org and I really appreciate your comments! <br />
<br />
Editing Progress:<br />
<br />
Week of 02/28/2011-Get familiar with the wiki language and OpenOffice documentation project.<br />
<br />
Week of 03/07/2011 to 03/18/2011-Started updating FAQs.<br />

<section begin=answer/><br />
OpenOffice.org is configured by default to perform certain automatic formatting and correction as you type. This can be very useful, but can also lead to unexpected results.<br />
<br />
You can learn to use this feature, or if you prefer you can turn all or some of the automatic formatting off. You can either:<br />
<br />
*Turn ALL off/on: under '''Format > AutoCorrect > While Typing'''.<br />
*Turn some off/on: under '''Tools > AutoCorrect Options''', click various tabs to choose different correcting and formatting functions. The AutoCorrect tabs include '''[Replace]''', '''[Exceptions]''', '''[Options]''', '''[Localized Options]''' and '''[Word Completion]'''.<br />
<br />
<br />
The table below describes some of the default behaviours and which AutoCorrect setting controls them.<br><br><br />

'''How do I turn off automatic correction and formatting?'''<br />
<section end=question/><br />
<br />
<section begin=answer/><br />
OpenOffice.org is configured by default to perform certain automatic formatting and correction as you type. This can be very useful, but can also lead to unexpected results.<br />
<br />
You can learn to use this feature, or if you prefer you can turn all or some of the automatic formatting off. You can either:<br />
<br />
*Turn ALL off/on: under '''Format > AutoCorrect > While Typing'''.<br />
*Turn some off/on: under '''Tools > AutoCorrect Options''', click various tabs to choose different correcting and formatting functions. The AutoCorrect tabs include '''[Replace]''', '''[Exceptions]''', '''[Options]''', '''[Localized Options]''' and '''[Word Completion]'''.<br />
<br />
<br />
The table below describes some of the default behaviours and which AutoCorrect setting controls them.<br><br><br />

'''How do I turn off automatic correction and formatting?'''<br />
<section end=question/><br />
<br />
<section begin=answer/><br />
OpenOffice.org is configured by default to perform certain automatic formatting and correction as you type. This can be very useful, but can also lead to unexpected results.<br />
<br />
You can learn to use this feature, or if you prefer you can turn all or some of the automatic formatting off. You can either:<br />
<br />
*Turn ALL off/on: under '''Format > AutoCorrect > While Typing'''.<br />
*Turn some off/on: under '''Tools > AutoCorrect Options''', click various tabs to choose different correcting and formatting functions. The AutoCorrect tabs include '''[Replace]''', '''[Exceptions]''', '''[Options]''', '''[Localized Options]''' and '''[Word Completion]'''.<br />
<br />
<br />
The table below describes some of the default behaviours and which AutoCorrect setting controls them.<br><br><br />
