HELP WITH OPEN OFFICE

I recently downloaded open office. I followed all instructions (I am relatively computer illiterate and new to mac) and it works fine on its own. The problem is it will not allow me to copy something from the internet and paste it to a document. I'm sure there is a simple solution but I am at a loss. Any help is appreciated

I used to use OOo and used the X11 front end. I now use NeoOffice which is OO with a Mac front end. Works great and you can paste internet text and graphics into a document. I would think that OO did the same thing.
Do you high lite the text or graphic and right click on it and choose the copy option?
Do you then go to your doc and and right click on it and choose paste?

  • I recently upgraded to Lion, and immediately started having consistent problems with Open Office 12 (would hang, and need a Force quit to recover). Has anybody else seen these problems? Any solutions other than going back to Snow Leopard? (I did).

    I recently upgraded to Lion, and immediately started having consistent problems with Open Office 12 (would hang, and need a Force quit to recover). Has anybody else seen these problems? Any solutions other than going back to Snow Leopard? (I did). But I'd like to use iCloud with iPad.

    Hi Pete. The repair of disk permissions can help resolve  any application crashing or misbehaving.
    As for Lion and the two camps, I think that is a reasonable observation. In my office we have about a dozen Mac's and about one third of those Mac's had problems after updating from 10.6 to 10.7. The main problem for these Mac's was a loss of wifi stability. But for the other two-thirds, Lion was a smooth transition.
    Personally, my Lion experience was fine. But I did get a new i7 MacBook Pro with Lion already installed and only had to migrate my user data from a 10.6.8 TM backup.
    So I think that is a key for Lion's operational success. A clean install of Lion on a new Mac would not cause too many operational issues. But an installation, or more correctly, an update to Lion from SL increased the chances of failure for some users - especially when old software & plugins resided on the Mac. And I would say that they were the people that you saw at the Apple store.
    As for the "latest release of Lion fixed my problems" statement, my experience with these and other forums is that people mostly only go there to complain about the problems they are having. If they are having no problems then they either keep it to themselves or they try to help the users who are experiencing trouble...

  • Help with opening Adobe Reader and downloading updates

    I can not open Adobe .pdf files any longer (this started yesterday, prior to that I could open adobe files).
    When I double click a .pdf file I get this notice on my screen: Windows cannot access the specified device path or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access file.
    So I went to the Adobe download site to download a new copy of Adobe.  When I start the download I get this on the screen:  The instruction at "0x0e3a0068" referenced memory at "0x0e3a0068."  The memory could not be written.  Then two options are listed: click OK to terminate or cancel to debug.  So I click on cancel and I get this on my screen: Internet Explorer has closed this webpage to help protect your computer.   A malfunctioning or malicious addon has caused I.E. to close this webpage.
    I don't have AVG running, I do have avast but I've disabled it.  I ran Registry Mechanic and an I.E. erasure program but nothing helps.
    I have gone into I.E. and reduced the security level to its lowest state but no joy.
    So, any ideas or suggestions on what's the problem and how to overcome it would be appreciated.  Thanks, in advance, for your reply.  Jim R.

    Hi Mike..tried that as well but no joy.  A friend of mine was looking at it all and noticed that it was an I.E. thing as far as not letting me redownload the reader so I went to Mozilla Firefox and I could download a new version but....whenever I attempt to open a .pdf file I get that message, "Windows can not open the specified device, path or file. You man not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." 
    Damn...this is irritating as I need to get to some of thos files as I need them for a Journal I'm working on as editor-in-chief. 
    It all worked just fine last Saturday but starting Monday when I was on my flight out to D.C.  no joy. 
    Sigh...Jim R.

  • Associating .doc files with open office

    I have open office installed on my iMac. When I open an MS Word document using the basic File--->Open it opens it with no problem.
    However, when I click on it I get an error dialog that says the "script could not be run because.
    -43"
    How can I associate documents with open office?
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    What version of OO are you using? Are you using some sort of OO launching script? Do you have the current version of X11 installed?
    I don't use OO rather I use NeoOffice Aqua because it doesn't require the use of X11.

    The last time you opened OpenOffice, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again? i have a problem with open office, if I press reopen, nothing happened  ans i see always this information on my mac? what can I do?

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Help with Open Browser Window

    I built a site named greenscapepump.com. I used the behavior
    "Open Browser Window" that allows a photo to be viewed in a smaller
    window. I have it set up to double-click the photo name to go to
    the browser window. It works on some computers but not others. I
    used the same behavior on other pages in the same web site and it
    is working on all computers.
    The three pages under the menu "Portfolio" are: Architectural
    Fountains, Waterfalls and Streambeds, and Floating Fountains, are
    the pages that have problems with this behavior on some computers.
    Is this an individual computer problem, or do I need to do
    something in Dreamweaver to fix it?

    OMG - the code on the architecturalfountains page is a horror
    Why do you need to use doubleclick.... most users are
    accustomed to clicking
    on a link wait for something to happen....
    Also, the code for that dropdown is massive... are you really
    committed to
    that menu?
    The validator found quite a few errors on that particular
    page - I didn't
    test each page (that's up to you :) these errors aren't
    helping with your
    page load also - one of the pages (can't recall which now)
    just kept trying
    to load and never did stop... try fixing the errors (some
    more important
    than others to the well being of your page) and then see
    where you are at
    with your pages... I'd also suggest changing the
    'doubleclick' to just the
    one click - really no need for anything else.

  • Will ole2.create_object work with Open Office Document?

    Dear All,
    Using ole2 package, we have already did a small application which will interact to Microsoft Excel. Now there is a business need to work with Sun's Open office document.
    We used to create a excel object like OLE2.CREATE_OBJ ('Excel.Application');
    Is there any other way of invoking/creating a open office spread sheet using ole2 package. Or any other way ?
    Regards,
    Balaji

    Dear Developer;
    Try this peace of code
    PROCEDURE exec_macro
    IS
    myapplication ole2.obj_type;
    mydocuments ole2.obj_type;
    mydocument ole2.obj_type;
    args ole2.list_type;
    Begin
    myapplication := ole2.create_obj ('Word.Application');
    ole2.set_property (myapplication, 'Visible', 0);
    mydocuments := ole2.get_obj_property (myapplication, 'Documents');
    args := ole2.create_arglist;
    ole2.add_arg (args, PC$FileName);
    mydocument := ole2.invoke_obj (mydocuments, 'Open', args);
    oe2.destroy_arglist (args);
    args := ole2.create_arglist;
    -- invoke the PrintPdf MSWorld macro
    ole2.add_arg (args, 'PrintPdf');
    ole2.invoke (myapplication, 'Run', args);
    ole2.destroy_arglist (args);
    ole2.invoke(myapplication,'Quit');
    ole2.Release_obj (mydocument);

    Hi Tony,
    Welcome to the forum.
    I haven't downloaded or installed it but, if my memory is still good and they haven't changed the menubar items from version 1.1, once you got the application fired up, from the menubar select File->New and then select the application you want from the New submenu; spreadheet, draw etc etc.

  • Safari with Open Office

    My PowerBook came with a pre-expired copy of MS Office so when I click on a Word file it launches Office but will not display the file. So I removed MS Office and installed Open Office 2.0 RC3. This is a pleasure to use, but Safari doesn't seem to know it's there and does not automatically open documents in Open Office. I click on the link and it downloads the file, then with download manager I can click on the file to open it and Open Office launches and displays the file.
    Is there anything I can do to get the automatic launching that MS Office has or is it something missing in Open Office?

  • Please help with opening old mac AE file on a pc

    Hi,
    With the latest version of AE on a pc I tried opening older mac version .aep file created I believe in 1999. I had very little hope so I wasn't surprised to see this message:
    "After Effects error: this file was created with an older version of After Effects [3.0 (Macintosh PPC)], and can’t be opened. You can convert this file using an older version of After Effect and resaving."
    It is not clear which version should be used, Pc or Mac, and if at the end that file could eventually be opened in thet latest AE on a pc.
    I will greatly appreciate any help with this.

    Thanks Mylenium
    Rebuilding is not an option. It is a lot of work and I need this as a portfolio item. I created a promotional interactive CD with Macromedia Director in 1999 for a sign company. I created 19 short animations for it with After Effects 3 using old PPC Mac.  I haven't used After effects since then but recently several new clients asked me if I can make animations from that nature. So, I'm trying to use my old work as a demonstration of my creative skills.  The problem is that the animations were rendered tiny with 309 x 228 pixels to fit in the interactive interface of the presentation intended for the small monitors used at that time. I took the animations from the interactive CD  and using the latest AE on a pc, I created a rough composition with running the animations one after another. To make the animations a bit larger I scaled most of them to 320 x 240 hoping it will look better.
    In my archives I have the project files and all .ai vector graphics used for the animations. I still have the old PPC Mac retired somewhere in the closets and installer CD with After Effects 3 and 4. I thought it would be great if I can somehow open the files in the latest version on a pc but if not I guess I have to take out that old mac are render to higher resolution using this ancient machine and AE version. And I'm wondering if all this is worth it.
    I will appreciate any tips, advices, things to be aware, etc, and how to make this looks better on YouTube.
    Oh, and another question by the way, I haven't been current to the animation software for a long time and wonder if this kind of presentational animations are best suited for creating with Flash or After Effects is still OK?
