How do I get Openoffice to integrate into Gnome like KDE

Just installed gnome and all its goodies and I'm taking some time to learn it as I've always been a KDE fanboy... but felt that KDE was way too bloated....
Anyways... I removed and reran setup thinking that since gnome wasn't installed before that that was why it wasn't showing up in the gnome applications menu...
Alas no such luck... a new session or a reboot doesn't fix the problem either. 
I'll be damned if i'm going to make launcher's by hand for every Openoffice file as well as manually set up file associations.  Is the package broken? Or am I doing something wrong with Gnome?
Thanks in advance for any replies!
James

The open office installer is supposed to have a gnome integration setting... just like the KDE one.   Basically I just want it to add to the gnome menu and set up the file associations...
I see there no package for the Ximian or I just don't know where to find it... I'll go search the forum (i'm not trying to be lazy here...     )
Thanks for the reply...

  • How do you get Openoffice to look more Gnome-like?

    When you install OOo (version 2.2.1-3), some of the output in the termial says
    use "export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=kde" or
    use "export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome" to preset your desired look,
    or put it in /etc/profile, rc.local, or ~/.bashrc.
    I have tried copying the line "export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome" (without quotes) to my /etc/profile. Nothing changed, still looks like stock OOo.
    Then tried to open soffice using info from the wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenOffice#Setup
    # OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome soffice
    Again, no change. When soffice opens, it is the stock OOo appearance.
    Tried adding "export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome" (no quotes) into~.bashrc as noted in the wiki. Did not work, still stock OOo appearance.
    Searching the our forums, Google, and the Arch wiki has yet to give me a clue. Looked at the 2.2.1-3 PKGBUILD, GTK  switch is set to 'enable'.
    I tried Abiword, it looks (as it should) Gnome-like. I would use but it is giving me problems with envelopes that the Abiword mail list has yet to be able to help. I know you can get OOo to look Gnome-like, you can see it in this screen shot:

    I might be wrong but I believe you want export OOO FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome...NOT OOO_FORCE_DES... (remove the '_' between OOO and FORCE.) Thats what I have and looks fine to me.

  • My iTunes downloads were made using my old gmail address.  I had to quit using this email address as it got hacked.  I created a new gmail account.  How can I get my iTunes downloads into the new gmail account?

    My iTunes downloads were made using my old gmail address.  I had to quit using this address  as it got hacked.  How do I get my iTunes downloads into my new iTunes account that was created with a new gmail address?  In my old iTunes account (with the old gmail address,  I can't 'update' my email address or even 'add an alternate address' as I had already created this gmail account and inputting the new address into iTunes gives me the 'pop-up' that 'this account is already in use.'   Advice please!

    Good luck. It took me weeks to fix this when I had to do it. Your old ID branches out in lots of places. You may have to delete app and get them again, at least that is what Apple told me. Plus, all of your settings on your iPad that required any ID, will have to be changed. My old ID kept showing up in different places for weeks. Changing it on Apple.com is just the beginning.

  • How do I get my tabs back into the main window?

    I've had a problem with an add-on displaying a small extra window every time I open a session for some months now: I know you're supposed to try disabling and re-enabling every add-on you've got to find out which one is responsible, but this is a work computer and with all the add-ons I have, it would take too long, so I've just closed the extra window every time and got on with my work. However, for some reason today my forty-odd tabs have all opened in the small extra window, which has no tab bar, navigation bar or menu button. How do I get my tabs back into the main window of Firefox, or alternatively get that window to behave like a normal Firefox window so I can use it?

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • How do i get icloud contacts back into Outlook contacts?  My outlook contacts got wiped off in a pst export.

    How do i get icloud contacts back into Outlook contacts?  My outlook contacts got wiped off in a pst export.
    I think i want to tell icloud to sync with Outlook and make icloud the controlling account.  NOT outlook to iclout.  there are 6325 contacts in icloud.  only 12 in outlook.  about 10 days ago i had same amount in OL and icloud.  i had to restore my computer PC.  My iphone is correct.  My PC/ Outlook i not. thanks for any help.

    Hello Otienogo,
    Try the below steps on your iPhone,
    Go to settings>iCloud and Login with your Apple Id.
    Contacts should be on, click on it to turn it off and choose keep (even if it shows you no contacts)
    When the process is done go ahead and turn on contacts again, choose merge.  All your contacts should show up if you had a previous backup to icloud.
    Hope this helps you.

  • How can I get my materials back into EBP 5.5?

    I have executed an initial replication of a single material into a clean EBP 5.5 (SRM 5.0) , i.e. no product master has ever existed
    After changing MATERIAL filters in R3AC1 and afterwards replicating using R3AS I managed to get more materials into the EBP 5.5 but found out that my filter settings had to be changed. So i deleted all product master (COM_PRODUCT_DELETE_ALL) succesfully changed my filter and ran R3AS but no materials was replicated... I have checked SMQ1 and SMQ2 which were empty. I have even tried to go back to the starting point of replicating just the one material and still no luck (even synchronized filter with R/3). I have gone through a number of notes. I have gone into SMWP and there are some red lights but e.g. 'Adapter Status Information' and 'System Settings' looks fine.
    How can I get my materials back into EBP 5.5? Is it a problem of changing filters and doing intial replications continuosly?
    While writing the above I have just now created a new material in ECC 6.0 and set up the filter to replicate just this new material and it was succesfully replicated to EBP 5.5 with product master! I guess something has to be cleaned up before I can get my materials back into EBP 5.5??? How???

    I managed to replicate all my materials with the broad range filter definition after working my way through all the errors in SMW01. However, I still don't understand why I couldn't make an initial replication of a single material (previously deleted)... anyway it is working now
    Thanks for all the help!

  • How do I get my iphoto videos into imovie

    how do I get my iphoto video into imovie

    1- on iphoto menu bar click FILE >> EXPORT and export it in ORIGINAL version to NEW EVENTS folder in MOVIES >> IMOVIE EVENTS >> NEW EVENTS
    2- try to open the video you want with quicktime player.
    IF IT OPENS WITH QUICKTIME PLAYER:
    - on imovie menu bar click FILE >> IMPORT and then import your movie. iMovie should convert it to a usable format which takes a few seconds and the your video will appear on the new event folder on the imovie screen (below "iphoto videos")
    IF IT DOES NOT OPEN WITH QUICKTIME PLAYER:
    - download "MPEG streamclip" or "Handbrake" or any program to convert videos into mov. (i think that's the format quicktime player plays). Anyway, if you use MPEG STREAMCLIP, on the menu bar go FILE >> OPEN FILES >> open the file you want (remember it should be in the "new events" folder because you just put it there in step 1). The video will open on the screen.
    - still on MPEG streamclip, go on the menu bar and click FILE >> EXPORT TO QUICKTIME. This will convert the video automatically.
    - go back to imovie. On the menu bar click FILE >> IMPORT >> MOVIES and select your video from the new event folder.
    This is what worked for me... I am no expert, it was all trial and error, but it worked in the end!

  • How to get a string "yyyyMMdd" into date like MM/dd/yyyy?.

    Hi
    How to get a string "yyyyMMdd" into date like MM/dd/yyyy?. i have used
    SimpleDateFormat.parse but it is giving long value. i want to disply the date
    like MM/dd/yyyy
    thank you

    Do you want the string rearranged or do you want to create an instance of some form of Date class?
    If you want to rearrange the string you could just do it yourself provided you know the date string is going to be of the format yyyyMMdd.
    something like this:
    String newDate = origStr.charAt(4) + origStr.charAt(5) + "/" + origStr.charAt(6) + origStr.charAt(7) + "/" ...etc.
