How do I install the SuSE CD staroffice 6 (intended for SuSE 8.0) on my system with SuSE 8.1? I thought I saved the message detailing this, but now I want to do it, I can't find it anymore. -- Frits Wüthrich
You do it as if you were installing on 8.0 :) It works just fine. Just cd into the linux directory and run the setup file. I have both OpenOffice 1.0.1 (GCC 3.2 compile) and StarOffice 6.0 on my machine at home and they both work quite nicely. * Frits Wüthrich (frits@wuthrich.cc) [021007 15:32]: ::How do I install the SuSE CD staroffice 6 (intended for SuSE 8.0) on my system ::with SuSE 8.1? :: ::I thought I saved the message detailing this, but now I want to do it, I can't ::find it anymore. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe..

Thanks. I seem to remember an email on this list stating the steps to make this work, as you couldn't do it as simple as you described. Youre way is a lot easier. I do assume you have the SuSE CD with Star Office 6.0, not the one from Sun with the Windows and Mac version as well? On Monday 07 October 2002 11:34 pm, Ben Rosenberg wrote:

It's the same stuff. The SuSE cd just has the linux directory on it while the Sun CD has all of the directories on it. They don't interact with each other so it shouldn't be any different. :) * Frits Wüthrich (frits@wuthrich.cc) [021007 15:59]: ::Thanks.

Is this for real? I thought the SuSE CD just had RPMs or something like that. Does it actually have a binary install command that you can run without RPM installed? Reason I ask is because I thought about installing this on my FreeBSD partition at one point. Preston

Well, this is what I thought it was. I don't have a clue if it will work with FreeBSD or not. If you contact me off list I'll send you a script which unpacks RPM's...so if it does work on FreeBSD that should work. It's a simple perl script. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe.. I tell you what you should see.
I just ran YOU, and guess what? One of the options is: Install Pro-office CD through YOU. So that is what I did, it downloads a small file, and then installs from the CD. On Tuesday 08 October 2002 1:02 am, Preston Crawford wrote:

Hi, Ben :) ~ please, can you tell me, perhaps :- In Star Office, if one has open several spreadsheets, there are Ikons at bottom of screen, showing spreadsheets loaded, and allowing one to 'flip' between sheets. In Open Office, there are No Ikons at bottom of screen ~ Is it possible to 'switch' them on, to have this useful feature ? thanks -- best wishes, richard ____________ sent on Linux ____________

Your asking the wrong person. *laugh* I do very, very simple spreadsheets. I have no idea. I spend most of my time in the wp part of SO...and even then my word processing skills could be discribed as minimal. I mainly clean up things I write in vi. :) Sorry. :( -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe.. I tell you what you should see.
Hi,
In Star Office, if one has open several spreadsheets, there are Ikons at bottom of screen, showing spreadsheets loaded, and allowing one to 'flip' between sheets.
In Open Office, there are No Ikons at bottom of screen ~ Is it possible to 'switch' them on, to have this useful feature ?
Are you comparing Star Office 5.2 to Open Office? If so I'm afraid you're out of luck. The 'integrated desktop' of SO5.2 has been killed off in Ooo and SO6.0 - people didn't like it. Now each document, whether it be a write, calc or something else document all open in their own separate windows. You have to use the 'running apps' tray (or whatever its called) that is built into many Window Managers. You can still switch between two open spreadsheets easily using <alt>+<tab> (in KDE, don't use anything else). Hope this helps. Jethro

They are enabled somewhere in SO 6.0 by default but not in OO. And I'm to much of an office productivity goon to know. ;) -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe.. I tell you what you should see.

Really? I'm sure that I didn't enable them when I installed Ooo and it works for me. Anyway if you want to add more sheets one just simply right clicks on the sheet tab at the bottom left hand part of the application screen and you get a menu from which you can add further sheets. Hope this info is useless for someone. Jethro
