[opensuse] Enabling macro's in OpenOffice.Org
Hi, I want to enable macro's in OpenOffice.org 3.0.0.9, stock version of OS 11.1. If I click Extra on the menu-bar, and then Options on the list, OOo just hangs. I have to kill it before I can try to restart it. I re-installed 3.0.0.9 with the same effect : hanging OOo when trying to set the options. I moved directory .ooo3 to have a new one created, which does not help. B.T.W. I tried to install a newer version of OOo, but Yast doesn't seem to have one although there are plenty of packages from OOo 3.2.0.7, just not the "main" packages. I do have the OOo repository in my configuration, with a "lower" priority (i.e. 98) than the OS 11.1 repositories. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Ideas: In tools/options, first section, java, and make sure it finds java. Same section, entry "view", deactivate "use hardware acceleration" and restart OOo.

Instead, you can try with a new user.

Do you have the OOo stable repo? Install one from there, if you can. They have version 3.2.0.7, I see. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Does not work because I don't get that far. When I click Extra, the menu drops down. Then clicking Options does nothing, like I explained. But, ... when I first tried today it was the first time I started OOo. I could go to the options ! I thought I went mad. I created another user, tried the same things with OOo which worked. Then I tried again as my normal account, and there it was again, hanging after the selection of Options. I just rebooted and OOo hangs at the options. I tried the other user, which has no problems.
Same section, entry "view", deactivate "use hardware acceleration" and restart OOo.
I'll try that when I can. I didn't do it when the options worked :-(

This user has no problems with OOo.

I have this as a YUM-repository : http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/OpenOffice.org:/STABLE/openSUSE_11... I added this via the community repositories.

Maybe I should just upgrade to OS 11.2. Thanks for your help. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
