This relates to a problem in OOo Calc in the OOo provided by SuSE. I sent out a plea for help several weeks ago on a matter like this and received no help of consequence -- simply a suggestion that I save the spreadsheet as an excel spreadsheet and then work with that one. No. Is there a difference between the OOo and th4e SuSE versions of OpenOffice Calc? I am using the SUSE version under 10.3 and find it impossible to do a search of a spreadsheet using arrow keys or a mouse without the damned thing exiting on me, and telling me that the spreadsheet must be reconstituted. Then, when I'm done with the spreadsheet, I get another notice that some fixing must be done and I get a blank text page. I wonder it it would not be better to simply download the latest OpenOffice.org for Linux and try that. -- Best regards, Dennis J.

Strange. I wouldn't image the SUSE version has much to do with it, but
it could. I can't reproduce that problem here, so I'm not sure...

Yes there are differences, but generally nothing fundamental like UI
changes and generally the changes eventually get upstream (the OO
upstreaming process tends to be slow). The best thing as always is to
file a bug and instructions on how to reproduce (if you can try with a
stock OO, great).

SUSE has put in a lot of time and money making changes as I understand it. One item important to me is that music now plays in Impress when included on a powerpoint slide. With the release of 10.3 this is a first and I am quite appreciative of the team that did this work.

Indeed, you can see a lot of the cool stuff at http://go-oo.org/ and follow the whole world of OO at http://planet.go-oo.org/ (not just Novell, but Sun and others too).

i just tried that on a powerpoint presentation and the only thing i saw was a speaker icon on the upper left corner. this is on 64 bit 10.3, oo build 2.3.0.1.3, installed thru yast all the way. of course the music plays absolutely fine in windoze. any ideas on what might be the culprit? thanks, d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Of course it plays fine on linux too. Perhaps your issues are due to running the 64-bit version? A lot of desktop apps don't work so well on the 64-bit linux platform. Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I have the same setup as you and all the powerpoint files with continuous music/audio that I have (~100) all play perfectly. Assuming that the presentation is not confidential and you would like me to to test, you could email it to me off-list. Maybe it would help to identify the problem. Dave

Routinely download and install the most-up-to-date version of OpenOffice.org, and it doesn't break anything. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I downloaded and installed the latest OpenOffice.org and changed the necessary file-associations. The problem has gone away. There was something in the SuSE-installed OOo that caused the program to exit when I did a lot of scrolling on the spreadsheet. -- Best regards, Dennis J.
