I am unable to save a document in the Word Processor and I am running
Ubuntu 7.10 and Oo 2.3. I am presently using Abi Word instead but
really would like to get the Open Office back up and running.

It would help if we knew what happened when you try to save.

Does this happen with newly created documents as well as docs that are sent as
attachments? What about doc vs odf files? In my case, OO opens doc
attachments as Read Only and the only way to work with them is to save from
e-mail to disk and then open from w/ in OO. The one odf attachment I
received opened fine.

I'm sorry.* It crashes and that is all it tells me.

I wanted a function OO that I could not find.

I wanted to do a word count of everything that was styled a particular
way (Academic essay word count excluding quotes and heading to be
precise)

In MS Word it would be easy (Select all of this style, Count selected)

But I couldn't find "Select all this style" in OO

So I though - ooh a macro maybe. So I went tot the OO site to get some
documentation - and got lost.

Does anyone know a good starting place with this - preferably using
Javascript as it is a language I know. I just need a neatly organise
object/function library documantation for the OO interface.

I just failed to find anything over at OO and though soemone here might
just know.

Chris.

Its a bit clunky and quick and dirty, but you could save a copy of the
file in plain text, open up a term, and then "wc -w 'filename'".

From Brian Barker on the OOo mailing list:

o Go to Edit | Find & Replace... (or Ctrl+F).
o Click More Options.
o Tick "Search for Styles".
o Select your required style in the "Search for" box. (Don't worry
about what appears in the "Replace with" box.)
o Click Find All. Everything in that style is now selected. (You
can close the Find & Replace dialogue at this point - or not, as you
wish.)
o Go to Tools | Word Count. One part of this display is for the
current selection.

http://www.openoffice.org/mail_list.html
users@openoffice.org - to use usenet (Gmane) see the link under
"Newsgroup". When posting on the list, please be sure to identify that
you are using the Ubuntu'ized version of OOo as there are quite a few
differences between (U)OOo and standard OOo.
