I had a corrupted installation of OpenOffice.org 3.1. When I used "yum remove openoffice.org-core" the response was "package openoffice.org-core available but not installed", but then, when I used "yum install openoffice.org-core there was a long list of Transaction Check Errors. I then removed openoffice.org3.1-redhat-menus-noarch which was in the errors. Here's the

1. I have used gdata::read.xls() with much happiness. But every now and then it breaks. I have not, as yet, been able to construct a mental model about the class of .xls files for which it works. Does someone have a simple rule for predicting the circumstances under which it will work? 2. Just like there is a read.xls(), it'd be great if we have a read.ods() which directly

Hi R users: I am using RODBC to create some new ".xls" files each with several sheets (about 100) with sqlSave() from a data.frame inside R without any problem, but on windows XP platform. I would like to know if it is posible to make a similar solution on linux with openoffice? RODBC work only (for the moment) with ".xls" on windows, via the ODBC driver. Is it posible to

Dear list, since I have upgraded openOffice to version 3.2 I have some trouble to open very simple ODT files generated by odfweave: the file is apparently corrupted (but recovery is fine). I have observed this under windows and mac OS 10.4.11 with R 2.10.0, odfWeave_0.7.11, XML_2.6-0, lattice_0.17-26. However, I found nothing similar by RSiteSearching so that I'm suspecting a localization

Dear list, dear Max, I a currently working on a report. I'm writing it with OpenOffice.org and odfWeave. I'm working increentally : I write a bit, test (interactively) some ideas, cutting-and-pasting code to the Ooo report when satisfied with it. I the process, I tend to recompile the .odt source a *lot*. Suddenly, odfWeave started to give me an incomprehensible error even before

When I list a directory within the linux OS, appears like this: ... -rwxr--r--. 1 root pgt.cxt 7,2K Nov 25 14:33 New Text OpenDocument.odt ...

[Sending both to the maintainer and to R-help, in case anyone else has answers ...] I've looked in odfWeave documentation, vignette, and poked around on the web some, and haven't found answers yet. 1a. am I right in believing that odfWeave does not respect the 'keep.source' option? Am I missing something obvious? 1b. is there a way to set global options analogous to

Hello R masters, I have sent this same message to other lists and none so far could give some light. I was trying to use odfWeave to generate a report from R and Im getting an error that I think is related to latin characters. I looked around and did find some stuff related to this problem about Sweave http://labmoluscos.wordpress.com/2010/02/18/sweave-latex-character-encoding/ but did not find a

Using R2.12.1 on Ubuntu 10.04.1 I've tried to run the following code chunk in odfWeave <<fig1, echo=TRUE,fig=TRUE,width=7,height=4>>= x<-seq(1:100)/10 y<-sin(cos(x/pi)) imageDefs <- getImageDefs() imageDefs$dispWidth <- 4.5 imageDefs$dispHeight<- 4.5 setImageDefs(imageDefs) X11(type="cairo") plot(x,y) title(main="sin(cos(x/pi))")

Dear Weavers, Does someone have an example of using eps or any other vector graphics with odfWeave? It tried the example below (and commented variants) with simple.odt in the examples directory, and got an error. Dieter #--- library(odfWeave) plotInfo <- getImageDefs() plotInfo$type = "eps" #plotInfo$device = "postscript" setImageDefs(plotInfo)

Hi all, Thunderbird has an option to detach attachments from (for example) sent items. I've tried it, and it does not work, and also in the dovecot logs I don't see anything interesting meanwhile. Before looking deeper into this: Does anyone here know if this option is known to work, or not? We're running dovecot 2.1.7 on debian wheezy. Removing unwanted attachments is a nice

Hello I tried the odfWeave package today, by running the formatting.odt and example.odt files that are included with the package. They both ran fine, but when I try to open them in my OpenOffice (OpenOffice 3.1.1 on Kubuntu 9.10) I get an error "Format error discovered in the file in sub-document content.xml at 1293,124(row,col)." I also tried to open them in MS Word 2003 (Windows

I have a recently (last Friday) updated CentOS 4.5 desktop running OOo 2.2 that, since this morning, displays OpenOffice .odt files as application:x-java-archives and has replaced the open office icon on my desktop with the java icon for these files. I have looked in both: /usr/share/mime-info/gnome-vfs.mime and /usr/share/mime-info/file-roller.mime And cannot see any reference to OpenOffice

Hi Apologies in advance if I've missed something obvious. I have read the Sweave manual, the first article in R News, looked at the Help pages, googled Sweave and words like loop, output, files, multiple, done much the same on R site search (in case I missed something on Google) and I couldn't find exactly what I'm after. What I'm trying to do ?---------------------- Make

Is there a Viewer for .docx M$ WORD files? If so, where can I get it? This file type cannot be opened with OpenOffice.org 2.3. TIA!

I wrote myself a script to convert Open Document files to Markdown. Being able to do "odt2txt.py mydoc.odt | less" is the main motivation, but it also works for doing command line conversion of odt to html by combining odt2txt with any of the Markdown implementations. If anyone uses OpenOffice and wants to check it out: http://www.freewisdom.org/projects/python-markdown/odt2txt.php

Dear all, I have a question regarding the odfweave. I created an odt file (test_input.odt) using OO.o for WIndows XP. The code is generic. ---- Code for odt ----------- \Sexpr{dim(iris)[1]} <<listofSpecies, echo=FALSE, results=xml>>= odfItemize(levels(iris$Species)) @ Table 1: <<Table, echo=FALSE, results=xml>>= data.frame(N =tapply(iris$Petal.Length, iris$Species,

Hello All, Have recently started learning Sweave and Knitr. Am now trying to learn odfWeave as well. Things went pretty smoothly with Sweave and Knitr but I'm having some trouble with odfWeave. My understanding was that odfWeave should work in pretty much the same way as Sweave. With odfWeave, you set up an input .odt file in a folder, run that file through the odfWeave function, and then

Dear all, I am doing my first steps with odfWeave. After running the r code (see below), I am trying to open the ODF-document with open office, but I am getting the error message: "The file is damaged, but it can be repaired". If I confirm the question and repair the file with open office, I can open it with the desired output, which seems to be fine. My system: R Version 2.9.1
