similar to: microsoft powerpoint won't start on fedora 10.

Hello CentOS people, I'm wondering if there are command tools like antiword and docx2txt for Microsoft PowerPoint files (.ppt and .pptx). The idea is to extract text from PowerPoint files. Sorry this isn't exactly about CentOS, but I'd really like it if Yum has something. I tried xlhtml, but it hasn't been updated in a while and isn't exactly wanting to work on CentOS

Please allow me an unusual question. Is there any way that R can be closely integrated with a Microsoft Powerpoint presentation? I would like to embed R calculations in Powerpoint so that I will start Powerpoint, be prompted to enter some parameters, and an R function will run and return values and graphs. Thanks, John R 2.1.1 windows 2k John Sorkin M.D., Ph.D. Chief, Biostatistics and

Hi, I'm trying to write the PowerPoint2007 filter in the same manner that I did for *.docx and *.xlsx but I'm getting the following error when I tru an index. The document is called: Indexing "/Frisk in Power Point.pptx" as application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation ... caution: filename not matched: ppt/notesSlides/notesSlide*.xml caution:

Good Afternoon, I'm french so I hope you'll understand me quite clearly :) I'm using a Fedora 13 fresh install and I've installed Wine from repositories. My version of Wine is 1.3.5 and my kernel is 2.6.34.7-61 (I don't know if its important). I've installed Office from a legal iso that I've bought with the command : Code: $ wine /mnt/iso/SETUP.EXE Installation

Hi there, I have installed MS Office 2007 in wine 1.2.2 running in LinuxMint KDE 9, together with other softwares (including GraphPad Prism 4). After install, I set riched20.dll as native (windows), as stipulated here: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=4992 > Post Installation Instructions? > > Once installed, one override is necessary. Without it,

Now that netflix is in Australia, I wouldn't mind giving it a burl. It's working fine on my fedora-21 lappy with chrome-40 but not on our centos-6 mythtv setup even with chrome-41. I understand the difference might be the version of NSS - fedora-21 has 3.17 while centos is stuck at 3.16. Other than that, I'm flumoxed. Anyone got netflix running on centos-6? Cheers Bob

Hi all, I'm new to the list, so please be patient with me. Samba 2.0.7 is running on a compaq alpha server es40 with tru64 4.D. We got a problem with powerpoint files on a samba share. As soon as I open a powerpoint file on a samba share the modification time of the file changes, even if I'm not changing anything whithin the file. This only happens if I open *.ppt files which where

Hi everyone, I just wiped XP off my old Dell D610 and loaded Ubuntu 10.10... it runs like a brand new machine! (If if weren't for compatibility issues I would do the same to my netbook right away!) Anyway to test out Wine I installed IL-2 1946, patched up to 4.10m. With a little tweaking it is running like a dream, save one minor issues. Occasionally the program hiccups with what looks

Hi, I have 3 lists, x, y, z and I'd like to perform a calculation over all the lists simultaneously. If it were a single list I could use lapply, but for more than one list I'm using a for loop. Is there an idiom that would let me use something like lapply, but the function specified to lappy would have access to an element from each list? (In Python, I would have used for a,b,c in

Dear All, I am looking for the best way to use graphs from R (like xyplot, curve ...) for a presentation with powerpoint. I used to save my plot as pdf and after to copy them as image in powerpoint but the quality is not optimal by so doing. Another completely independent question is the following: when I use "main" in the xyplot, the main title is very close to my plot,

Hi, Is it possible to dump a series of plots directly into a powerpoint presentation (as is possible in Splus)? Thank you, Thomas [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Greetings, gentlemen. I'm trying to make videos play in PowerPoint 2007. I've installed Windows Media Player via winetricks. When I add video into PowerPoint, only sound plays. I tried to install K-Lite Codec pack. In WMP some videos were playing OK, however PowerPoint crashed during video insertion into presentation. When I removed K-Lite, PowerPoint crashes no more but again I can

Hi Everyone Samba 3.6.7 on OpenSuse 12.2 x86_64 I have an unusual problem for which I have not been able to find a solution on the Internet. With Powerpoint 2003, there was no issue. With Powerpoint 2007, the user cannot advance slides unless the file is saved locally on the client (Windows XP SP3, ntfs filesystem). When the file is loaded from the samba share, the user can edit and save

The spaces in the netbios name were the cause. Powerpoint 2007 worked as expected when the spaces were removed on a test setup. It also worked when a netbios alias was added to smb.conf. If I get the time, I will have to investigate why every other piece of software in the building, including Powerpoint 2003, didn't seem to mind spaces in the netbios name but Powerpoint 2007 did but only

HP ProBook 6460b. OpenSuse 11.4 - 64 KDE I installed and configure wine (as XP). It works Then I installed Office 2007 Pro. Strange results: Access and some other tools work fine. Word, Excel and Powerpoint open but stop before I can interact with the message: "MS Excel not installed for the current user. Execute installer program again." I tried to reinstall many times: some result!!

Yes: I have Tufte's monograph on my desk. (along with 4 statistics texts) Yes: I am not the biggest fan of PowerPoint. Yes: I am using R to generate charts, plots, trends, etc. I have to summarize them each week. When I consider how to organize this data my first thought is to generate an HTML file with links to the R-generated plots, which HTML file organizes the plots in the required

I am new to Linux. I am running Ubuntu 10.10. I used the wine (1.2.1) included with Ubuntu, to install Microsoft Office 2007. All of the office products (word, Powerpoint, etc.) show up on the Applications>Wine>Programs>Microsoft Office menu. Unfortunately, not a single one will work. Every product results in the same error message, which indicates that the product has encountered a

I've tried several methods in OS X, and here's what works best for me. Save the R graphic as a PDF file. Open it with Apple's "Preview" application, and save it as a PNG file. The resulting .png file can be inserted into MS Word or PowerPoint, can be resized, and looks good on either OS X or Windows. There are other programs available for translating the pdf file to png

Una sugerencia: los gráficos para powerpoint yo los guardo con formato "windows metafile". Eso permite hacer doble click en el gráfico en el propio powerpoint, te preguntará si quieres importar/editar la figura, le dices que sí, y a continuación "desagrupas" dos veces las formas del gráfico. Esto te permite editar cada elemento del gráfico individualmente, p.e. cambiar

Hi, I'm trying to run MS-Office under wine. As lang as I'm running the applications from ${HOME}/.wine everything is working to my liking. But when I try to put the .wine-directory to an other place I get problems with Powerpoint. I tested a lot to get Word and Excel running when installed in a read-only directory. I used some symbolic links to place files and directories, which need to
