Hi guys, I've been noticing more and more that antiword has trouble with many word documents. It may look like it's converted a document but leaves out headings and bits of text. I've been looking into getting openoffice to do it in headless mode but still have a way to go before it's stable. I was wondering if anyone else had any luck on this front? One quick fix I have found

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

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

I am trying to use R2HTML (just downloaded from CRAN) to paste R (2.6.0) results output via the clipboard to OpenOffice Writer and Calc (version 2.3on WinXPPro) Pasting into Excel gives a formatted table of results (as expected), but pasting into Calc simply pastes the HTML code. Trying paste special only gives an option to paste unformatted text. Equally, with Writer, in the past when I tried

DeaR list, Has anyone tried to mix the Sweave paradigm with the Markdown[*] (and co.) syntax? Would this be hard to implement? My tiny understanding of Sweave is that one can define new drivers for the text part, while some functions that deal with the R code would not require any modification. Here's the reason I'm interested in Mardown for a driver. I've been orbiting

Since rpm from openoffice.org was not nicely integrate with Centos, what is the best way to make OO uptodate, can i use (or depend on) package from fedora (it slightly outdate but not too far from OO release). Having see the huge spec file (around 3700 lines), building it ourself is really not fun :( --beast

Dear all I'd like to give RExcel a decent spin, mainly to take advantage of Excel's data management facilities and automatic recalculations. However I cannot use this Windows-only solution on the platform of my choice, Linux. Alternatively I've been considering the cross-platform ROOo, the OpenOffice equivalent of RExcel, but in this case the problem is that the only release available

Hi, I'm using samba for a while and now, on my linux computer, I need to install OpenOffice. OpenOffice is working fine with local account but failed to install with samba user. I've detected that for exemple if my domain is "TEST" and my user is "BOB", Samba create a home folder /home/bob. And when I try to install OpenOffie for this user, the installer try to

Dear members of the R Development Team, I am looking for people with a deep understanding of R internals to assist in bridging R to OpenOffice. While R is a state of the art statistical environment, less experienced users often find it difficult to work with R. Therefore, I believe that a bridge between R and a spreadsheet program will make this transition less painful. I sincerely believe

The last few releases of OpenOffice have gotten very unstable on my desktop which is a CentOS 5.5 i386 system. After multiple crashes when doing embedded simple drawings in OpenOffice writer (circles and lines with connections), I started using the versions from Sun then Oracle. I am now using version 3.3: openooffice.org3-3.3.0-9567. I've lived with this but with version 3.x it has gotten

Hello list, If there are any professional consultants reading this list, I would be able to to get my company to pay for a solution to this problem.

Hi, I have been a happy user of R for windows for more than a year, however, recently, I started using linux as my operating system and now I have practically switched completely. Of course, I still use R with linux, however, certain nice features of R in windows seem to be missing or hidden. I need help in basically two points: 1. In windows, I could copy the contents of a window graphic's

Hi. First of all, I will probably post this question several places, at least here, on the ubuntu forums, and perhaps OpenOffice forums. It is a problem that I'm not sure if really is samba related, Openoffice related or perhaps even OS related. As stated in the heading, it's about file locking, so many apps come into play. I work at a school where we teachers use mainly Ubuntu Hardy and

Hi, I have installed OpenOffice 3.1 downloaded from the openoffice.org website on CentOS 5.4 x86_64. The downloaded file is actually an archive containing RPMs. I did not use their setup tool but installed directly the RPMs I was interested in via 'yum localinstall' (my idea is in the future to put them on a custom yum repository, so that they can be managed via regular yum install /

postscript() produces files that are not encoded as eps, according to the standard. Hence, word processors such as OpenOffice and AbiWord do not recognise the files as eps. See http://www.postscript.org/FAQs/language/node80.html The problem is in the first line of the postscript file: The header is wrong. It should be: %!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0 whereas postscript() produces: %!PS-Adobe-3.0 The
