OpenOffice Portable

You forget to distribute 4.1.6.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking has Select-and-Say functionality on the installed version (in Writer at least), but not the portable version. Would it possible to do this for this portable version as well? Not having this functionality is a huge hurdle for people who rely on Dragon to dictate text or operate their computer. Apparently it has something to do with window classes.

Please post a reply if you feel you need an explanation for the disappearing text.

This was not a "Portable Apps" issue. It turns out to have been a customisation (Event driven) issue which I'd already encountered and solved in the existing system.

Apologies for any disturbances!

PortableOpenOffice installed as:
D:\PortableApps\aOO-4.1.5\App\openoffice\program
PortableJava installed too where recommended.

When running D:\PortableApps\aOO-4.1.5\App\openoffice\program\python.exe interpreter, OpenOffice Python modules can't be imported e.g.
>>> import officehelper # is failing

Reason: " D:\PortableApps\aOO-4.1.5\App\openoffice\program " should be part of sys.path by default :
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path

Any idea of online sites I can do this

Hi,

I just downloaded Apache OpenOffice Portable 4.1.4 - the "Standard" version. There are many languages included in that version. I only need English. Is it possible to remove the other languages? If so how do I do that? I'm really looking to reduce the size of disk space used for AOO Portable.

Hello,

My requirement is to view office documents from a website. For this, I downloaded apache open office application locally and tested some of its functionalities.

Can i host this application on server and use it for viewing office files on website?

Please let me know your opinion.

Regards,
Sukrut Gadre.

The file at the this path: OpenOfficePortable\Data\fonts\add_fonts_here.txt

If you read that file it mentions LibreOffice all the time, there is no mention of OpenOffice at all. Given that for the time being a separate font pack has to be downloaded and 'installed' by the users if they want all the fonts some (new) users of OpenOffice might be confused by the references to LibreOffice in that text file.

Needs to be changed.

I'm trying to update to 4.1.3, but keep getting this error:

Dowload Error: Reget Error on file https://downloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/OpenOfficePortable_4.1.3_...

It happens right at the very end of the download. I'm using the PortableApps Updater. I've tried is several times now, and get the same error each time.

Ran across a security vulnerability in Apache OpenOffice while browsing at Teleread, http://teleread.com/chris-meadows/openoffice-security-hole-prompts-recom... . A quick search here didn't find any reference to this. The subject file is still in the PAc version of AOO.
