OpenOffice Portable

I was really tempted to make this post a couple days ago, when I really had to get my feet wet with OpenOffice. Used to be, I had MS Office XP on my computer, and OpenOffice was like the "backup". Well, I've decided to make a clean break from MS Office. I almost reinstalled it for my experience with Word and Excel, but I made it work, all the while wanting to say some very unkind words to the developers. But, I cooled off, and would still like to raise some issues I had, in a more civilized manner:

When i tried to run OpenOfficePortable3.1 on Windows2003stdR2 with terminal server, the first user can do everything he need - open documents, edit, save and close them. When second user trying to start OpenOfficePortable (first user is still opened OO) - he receiving error message (OO cannot find settings or OO recommend to recover file, which is opened by first user).

Hi*,

I want to change the splash screen, which shows when you start te program.

Replacing intro.bmp in the folder /app/program does not help.
(nor any other .bmp/jpg/png that I find in the installation)

Could this be because it is in a customized version of OOoPortable?
Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Hello:
ALL.I am a flesh man of the site.Can anyone tell me the place of "openoffice portable"-source code?
Thank you very much!

Best wishes!

This might have been answered elsewhere, but I couldn't find an answer.

If portable apps keeps all information on the portable drive then why do documents that I open in Open Office Writer appear in the recent documents section when I hit "start" and "documents?"

Is it supposed to leave this info on the computer I'm using?

I've set my default and header font settings a few times from the default Times New Roman to Verdana, and each time, Writer forgets my settings when I open it on another computer. I haven't found any documentation on this.

update: I saved my settings from computer to computer by going to Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice.org Writer and -> Basic Fonts (Western) and just making them all Verdana and decreasing their size by one since Verdana is roughly about a size bigger than most other common fonts such as Times New Roman and especially Arial.

According to Secunia PSI (Personal Software Inspector), version 3.1.9398.500 of soffice.exe, included with the current version 3-1 portable app, is not secure. They link to a secure version with a download file name of OOo_3.1.1_Win32Intel_install_wJRE_en-US.

I am using the command line to convert word docs to pdf using the PDFConversion module. I am able to convert word 2003 documents fine. For Word 2003 I use the function ConvertWordToPDF. I was wondering if anyone knows how to convert word 2007 docs to pdf. I am assuming I just need to change the function ConvertWordToPDF to an updated one for word 2007? I am using the latest version: OpenOfficePortable_3.1.0_English.paf.exe. I tried it out with the new version and it doesn't work. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Does anyone one know why why Freeze and Split don't work FOR COLUMNS in OpenOffice.org Calc?
