OpenOffice Portable

Hello,

I have problem to print my file as a brochure. I have printer, that prints on both sides, but when I click "print brochure" and have my page set up as a landscape, only half of the page is printed.

It means, that the whole text is printed out in correct direction, but the whole text is fitted only on the upper side of the page.

The same happens when I have my page oriented as a portrait - then it is even worse - two pages are printed on one sheet of paper, leaving three quarters of the page blank.

My portable copy of 2.3.1 is offering to update to 2.4. If I allow it to do so, will the installation still be portable? Or do I need to wait for a version to appear here?

Thunderbird and Firefox appear to be able to update without losing portability but I haven't tried it with anything else.

Hey I am wondering if there is any way to make cause files on the flash drive to be automatically opened by openoffice portable?
Here is what I mean,
If I create a calc file with openoffice then save the file to my flash drive,
Then take my flash drive to another computer, is there a way to make the computer automatically open the file with openoffice portable if the computer does not have openoffice?

Hopefully that makes sense, if it doesn't I can try to explain better.

could someone make the new Openoffice 2.4 portable please...thanks in advance.

Is there a way to have fewer Menu Icons in my PortableApps menu for Open Office. I love the Portable apps suite. I came from using u3 and in u3 Open Office only shows as 1 Icon, so I know its possible but after poking around a bunch and searching I can find nothing describing how to do it. I have a LOT of portable apps on my thumb drive and need to clean it up. I would even be happy with a sub-menu.

Any help would be appreciated

Hi,
I only use openoffice write application! So all I wanna say is anybody working towards the lite version of openoffice? I mean if I use WRITE it shouldn't be more than 60-70MB (just like photoshop portable versions where 400+ files are compressed into 60MB flat!)
I am sure individual packs of openoffice would help it grow more! What do you think?

I understand AbiWord is good word processor but I was just wondering if you have the OOo suite is there a use for AbiWord and if so what for?

I'm finding that when I try to dismount my flash stick, even though I have quit all of the applications and PAM, I cannot dismount, and the reason is that OpenOffice is still running in the background. I only know that because I run Task Manager. From TM I kill OOo, and then I can dismount.

Am I doing something wrong?

I am using OpenOfficePorable on a DVD with some documents. I have found and looked at the OpenOfficePortable.ini file that I downloaded from the Support page. I understand that the ini file is to be set to "RunDataLocally=true" so that OpenOfficePortable can run on a CD or DVD. Here's the problem, I need the "Open" button to go, by default to the "Documents" folder on the DVD. Here is what I have done to set up the DVD:
1. I built OpenOffice on a fresh flash drive with SmithTechPortable as the menu application.

I'm having issues not being able to startup OpenOffice Portable 2.3.1r2.

I get the splash screen but then nothing. I can see it start in task manager (WinXP SP2), but it just terminates after 3-4 seconds. I've tried reinstalling it twice as well as upgrading to the PortableApps Platform 1.1b4 and still no luck.

Are there any logs or ways for me to garner more info? All my other portable apps work just fine. It's only OOP that is giving me fits.
