Macro Save to Relative Path

Submitted by farmer on December 17, 2006 - 6:16pm

I am new to OpenOffice and OOMacros.

I am trying to save a file to a relative path on my thumb drive.

The Macro I recorded works fine and saves as designed (saves as same file name in both html and odt formats)but I must have the drive letter "H:/" for it to save correctly.

Macro snippet:
rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------
dim args1(2) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
args1(0).Name = "URL"
args1(0).Value = "file:///H:/OpenOfficePortable/Data/ER/test.odt"
args1(1).Name = "FilterName"
args1(1).Value = "writer8"
args1(2).Name = "SelectionOnly"

ThunderbirdPortable addressbook in OpenOffice

Submitted by tedre on December 16, 2006 - 5:18pm

Hi,

I want to write a letter to many people in my Thunderbird addressbook. I use Thunderbird Portable. When I call the Thunderbird addressbook with OO-Base it integrets the addressbook from a profil from the maschine where I actually work. I want OpenOffice to ask me where the addressbook is located I want to integred. It ist located on my portable hard drive.

If I try it on a computer without Thunderbird, OO say there isn't a Thunderbird addressbook. But it is on my hard drive.

Thanks for your help.

Macro problem in OOP spreadsheet

Submitted by AndySmith on December 9, 2006 - 10:30am

I've imported a number of Excel spreadsheets into OOP and find they work well, with one exception. My combo-boxes and radio buttons show through cell comments (notes in OOP). It's as if the macros are always on top.

I've tried different formating of both cells and macro buttons, but I can't seem to bring cell comments to the foreground. Any ideas?

launch from U3

Submitted by BonnSotto on December 9, 2006 - 3:54am

I just downloaded the openoffice suite. It's a great program even though I've used it for only a little bit. The thumbdrive I'm using has a U3 launcher. Can I directly access the openoffice programs from the U3 launcher? I tried using the manage program but I can't seem to move the openoffice programs at start up.

Thanks in advance,
Bonn
