OpenOffice Portable

Documents opened empty for associated files OOo 2.0.3

Submitted by dphommah on November 19, 2006 - 6:36pm

Dear all,

I have files with content in both OOo Portable 2.0.3 and MS Office formats (documents, spreadsheets and presentations) which when opened with OOo Porable 2.0.3, are always blank/empty, although I have associated the respective file extensions with with OOo Portable 2.0.3 in my Windows Explorer in WinXP home.

Please let me know if you have experienced this behavior and how you solved it.

Best regards.

Hey

Looking at the help html file that came with portable OpenOffice.org (not quite sure why...), it seems that some of it may have gotten mixed into the help file for Audacity!

[quote]

OpenOffice.org Portable is the versatile OpenOffice.org sound recorder and editor packaged with a PortableApps.com Launcher as a portable app, so you can work with your sound files from an iPod, USB flash drive, portable hard drive, CD or any other portable media. It has all the same great features as OpenOffice.org including live audio recording, support for multiple file formats (Ogg Vorbis, MP3, WAV), effects and filters and more. Plus, it leaves no personal information behind on the machine you run it on, so you can take your sound editor wherever you go. Learn more about OpenOffice.org...

MS Excel Macros do not work with Open Office Portable

Submitted by busybody on November 9, 2006 - 5:03pm

When I open a file created with MS Excel and containing macros, the macros do not work with Open Office Portable.

I get an error alert box saying:


A scripting Framework error occurred while running the basic script
vnd.sun.star.script:Standard.Module9.Fw?language=Basic&location=document.

Message: BasicProviderImpl::getScript: no script!

What does this mean and how do I get Excel macros to work with Open Office Portable?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Copying your Portable settings to a Local profile

Submitted by bh2ooo on November 9, 2006 - 3:50pm

Do we need to delete the "compreg.dat" file after copying a profile from OpenOffice Portable to a local profile for Openoffice? I ask after noticing that is a "don't forget" when doing it with Thunderbird Portable:

A similar response was made for Firefox Portable

Other apps on this site have compreg.dat but only TBP and FFP show up in the search.

Related question: If copying a profile from a portable copy on your USB to a PORTABLE copy on your hard drive (not to a "local" copy), is the compreg.dat file to be deleted from the destination folder?

OpenOffice Base link to dbase files on different assigned drives?

Submitted by bumblefish on November 3, 2006 - 3:40pm

I am attempting to run OpenOffice portable base on a usb stick with a link to a dbase file. I can set it all up as I wish, but I use the same USB stick at work on a variety of machine with a number of networked drives. Sometimes the drive letter is assigned differently, then I get an error message, how can I get OpenOffice base to always read a 'local' version of the dbase file?
