OpenOffice Portable

web page update

Submitted by sgp on October 29, 2006 - 1:54am

I noticed in the OOo Portable FAQ page:

"Portable Apps Suite Upgrades: A new version of the suite that contains this new OpenOffice.org Portable version is coming in the next week."

I guess the "next week" part is obsolete.

I am delighted with the portable version. I have been experimenting and wonder if i've found a bug?

When using tables one can get sides of a cell without a hitch. But when one wants to have sides of different thickesses it doesn't seem to do it. Neither for that matter does Abiword. I tried both - then compared with WordPro and Word.

Suggestions anyone!

Portable VS U3

Submitted by Walrez on October 11, 2006 - 12:13pm

Hi,
I'm about to download OpenOffice, and I notice that the U3 version is 230mb and the portable just 65mb.

Are those two different distributions (the U3 being a fuller version and the portable is based on a smaller one?), or is it something concerning U3?

Thanks,
Walter

Java Classpath

Submitted by cheffe on October 4, 2006 - 11:33am

Hello,

I need to set my Java Classpath. Further on I would like to be able to choose one specific JDK/JRE and keep it for all application startups.

As OpenOffice Portable automatically overwrites the Java configuration my settings get overwritten. It would be nice to be able to switch this feature off.

Kind regards

OpenOfficePortable 2.03 won't open spreadsheet files from command line

Submitted by planetthoughtful on September 21, 2006 - 4:02am

Hi,

This new version of OpenOfficePortable seems to 'break' the ability to open OOo files from the command line? I only ask / noticed this because I use SlickRun to launch an OOo spreadsheet each day that I use as my work timesheet, and if I point it at the version for 2.02 (back when it was still PortableOpenOffice) it works, but pointing it at version 2.03 (ie OpenOfficePortable) simply opens a black spreadsheet, ignoring the filename as an open parameter.

Also, from a DOS prompt, the following works "\PortableOpenOffice\PortableOpenOfficeCalc.exe timesheet.ods", but this doesn't: "\OpenOfficePortable\OpenOfficeCalcPortable.exe timesheet.ods" (ie, it opens a blank spreadsheet instead of timesheet.ods). By the way, in case it isn't obvious, I have the Portable version of OOo 2.02 in \PortableOpenOffice, and the Portable version of OOo 2.03 in \OpenOfficePortable.
