Submitted by MaverikCH on June 12, 2006 - 6:09am

Hi there

Got something for the App-Develepoer:

I decompressed the zip file to a usershare in my office. it is pointed to a normal network share like \\server\directory\. The Share is set hidden in the windows explorer = no Network-Device-Letter (i.e. L:) set on it.

U3 install

Submitted by phantomdaz on June 3, 2006 - 10:58pm

Hello all
I am a U3 Newbie and have a question
I downloaded the OOo nprogram from the U3 site from the U# smart disk. It went through all steps but when it finished, it said there was an error and it was not installed. I tried two times and the same result.

My question, if I down load the version from this site and install it on the U#, will I have any problems with running it if I do not let the U3 download and install it?
Thanks in advance for any help

Portable Oo quits unexpectedly on File > New

Submitted by haivu on May 23, 2006 - 2:55pm

Setup:
- 1 GB Swissbit USB key
- Portable Apps Suite 1.0 beta

Steps:
1. Run Portable Oo
2. File > New

Result:
The application quits unexpectedly. Note that File>Open, along with other menu choices would cause the same reaction. Some menu choices such as Help>About do not do that.

Is there anything I can do to fix this problem? Thanks.

Local Copy files to flash drive?

Submitted by dford3772 on May 23, 2006 - 10:11am

I have a local copy of OOo. I want my files to be truly portable to any host computer.

Do I understand correctly that I need a thumbdrive copy of OOo? Save my local files to it? How do I
synch ongoing files? Goodsynch or other software?
Thanks for any help,
Donna in AR

Strange Cursor Placement in Writer

Submitted by dave.P on May 22, 2006 - 5:54pm

Hi, I have the new version of portable open office. When typing a document the cursor seems to start somewhere different from where the word is typed. A bit tricky to explain, but as I complete typing a word and hit the space bar the cursor jumps out about a Tab Space to the right i.e. much further than the single space you might expect. Then when I start typing the next word the cursor and the letter appear where you expect them i.e. the cursor jumps back to the left. Also at the end of a sentence if I have a fullstop then the cursor remains between the last letter and the fullstop. Very disconcerting if you need to edit the file regularly?

Problems with PortableOpenOffice 2.0.2

Submitted by filobus on May 17, 2006 - 6:26am

I don't understand what may have happened, I unzipped my just downloaded POO, but when I run it appears like in this image (http://www.imageshosted.com/uploadimages/16685POO_bug.gif): the buttons on the toolbar are invisible, and even labels on menus!
So, by now I can't use it: maybe it has to do with my system language (italian), I don't know, maybe program tries to use italian menu but the software hasn't it... I just have no idea of what the problem is, and what I can do...

OpenOffice Portable

Submitted by kawabanga on May 15, 2006 - 5:33pm

OpenOffice 2.02 english version.
I have a problem using this OpenOffice version, when launching the application.
The application don't run.

I found that, the path of program is too long:
example: "C:\ApplicationData\Software\PortableSoftware\OpenOffice2_02\OpenOffice..."

I record the folder in a small path, and the application run!!!
example: "C:\PortableSoftware\OpenOffice2_02\..."

Excuse me for my bad english ... of course ....

Bye
