Modifications and updates Version Date Description of Change [1.0] [2006-02-23] [grs: Initial edition issued for comment] [1.1] [2006-08-01] [wam: Edited for clarity/format, added parts from User Guide] [2.0] [2006-08-19] [wam: Added and edited new sections] Troubleshooting Common Problems ii Error Message contains “Get Storage: "No Content"” Error Message contains “Get Storage: "No Content"” The full error message reads: OpenOffice can not be started due to an error in accessing the OpenOffice.org configuration data. Please contact your system administrator. The following internal error has occurred: Get Storage: "No Content" Often this message occurs because there is a file called Common.xcu that sometimes gets corrupted. In most cases, it seems that this file ends up being filled with 0s (zeros). The problem seems to occur more often under Windows®, possibly as a result of a crash or improper exit while OpenOffice.org was open. Under Windows® To locate this file under Windows®, it is easiest to use Windows® Explorer's Find function (sometimes called Search). Multi-user installations: Where OpenOffice.org is installed as multi-user under Windows® NT/2000/XP, this file is likely to be in a special system user directory. Therefore, having administrator rights and enabling the option to view system directories in Explorer is essential before using the Find function. This particular file should be found in C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\OpenOffi ce.org<release>\user\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\Commo n.xcu where <username> is an actual user name and <release> is the release of OpenOffice.org. Once the file is located, make sure OpenOffice.org is closed and simply rename the file (for example, to something like Common.xcu.old). Restart OpenOffice.org and a new Common.xcu is created and the problem should disappear. Single-user installations: Where OpenOffice.org is installed for a single user, this file is likely to be in C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org<release>\<username>\registry\d ata\org\openoffice\Office\Common.xcu where <username> is an actual user name and <release> is the release of OpenOffice.org. However, if the OS is NT/2000/XP, this file could still be in a special system user directory. Therefore, having administrator rights and enabling the option to view system directories in Explorer is essential before using the Find function. For Windows® 95/98/ME, the location should be as mentioned above in this section, though C:\Windows\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2\user\registry\data\org\openoffice\office\ Common.xcu might be a good place to look. Again, once the file is located, simply rename the file (for example to something like Common.xcu.old). Now restart OpenOffice.org and a new Common.xcu is created and the problem should have disappeared. Troubleshooting Common Problems 1 Error Message contains “Get Storage: "No Content"” Note: there may be files called Common.xcu under paths such as C:\<some path>\.OpenOffice.org<release>\share\registry\...... et cetera where <release> is the release of OpenOffice.org. The difference being here share appears in place of the user name. Do NOT delete these files! UNIX systems The default location of this file under a UNIX installation (single or multi-user) is $HOME/ .openoffice.org<release>/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Common.xc u where $HOME is the user's home directory. As above, simply rename the file (for example to something like Common.xcu.old) and restart OpenOffice.org. A new Common.xcu is created and the problem should have disappeared. Troubleshooting Common Problems 2 Outline numbering is not retained after a save Outline numbering is not retained after a save This is issue, 27534 (see http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=27534), which is fixed in release 1.1.4. However, in documents generated by OpenOffice.org1.1.0 up to 1.1.3, one must employ a workaround to achieve expected behavior. The problem is that a line in settings.xml is being set incorrectly when a document is saved. Unfortunately, the only way to fix this is to manually edit the .sxw file. The following provides a procedure to follow: 1. Make a temporary directory in which to unzip the .sxw file. For example, my_text. 2. Change into this directory. 3. Use unzip or similar zipfile utility to unpack the problem document file. 4. Edit settings.xml and locate the line that looks like the following: <config:config-item config:name="UseOldNumbering" config:type="boolean">false</config:config-item> 5. Change the value from false to true. 6. Now using zip or similar utility, repack the files in the temporary directory under a new file name and give it the .sxw extension. With Linux the command could be: zip -r my_new_fixed_document.sxw * 7. Open the fixed document in OpenOffice.org and verify the numbering. If a copy of StarOffice 6.0 is available, one can get the same effect by opening and saving the document in StarOffice 6.0. By doing so, this line will be removed totally. Likewise, OpenOffice.org1.0 might also work. In either case , when the document is opened using OpenOffice1.1.x, the line, described above, is added with value true and there will be no further problems with outline numbering.

    List of Word Processors (Page 1 of 2) Bob Hawes copied this list from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_word_processors.

This way, most of the software on page 1 is free, and most of the software on page 2 is not. Bob then used page 1 as the basis for his April 15, 2011 presentation Free Word Processors.

  • Tech Tips Zamzar
    Tech Tips from Mr G Converting Files with Zamzar It happens to all of us. Someone sends us a file that’s written in Microsoft Works (don’t get me started), and all we have is Word. Or you created a presentation on your Mac at home, using Keynote, but the computer you’re working on now only has PowerPoint. Instead of silently cursing the person who sent you the incompatible file for not saving it into a more standard format, and ripping out your hair, there may well be a solution to the problem. And that solution’s name is Zamzar. What is Zamzar? Let’s go back for a moment and talk about an author by the name of Franz Kafka. He wrote a short story called The Metamorphosis, in which a character by the name of Gregor Samsa woke up one day to find out that he had been turned into a giant cockroach. At least that’s the way my 8th grade teacher, Mr D’Antonio, told us the story. Zamzar takes its name from Gregor Samsa, who was changed, because it changes your files from one format to another. Now that you know that, let’s get down to what Zamzar really is. It’s a web-based program that can convert one file format to just about any other file format, and you can find it at www.zamzar.com. How Do You Use Zamzar? There are four steps, as shown in the graphic from their website. The first step is to select the file you want to convert.
