Open Office does not do automatic updates, and any updates of Open Office require the download of the updated Open Office program, and installation of the new download. To my knowledge, any updates should not affect the content of your document, of which the Header is part of. *Open Office, in the above, refers to the Writer application. If you have some settings that you use frequently, but not all of the time, you can make other templates and then call up the template before doing your writing.īy calling up the template, it will be used in place of the Default template until such time as another template is loaded or Open Office is closed (in which case the Default template will be used again upon reopening of Open Office) I no longer agree to updates - when the message is shown on opening a document - because doing so wipes-out the Header contents. While I'm waving a magic-wand … It would be good if one could Update Document Style - for ALL documents at once - without having the Header contents erased. Oh dear, I don't think I've expressed that very well, but I hope the reader gets the idea. The Default setting for the position of bullets & numbering is one issue I frequently have occasion to wish I could change. If I could wave a magic-wand and effect a change to OO: Find a way to give users access to the "Default" settings - give us a way to 'set-and-forget' such things as Font, Numbering & Bullet settings … all the things that one later attempts to set-up by modifying the Default Template, but in some cases cannot. Three cheers for "acknak", "Zizi", "Hagar", "MrProgrammer" and all the other contributors who so promptly give of their time, in facilitating my use of OO. BUT when it comes to orderly presentation and clear comment in the Community Forum, OpenOffice wins hands-down. It looks 'pretty' and I'm sure I could get used to the different layout. The other aspects were already covered by answers above.įillable.pdf (30.I recently had occasion to consider using LibreOffice downloaded and installed it, had a look. ![]() You should consider to add something like "(concerning export to pdf-forms)" Your question mainly is about export to pdf. You can open it with your reader, and most likely change the fields. The attached example was made "on the fly" with LibO, and the fields were filled after the export to pdf using "Foxit Reader". If you want to do so, you will need to know a lot more than you have asked for. Forms are basically made to connect to a database. You or your clients need to use one supporting the filling. ![]() The next step will be done by any brand of pdf software ( a "Reader"). OOXML formatted files, you should be better off with LibreOffice. ![]() If you need compatibility to MS sellware or rentware, and in specific if you also need to work with. I am looking for a tool that can create fillable PDF forms from a MS Word or Excel file. Jennifer Murphy wrote:Are OpenOffice and LibreOffice two different products? How do they differ? OpenOffice releases tiny little updates once a year and recently it had to fix updates because they were broken because there are not even enough voluteers to test the entire product on each supported platform.Ĭontrary to that, LibreOffice can get on someones nerves because its quality management is not good enough for the pace of development and quite obviously, there is a group of people who constantly mess up the menues with never ending "good ideas". SInce 2015 it has become clear that OpenOffice is dying under that roof because all relevant developers and other volunteers switched over to the more attractive project. OpenOffice found a new home under the roof of the Apache foundation. OpenOffice 3.3 and LibreOffice 3.3 were identical products except from the blue/green branding.
