There are two relevant parts of the OpenOffice options dialog, View and Fonts: There are also other GTK engine packages available. Use a program like gtk-chtheme to select a style (in general different from KDE) and a font (may be the same as your KDE general system font). Instead choose a native syle and font for GTK 2 applications. Use different configuration from general themeĭo not select Use my KDE style in GTK applications. To configure the look for anytime OpenOffice gets started, you can export the OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP variable in /etc/profile.d/openoffice.sh, or in /usr/bin/soffice.Īlternatively you can put the variable in any OpenOffice desktop file in Exec line between Exec and the command, then copy them to $XDG_DATA_HOME/applications in order to prevent overwriting on update.Ĭheck Uniform look for Qt and GTK applications for a broad application, general tips and other methods to achieve it. To choose by hand, you need to set the OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP environment variable. OpenOffice supports to use several toolkits for drawing and integrates into different desktop environments in a clean way. To add fonts to those already available in OpenOffice, run spadmin. This behavior is a default, but disabling it speeds up the loading time.
Note: If you intend to use macros, you must have a Java Runtime Environment. The default path for LibreOffice macros in Arch Linux is: Choose the path in Tools > Options > LibreOffice/OpenOffice > Paths Macros are not guaranted to work in both OpenOffice and LibreOffice, but it is possible to choose a common directory for them. The path for this directory in Arch Linux is: In most Linux distributions, the default path for macros is:
Download the extension and install it using /usr/lib/openoffice/program/unopkg add -shared extension for every user on the system (requires root permission)įor spellchecking you will need hunspell and dictionary for hunspell (like hunspell-en_us, hunspell-de, etc), for hyphenation rules you will need hyphen ( hyphen-en, hyphen-de, etc) and for a thesaurus, libmythes.Download the extension and install it using /usr/lib/openoffice/program/unopkg add extension for the user.Use the Extension manager from OpenOffice menu for download and installation - installs only for the user into their ~/./3/user/uno_packages/cache.Note: If you installed LibreOffice, the path will be /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/extensions/ instead and extensions are currently all already known to the system.Īlternatively, there are several ways to accomplish this: usr/lib/openoffice/share/extension/install/ From there enter the following location to install a spell check dictionary: Check Extension manager if your language is already there simply by loading up any OpenOffice program (Writer for example) and access the Extension Manager from the Tools menu. The Arch package is now shipped with some dictionaries. Official Microsoft fonts are useful to prevent pagination problems. Install the openoffice-bin AUR package or compile it from source. 4.7 OpenOffice does not detect my certificates.4.4 Dark GTK themes, icons and GTK-Qt Engine.2.1.1 Use different configuration from general theme.1.2.2 Other extensions installed by default.1.2 Extension management and spell checking.
XLS files can also be opened on Android or iOS. Whilst applications like OpenOffice allow XLS files to be opened but some features may be limited.
Users can open XLS files on either Office for Windows or for Mac and support all the features including macros that have been written in Visual Basic. In 2007 the XLSX file replaced it as the primary file type used to save Excel Spreadsheets. XLS files are widely used in education and in work and are widely used.
XLS file also allow users to create and record macros using a macro programming language called Visual Basic. XLS files also support charts, images, pivot tables and more which means that anybody doing any form of calculation or statistics tend to use XLS files. XLS files allow users to do calculations by inserting formulas into cells. It contains one or more worksheets that are made up of cells which are arranged by row and by column. XLS, also known as a spreadsheet file that has been created by Microsoft or another spreadsheet program.
