I have recently had this problem and found a solution I used WinRAR > Repair Archive > Treat the corrupt archive as ZIP.
The rebuilt file works fine.

Since this post was the first thing I found on google when researching the problem I hope this solution helps anyone looking.

Ok so the way I solved it was by installing an older version of Java (not ideal obviously). I had an older java jre-8u121-windows-i586 and that worked. From what I can tell OpenOffice expects the file msvcr100.dll in the java instalation folder and the latest java does not have it (having msvcr140.d...

I can't even add the java x86 (or x64) it just says "The folder you selected does not countain a java runtime environment. Please select a diffent folder" but normaly you would not even have to point to any folder it would just show up in the list. I am just trying to make LanguageTool-5.0...

I've read lots of forum threds about this java implementation problem but I could not make it work. I have instaled OpenOffice 4.1.7 on Windows 10 on a x64 PC. Instaled Java jre-8u261-windows both for x64 and x86 Instaled Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable x64 and x86 (as suggested in some ot...

Yes I have oracle report builder
I just want the double spaces that I have in my spreadsheet present in my report fields.
I don't know why it only shows a maximum of one space.
"Andrew,[space][space]Nr.24" becomes "Andrew,[space]Nr.24" no mater what I do.

I import some addresses from a open office calc spreadsheet. And sometimes I want to add a space or two so they get a nicer alignment in the final rapport. But adding mare spaces in the spreadsheet doesn't produce more spaces in the rapport. I tried Insert>Formatting Mark>Non break space , no luck.

This is beyond my problem but can you guys gimme me an example of how you do a book scan work-flow. Like >I scan> I put it this> remove that etc?

Thank you both that worked. I did not know about Alternative Find and Replace (AltSearch) extension.
Find and replace is a bit confusing to me as some regex work while others don't. I'll look up Sigil.

It's really like an "enter" hit in the the middle of the sentence.

I have a scanned book and sometimes I get these paragraphs where they shouldn't be. How can I do a Find and replace to delete a paragraph marker from paragraphs that don't end in a punctuation mark? Right now I can find them using \w$ and then manually delete them, but this problem happens at every ...

OK to sum up changing uppercase words like "NYPD" "OK" (at least 2 letters) to lower case works with this: Search for: (\w)([A-Z]+) Replace with $0 MatchCase-[ticked] Format>Font Efects>Lowercase And you can add a charater in the Replace before or after $0, like *$0* (this will m...

Ok so far I got this:

Search for
(\w)([A-Z]+)
Replace with
*$1$2

So I get
NYPD > *NYPD
And I would need:
NYPD > *nypd

The problem is I have no clue how to do the lowercase in the replace.
The one suggested before ([:upper:]*\b) would also select one letter words (not wanted) .

I've been looking for a way to change any words found in uppercase into lowercase + a symbol. For example NYPD to *nypd (this is a special rule used in braille where words like THIS are written like *this in most languages). I used * as an example of a special character. Right now I just search with...

Thank you. That worked.

Some time ago there was a grammatical change in the way some words are written in romanian. Here is one of these rules: - when inside a word î turns into â like: cît > cât. But only when inside a word, this does not apply when it's at the beginning or at the end of the word like this: încît > încât....

Thanks for the sugestion, translation was something I did look into while trying to solve this problem.

The odt2Braille extension is at the same version is was in 2012 when I first looked at it. It does have a braille preview before printing but is really hard to use for more than a few pages. I guess it's the best option for OpenOffice at the moment. Thanks for the input, didn't know about Braillebla...

Is there any way to split the writer window in 2 and see the same text in two windows side by side but with difrent fonts, normal font(arial,etc) on one side and Braille font on the other. I want to manipulate the text in nomal font to improve the Braille layout. Some letters like capital letters us...

Thanks for your time and effort I tried them both 1 Solution frofa : I just could not do the 7th step "the fiddling". It's really hit and miss for me, and frustrating. But if you did it I'm sure it can be done. 2 Solution F3K Total : The SQL solution works . I'm going to put here the versi...

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I am using the sun report builder in OpenOffice base, and can't really see how to make your example happen there. Maybe it would work in the old wizard report builder. But I really need a solution in the sun report builder if there is any.

To F3K Total : I can't use the MailMerge as I don't think it has the complexity needed, the report I have uses pictures (from a folder linked to the base), shapes, page formating etc I guess it does look like a catalog. There should be a tutorial: How to make multi-column report where the items flow...

Thanks for the quick reply but that solution doesn't work that well for me. It simply cuts the last record if ID is a odd number (like 7,9 etc) . I also was hopping to be able to order the names myself by a grade_number something like this: grade name grade name 1.12 Jake 2.3 Mike 6.1 Terry 7.1 Ted ...

I have a shape and I want it to change color corresponding to a data field. For instance I have a query with 5 category's (cat=1, cat=2 etc) and for each category I want that shape to have a different color. I tried writing in the "conditional shape expression" many variations of this: =IF...

How do I make a two column report. I what it to look like this id info id info 1 abc 2 iog 3 sad 4 fdg 5 vad 6 asd 7 asd 8 tnk I tried the sun report builder and the normal wizard, and I did manage to make it look like this: id info id info 1 abc 5 vad 2 iog 6 asd 3 sad 7 asd 4 fdg 8 tnk But this is...
