Name change[edit]

I realize I'm jumping the gun a little, as there hasn't been a release yet under the revised name, but the developers have announced [1] that they're formally dropping the '/J' (since the '/C' version has long been irrelevant). Future releases will be simply 'NeoOffice'. Tverbeek 22:42, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Update screenshot?[edit]

The screenshot in the article is quite old. Those of the 1.2 version look better and are, of course, more up-to-date. I suggest using one of the images on this page: http://neowiki.sixthcrusade.com/index.php/NeoOffice_Screenshots202.162.85.116 23:51, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

'Upstreaming' bug fixes[edit]

The article states:

Versions of OpenOffice.org starting with 2.0 are licensed only under the LGPL, but the authors of NeoOffice have stated their intention to continue releasing all versions under the standard GPL. This prevents the bug fixes and new features' code in NeoOffice from being used in OpenOffice.

While this is accurate to an extent (OOo developers can't simply read NeoOffice code and take bug fixes that way), in practice many bug fixes in shared code have been submitted to OpenOffice.org directly (see this message to the porting mailing list) or more recently to the Linux distros' ooo-build integration mechanism (see the quote from Novell's Michael Meeks in this release).

Nevertheless, the license issue remains a point of contention in some camps.

Download links hidden or missing on NeoOffice page[edit]

After trying to find a way to download NeoOffice, on what is presumably the NeoOffice cite, I'm giving up. The download link seems non-existent or hidden. At best, the links have been made less than obvious.

NeoOffice 3.0 is released[edit]

NeoOffice 3.0 is, to the best of my knowledge, now officially released (not only for early-access members). Should somebody incorporate this into the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rumblethunder (talk • contribs) 08:54, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

I've updated the title box and the history. Feel free to add or fix anything I missed. -Royalguard11(T) 15:44, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Is NeoOffice still active?[edit]

Is NeoOffice still active, or has it been discontinued and/or merged with LibreOffice or Apache OpenOffice or elsewhere? All of the information in this article and in the discussion is at least a couple of years old. Dovi (talk) 08:24, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

As far as I see, there wasn't any real progress lately. I didn't heard/read anything related. mabdul 21:53, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Other apps under the 'NeoOffice' name[edit]

I notice the two developers have been using the name to sell apparently unrelated apps for invoicing and timecard on the Mac App Store, as well as the original NeoOffice app. The article should probably be updated to reflect this. ClareTheSharer (talk) 18:55, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Seems sensible. Though it probably doesn't help for Wikipedia-quality referencing that the third-party coverage of NeoOffice hovers around zero .. - David Gerard (talk) 19:53, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

I'm no expert, but wouldn't that imply it's non-notable? ClareTheSharer (talk) 20:21, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Probably. OTOH, if they're reusing the brand for other purposes it should be mentioned .. the edges of Wikipedia epistemology get tricky - David Gerard (talk) 22:13, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

NeoOffice, GPL, and Free Software[edit]

@ZackTheCardshark (talk·contribs) Regarding this edit: Yes, they sell it, please read the GPL: they do not permit to sell software as longas you provide the source + the license and thus NeoOffice is still open source.

Not nice, somehow seldom, but still valid.

~~

Yes, the source is open, but it's not free. ZackTheCardshark (talk) 12:56, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

This appears to be 'free' versus 'free'. It's certainly free software, which is what the category is about - David Gerard (talk) 13:24, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

Hmm, now I've looked at the cat description, it appears this does meet the definition. May I suggest that the category is misleadingly named and should be amended to something less ambiguous? ZackTheCardshark (talk) 21:22, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

Good luck with that! The open source movement was started 20 years ago to address exactly that ambiguity and when I last checked rms was still describing it as wicked. ClareTheSharer (talk) 11:20, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Maybe it's just me, but though I've a higher-than-average awareness of this area, 'free presentation software' seems removed enough from 'free software' that the latter's meaning didn't occur to me looking at the former. ZackTheCardshark (talk) 14:53, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Apache OpenOffice[edit]

Hi, there. I invite everyone to participate in the polite ongoing discussion. --Entalpia2 (talk) 15:03, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

The discussion is at Talk:Apache OpenOffice. --Entalpia2 (talk) 21:27, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Commercial fork?[edit]

From NeoWiki

NeoOffice 2017 is based on the LibreOffice 4.4 code. Because earlier versions of NeoOffice were based on the much older OpenOffice 3.3 code, users may find NeoOffice behaves differently after upgrading to NeoOffice 2017. Below are the most common issues that we have seen after upgrading to NeoOffice 2017:

[edit]Installation issues

[edit]Step 1 - Download and install the latest version of NeoOffice

Only NeoOffice 2017 or higher will run on High Sierra, Mojave, Catalina, and Big Sur. To upgrade to the latest version of NeoOffice, use the following steps:

• NeoOffice Mac App Store:
  • Ensure that Apple's App Store application has installed NeoOffice 2017.23 by launching Apple's App Store application and doing these steps
  • If NeoOffice does not launch or NeoOffice Viewer launches, we recommend that you try these steps.

• NeoOffice Professional Edition:
  • Install NeoOffice 2017.23 Professional Edition if you are running an older version of NeoOffice
  • Optional: Some database features and wizards in NeoOffice require Java. If NeoOffice displays a dialog that says Java is required, install Java SE Development Kit (JDK) from Oracle. Note: only Oracle's JDK will work. Neither Apple's Java nor Oracle's Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) will work.
  • If the NeoOffice download or installation fails, we recommend that you try these steps.

[edit]Step 2 - If NeoOffice cannot save, try these steps

To fix this problem, right-click or Control-click on the NeoOffice icon in the Dock while NeoOffice Viewer is still running. In the popup menu that appears, select the Options > Show in Finder menu item. A Finder window will appear. Quit NeoOffice, drag the NeoOffice application in that Finder window to the Trash, and empty the Trash.

If you have not already installed NeoOffice Professional Edition or Classic Edition or NeoOffice from the Mac App Store, install either now using the steps in Step 1 above.

[edit]Step 3 - If NeoOffice tells you to install a newer version, try these steps

To fix this problem, right-click or Control-click on the NeoOffice icon in the Dock while NeoOffice is still running. In the popup menu that appears, select the Options > Show in Finder menu item. A Finder window will appear. Quit NeoOffice, drag the NeoOffice application in that Finder window to the Trash, and empty the Trash.

Nzbvortex 3 3 6 – lightweight usenet nzb download client. If you have not already installed NeoOffice Professional Edition or Classic Edition or NeoOffice from the Mac App Store, install either now using the steps in Step 1 above.

[edit]Step 4 - If the Mac App Store tells you that NeoOffice is already installed, try these steps

To fix this problem, open a Finder window and go to the /Applications folder. Drag the NeoOffice application in that Finder window to the Trash, and empty the Trash. Then, go back to Apple's App Store application and click on the download icon to install NeoOffice.

[edit]Step 5 - If NeoOffice crashes or does not save, try these steps

The following steps will force NeoOffice to create new user preference files with default values:

• Quit NeoOffice
• NeoOffice Professional Edition:
  • In the Finder, select the Go > Go to Folder menu item, copy the following path into the dialog that appears, and press the Go button:
    ~/Library/Preferences/NeoOffice-4.0
  • Drag the selected NeoOffice-4.0 folder to the Trash
  • In the Finder, select the Go > Go to Folder menu item, copy the following path into the dialog that appears, and press the Go button:
    ~/Library/Preferences/NeoOffice-3.0
  • Drag the selected NeoOffice-4.0 folder to the Trash
• NeoOffice Mac App Store:
  • In the Finder, select the Go > Go to Folder menu item, copy the following path into the dialog that appears, and press the Go button:
    ~/Library/Containers/org.neooffice.NeoOfficeSecureEdition/Data/Library/Preferences/NeoOfficeSecureEdition-4.0
  • Drag the selected NeoOfficeSecureEdition-4.0 folder to the Trash
  • In the Finder, select the Go > Go to Folder menu item, copy the following path into the dialog that appears, and press the Go button:
    ~/Library/Containers/org.neooffice.NeoOfficeSecureEdition/Data/Library/Preferences/NeoOfficeSecureEdition
  • Drag the selected NeoOfficeSecureEdition-4.0 folder to the Trash
• Launch NeoOffice

[edit]Step 6 - If NeoOffice still has problems, try these steps

• Quit NeoOffice
• In the Finder, go to the /Applications/Utilities folder and launch the Terminal application
• Copy the following commands into the Terminal window and press the Return key:
  defaults delete org.neooffice.NeoOffice
  defaults delete org.neooffice.NeoOfficeSecureEdition
• Launch NeoOffice

[edit]General issues

[edit]Hyperlinks do not open when clicked

In the LibreOffice 4.4 code used by NeoOffice 2017 (as well as all recent versions of OpenOffice and LibreOffice) hyperlinks only open when clicked while the Command key is pressed (Command-click).

To open hyperlinks with only a click, use the following steps:

• Select the NeoOffice > Preferences menu item
• In the Options dialog that appears, select the NeoOffice > Security item and then press the Options button
• In the Security Options and Warnings dialog that appears, uncheck the Command-click required to follow hyperlinks checkbox and press the OK button
• After the Security Options and Warnings dialog closes, press the OK button

[edit]Dark Mode issues

[edit]Text in documents is black instead of white

When running in Dark Mode, text in documents will be white only if the text color is not set. If text is set to a specific color, NeoOffice will display that color.

To unset text color in Calc documents, select some cells, select Format > Cell menu item. In the Character dialog that appears, select the Font Effects tab, set the Font color listbox to 'Automatic', and press the OK button.

To unset text color in Writer or Impress documents, select some text, select Format > Character menu item. In the Character dialog that appears, select the Font Effects tab, set the Font color listbox to 'Automatic', and press the OK button.

[edit]Writer issues

[edit]Mail merge adds blank pages when printing

When printing some mail merge documents that were saved in NeoOffice 2015 or earlier, the LibreOffice 4.4 code used by NeoOffice 2017 may insert blank pages in the printed output.

To stop the insertion of blank pages when printing, use the following steps:

• While in your mail merge document, select the NeoOffice > Preferences menu item
• In the Options dialog that appears, select the NeoOffice Writer > Print item and then uncheck the Print automatically inserted blank pages checkbox and press the OK button
• Save your mail merge document

[edit]Custom starting page numbers are incorrect

When opening some documents that have custom starting page numbers that were saved in NeoOffice 2015 or earlier, the LibreOffice 4.4 code used by NeoOffice 2017 may display the incorrect page number.

To correct the custom starting page numbers, use the following steps:

• Move the cursor into the first paragraph of your document. If a table is at the start of the first paragraph, insert a new blank line before the table by moving the cursor to the beginning of the top left cell in the table and then pressing the Return key, and then move the cursor to the new blank line.
• Select the Format > Paragraph menu item
• In the Paragraph dialog that appears, select the Text Flow tab and then, in the Breaks section, check the Insert and the With page style checkboxes, enter the custom starting page number in the Page number field, and press the OK button
• If you have any page breaks in your document, move the cursor into the first paragraph after a page break and repeat the preceding 2 steps
• Save your document

[edit]Spreadsheet issues

[edit]Spreadsheet formulas display #VALUE! instead of a number

If a mathmatical formula references any cells that contain spaces or other non-numeric characters, the LibreOffice 4.4 code used by NeoOffice 2017 (as well as all recent versions of OpenOffice and LibreOffice) will display #VALUE!. In contrast, the OpenOffice 3.3 code used by earlier versions of NeoOffice would behave as if such cells were empty cells.

To stop the display of #VALUE!, there are two options:

1. Put each cell reference in a mathematical formula into the N() function. The N() function will return 0 if the cell reference is non-numeric which is very similar to the OpenOffice 3.3 behavior.
2. Delete cells with spaces or other non-numeric characters that are referenced by any mathematical formulas in your spreadsheet. You can delete most of the cells with spaces or other non-numeric characters using the following steps:
   • Select the cell range which contains text strings
   • Choose the Edit menu then the Find & Replace… sub-menu
   • In the Find & Replace window, enter '^.*[^0-9-.,].*$' (without quotes) in the Search For field
   • Set the Replace With field to empty
   • Click Other options or More options button
   • Check the Regular expressions checkbox
   • Set the Search in listbox to Values
   • Press the Replace All button

[edit]Deleting a cell in a spreadsheet always displays a dialog

To stop the display of this dialog, use the following steps:

• While in a Calc document, select the NeoOffice > Preferences menu item
• In the Options dialog that appears, select the NeoOffice Calc > Compatibility item
• Set the Key Bindings listbox to OpenOffice.org legacy
• Press the OK button

[edit]No grid lines in spreadsheet cells that have a background color

The LibreOffice 4.4 code used by NeoOffice 2017 draws the cell background color on top of grid lines. In contrast, the OpenOffice 3.3 code used by earlier versions of NeoOffice would draw grid lines on top of the cell background color.

To display grid lines in cells that have a background color, use the following steps:

• While in a Calc document, select the NeoOffice > Preferences menu item
• In the Options dialog that appears, select the NeoOffice Calc > View item
• Set the Grid lines listbox to Show on colored cells
• Press the OK button

[edit]Goal seek fails when the variable cell is empty or is non-numeric

The LibreOffice 4.4 code used by NeoOffice 2017 only processes variable cells that are set to a numeric value. If a variable cell is empty or contains text or a formula, goal seek will fail.

To stop goal seek from failing, you will need to set each variable cell's value to a numeric value such as 0 before you select the Tools > Goal Seek menu item.

[edit]No menu item to export a chart to an image file

In the LibreOffice 4.4 code used by NeoOffice 2017, exporting a chart to an image file can no longer be done using the File > Export menu item.

To export a chart to an image file, right-click or Control-click on a chart and, in the popup menu that appears, select the Export as Image menu item. Then, in the Save dialog that appears, select the desired image format in the File type listbox.

[edit]Macro and extension issues

[edit]The Tools > Macros > Record Macro menu item is disabled

Neooffice 2017 21 Se 9th

In the LibreOffice 4.4 code used by NeoOffice 2017, recording macros is disabled by default.

To enable recording macros, use the following steps:

• Select the NeoOffice > Preferences menu item
• In the Options dialog that appears, select the NeoOffice > Advanced item, check the Enable macro recording checkbox, and press the OK button

[edit]Macros and extensions that worked in NeoOffice 2015 do not work in NeoOffice 2017

The macro runtime and extension APIs in the LibreOffice 4.4 code used by NeoOffice 2017 contains many security and syntax changes from the very old OpenOffice 3.1.1 code used by NeoOffice 2015. Because of these LibreOffice changes, many macros and extensions that worked in NeoOffice 2015 and earlier versions may no longer work in NeoOffice 2017.

It may not be possible or practical to rewrite macros or extensions written for NeoOffice 2015 to work in NeoOffice 2017. In such cases, the following options are available:

• Try running your macros and extensions in OpenOffice 4.1.
• Downgrade to NeoOffice 2015.12 Classic Edition.
