Guest omar Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 KDE 3.1 RC3 and OpenOffice I installed 3.1 RC3 and I like it a lot. However one side effect of the install was that OpenOffice has all it's menus disappeared? What I mean is that instead of menu items on the top like File, Edit, Tools, now I have only dashes. I think it might have to do with the newer version of QT, but I am wondering if anyone else had the same issue? I am using Mandrake 9.0, AMD Athlon XP 1700 Processor, OpenOffice1.0.1. I did do a complete deinstall and reinstall, but the issue still remains. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 Try to update your open office from cooker. BUT, 3.1 is a release candidate, and not a true release yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 I have a feeling that it is an XFT or fontconfig problem. Once I installed the newest texstar XFT and fontconfig and the same problem happens to my openoffice menu. All I have to do is uninstall the two packages and reboot, then I change my menu system in Openoffice.org to OS/2 style instead of standard style.. then reinstall the XFT and fontconfig. The menu will look bold but at least it's viewable. As soon as I change the menu system back to standard, the dash problem reappears. However I remember which menu and options to choose to change it back to OS/2 style again and all is well now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arriagga Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 the same problem happened to me, and i thought it was a languaje problem (im a latinamerican), i install the english languaje in openoffice and it worked, for a while. i uninstall openoffice and reinstall, but no luck so far. the problem is that i need openoffice to open powerpoint docs (and some others ms-docs) ths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest omar Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 I installed StartOffice 6.0 and it fixed the problem. But when I uninstall StarOffice and reinstall OpenOffice the problems reappears. I will stick with StarOffice for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
