On Format -> Page and selecting the Page tab
when doing a mirrored page it seems to me that there is some inconsistency with
the inner and outer margins.
When I make the inner margins bigger the little diagram shows them as bigger
but when I return to the document it is the outer margins that have been made
bigger.
Is this an error or am I misinterpreting the information.

Hi, I have 3 Tables
"EMP" with "EID" and "Name"
"SERV" with "SID", "Serv" and "Val"
"INV" with "IID", "Name", "Clien",
"Serv" and "Val"
have a Form from "INV" named "FINV" want to display:
"Name" (did it with a Combobox but it saves "Name" in table
after selection) "Clien" wich must be filled (a textbox),
"Serv" (did it with Listbox in order to save "Val") and
"Val" (a textbox) wich is filled after selection from listbox but it
updates until get focus.
Questions
i dont want to save any until next phase(they must go to a subform first) how
not save them?
is there a way to actualize "Val" just after selection in listbox ?
Thanks in advance

I hate to point out something that I feel works better in Excel, but this
absolutely drives me crazy.
If I enter a number in OpenOffice in an unformatted (General Format) cell, it
gets rounded (for display purposes) to two decimal places. Excel shows whatever
significant number of decimal places the number has (up to fifteen). Does some
way exist to get OpenOffice to do this (without having to reformat every
number)?

Linux with the binary OO (2.4.1).
I live in a place that commonly dd/mm/yyyy date format.
I absolutely detest it. In fact, I hate it so much I patched (by myself, and I
am NOT a programmer) glibc, and recompiled my entire system so I get ISO 8601
dates everywhere.
Except OpenOffice, that is. It doesn't seem to use the system locale settings.
Does some way exist to set a DEFAULT date format (yyyy-mm-dd) so that
OpenOffice uses it? Yes, I know how to reformat cells, but I have to open a lot
of (Excel) spreadsheets from other people, and dates that appear as yyyy-mm-dd
in Excel show up (UGH!) as dd/mm/yyyy in OpenOffice. I don't want to have to go
searching and wandering around every spreadsheet I get trying to reformat the
dates.
I think the user should have more control over this.

| Table numbering |

I'm preparing a document with a number of tables, and I prefer to number the
tables in sequence without regard to chapter numbers. Originally I got exactly
that numbering, but at some point, when I was trying to fix one small problem,
I managed to dig myself into a hole I cannot seem to get out of. 
I inadvertently clicked that button that says "options" -- a terrible
thing to label it, because it doesn't really give you a lot of options that one
can choose among. I had forgotten that
it changed the numbering of tables from standard to the form <chapter
number>.<sequence number within chapter>. This would not be so bad, if
I could undo it and go back to the
original numbering! But I've searched the Help file, and while it tells how to
add chapter numbers, nowhere can I find
how to get rid of them!
Apparently I can edit the captions and change the numbers manually, but this is not a great solution,
because it kills cross-referencing, and
because manually numbering the tables means I cannot go and add another table
somewhere in the middle of the document without manually redoing all the numbers afterward!
And any table I create now defaults to a
caption with a number in this format. Short of creating a totally new document
and starting from scratch (and it has taken me weeks to get this far, so I
don't want to do that!) I'm stymied.
Does anyone have a way to get out of this?
