List,
I have a rather unique question, that perhaps can be answered easily here.I did search google and only came up with one app that does this exact thing; however, it's an expensive tool. Thusly, not my cup of tea.
I have need to convert approximately 100 documents in Openoffice's native format to Microsoft Word's native format. Apparently, someone's manager wants all of the documents in Word (just this once) for whatever reason and going back and saving each individual file as a Word document seems excessive. Does anyone know of a conversion tool that is native to linux (preferrably) that could do this? Or even a Windows app would suffice truly.

You will probably have much better luck on an OOo specific forum/list. I would suggest the OpenOffice.orgForum on Macros and API:
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewforum.phtml?f=9
And more specifically:
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=12922
Also, if you could satisfy this pointy haired boss with PDF and/or HTML you will probably have an easier time, but maybe there is a way to get it to a Word doc easily.
Good luck, Greg

Thank you sir. And in hind sight, checking the forums in OOo would have probably been a wise idea. Excellent links by the by!

This fixed my issue in total. Thank you for the links Greg, again.

OK, so what in blazes is the file you attached called smime.p7s? I'm not interested in searching to decode it.

I haven't saved Peter's original message, but typically a file called smime.p7s is an S/MIME signature embedded in a PKCS#7 file, a standard way of signing e-mail messages (see RFC 3851).

Thanks. I never touch the stuff, so I didn't recognize it. I'm a POEM (plain ole email) fan, so all of this stuff is just trash to wade through.
List:
Good morning. I'm hoping someone is still up who can lend me an ear. I'm sitting on the floor of Mae West surrounded by disassembled servers, frustrated out of my mind. Same as last weekend. ;-)
Actually, I'm having a weird issue. I have a Dell 420SC in front of me. It's a fine machine, brand new. p4 2.8 800Mhz bus, 1GB DDR2 (2x512) and dual 80GB drives. I've used the onboard raid to build a raid-0+1 (mirror) raid array. The problem is, it's telling me as soon as I load up the setup for CentOS 4 that no drives are available and that I should load up some.
Odd.
I have three machines running CentOS 4 over here with the identical specs, and identical settings. One even has the exact same configuration, including raid setup, and it's running happily. But it was installed from and older CentOS 4 disk (got scratched). I've got about 12 more to do tonight. How is it possible that the same machine with concurrent serial numbers won't load RAID? Is there some trick?
I'm really at a loss on this one. I'm on the 14th floor. Now if I could get one of these windows to open, I think I have a very easy solution...
Anyone have any experience with this? Is there some trick to getting these 420SC's to load CentOS?
Thanks in advance.
Jonathan
Unfortunately the "Raid controller " that the hardware says that comes with, uses a software driver in order to perform the raid functions. So to make the long story short just use the OS soft raid functionality
Have fun. Good day

No, in fact I didn't. Odd. I did have to pass a crapload of bootup commands (noscsi among them), but I have no record of what I used...
Thanks fer the help...

What I would do is this:
used G4U to clone the other machine if it is identical,
G4U works very well, and boots Free/NetBSD, it boots from CDROM, and backs up to an FTP server which you will have because you have the other machines.
Then G4U boot the new machine and slurp the image back down....
This may work, its slow to create the images and needs a lot of disk space on the ftp server, but slurping the data back is fast....
This would give you an image of the install which you can use for DR as well...

Glad it was of some use,
If you are copying Windows partitions with G4U there is a utility to zero out the empty parts of the partitions, which allows the Gzip compression to be more effective....
Otherwise a 20Gig Partition takes up 20Gigs on the ftp server....
