Bill Roy Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 ODBSA's newsletter for July 2010 is available for download. Just click on this link ODBSA Newsletter to read about the great demo that Danny Ward put on for us at his Horse Shoeing School and other interesting news. It is 9 pages of pictures, articles, current news, instruction from Dale, and info on our next event, Gerald Bogg's demoing at Buford Hodges in Boones Mill. And if that's not enough for you, check out the slide show of Danny's demo at the bottom of the Current News page of Old Dominion Blacksmith Association.

evfreek Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Hi Bill. Thanks for posting this. It looks interesting. By the way, does anybody know how to view this file on a Linux machine? It opens with openoffice by default. The pictures are visible, but much of the text is obscured behind white panels. Is there a better viewer available which is not too hard to install?

evfreek Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 OK, I figured it out. For some reason, the old version of OpenOffice that is shipped with my Linux distribution does not quite follow the layout. Everything is there, it is just obscured. Converting to PDF has the same problem. Newer versions of OpenOffice.org hang upon launching. Probably need a newer distribution or machine. Here is how to work around the problem. Simply open 2 copies of the document. Delete the text blocks in one of them and the images in the other one, or vise versa. Some of the blocks are difficult to delete, so you can right click on them and unlock their binding. They then can be moved out of the way. Eventually, you should be able to read the entire document. Phil and Thomas notwithstanding, Linux is a little bit inconvenient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
