Indeed. There are even people who drive a car without knowing what
make of spark plugs it has. Or watch television without knowing the
make of its video decoding chip. Some people wear underwear without
knowing even in which country it was manufactured!

Answer questions in the context of AOO if it is a question that can be
answered that way. If not say it appears to be a QuickOffice pro issue and
tell the questioner support must come from another source. With either
response point out the full support of this list is available if they use
AOO.
My thinking is responding in this way might bring more people to AOO. In my
experience intricacies of computers and software, beyond the most
superficial level, are well beyond the understanding of the majority
computer users. (Many are unable even to recognize what browser they are
using.) Inviting people to AOO instead of sending them away for not using
it might be helpful to build the user base.

I believe the proposed boilerplate that Andreas has offered is
something that would occur as part of moderation of inputs from
non-subscribers to the users @o.a.o list.
Moderators are not expected to actively respond. The idea is
to accept or reject the non-subscriber submission. An accepted
submission is then available for the community of active users
@o.a.o to respond to. (This does not mean moderators don't
Provide assistance, it is just not in the job description.)
If the messages are accepted to the list, their treatment is
going to be very uneven and not necessarily particularly friendly,
based on what I have observed on a few recent occasions.
I suggest one modification to the boilerplate rejection message.
Something to the effect that one might find something useful on
the OpenOffice Forum, although any specific technical support
is the responsibility of the provider of "QuickOffice Pro."

QuickOffice is for working with MS Office documents, I hardly can
imagine users can maintain
documents on an iPad let alone an iPhone.
So basically the users need an viewer to see their documents which are
available on the App Store
Telling the users that we don't support QuickOffice is one thing, but
adding a promotion for
OpenOffice as a good alternative for MS Office is free advertisement.

Why don't we turn a negative in positive?
Just promote OpenOffice as the solution for all his/her problems.

Good to hear, Rory - that's the way these fora are meant to work, i e,
that a user who presents a problem is helped to find a solution, without
his or her lack of computer knowledge being subject to mockery !...

Check that the language of the text (shown middle of Status Bar at OpenOffice screen bottom) is the same as the language set in
/Tools /Options /Language Settings /Languages : Default languages for documents
It is not sufficient for these to be different flavours of English - the regions must match.

Hello Anyone!
I am an idiot when it comes to computers so please be patient. I installed open office about one month ago and there were no problems. I down loaded some files from word pad and I can no longer activate spell check! I will try to remove open office and reload after saving my files. Does anyone know if this is the right way to approach this?

I agree. Messages that are obviously referring to the "QuickOffice pro"
app are off topic on this list. So I don't see anything back in
rejecting them.
A variant of Martin's latest answer can be used as canned message:
---
Your message is being rejected since users@openoffice.apache.org is a
mailing list for users of Apache OpenOffice, not QuickOffice Pro.
Apache OpenOffice is available for free from http://www.openoffice.org/
QuickOffice Pro links to Apache OpenOffice for support, but Apache
OpenOffice has nothing to do with this application. Please report this
problem to the Apple Store.

Andrea.

Given that this list is likely going to continue to receive these from
users (A fool and his money are soon parted) of this bogus (and most
likely illegal) itunes app, can the list moderators consider filtering
these & perhaps sending a canned message back to the sender?
The senders are not subscribed:
Delivered-To: moderator for users@openoffice.apache.org
so I imagine that the list manager has the tools to do this.
