Dear Ann,

Thanks for this message. I was successful in downloading the latest version of FLEx.

However, I am still up against the roadblock in downloading the extension to export to Open Office. I have tried clicking on the link in your message, but I continue to get error messages telling me that "LinguisticTools-1.2.8 does not exist" - even though the link I have clicked on specifies "LinguisticTools-2.2.1", not "1.2.8". This problem also occurs when I try to go via the link from http://projects.palaso.org/projects/ooolt.

Ann Bush <ann_...@sil.org>: Jul 17 06:42AM -0500 Hi Ian,   You can get the Linguistics Tool plugin at http://projects.palaso.org/attachments/download/416/LinguisticTools-2.2.1.oxt. The installation .exe file downloaded from the FieldWorks website is a self-extracting .exe file. Usually clicking on it extracts the necessary files for installation. Just let the self-extractor do its thing, if it fails then that means the setup file itself is corrupted! Most likely due to damage in transit while downloading, in which case just download it again.   Ann   -----Original Message----- From: flex...@googlegroups.com [mailto:flex...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ian Tupper Sent: Friday, July 17, 2015 1:29 AM To: flex...@googlegroups.com Subject: [FLEx] Exporting FLEx examples to Open Office   Two problems:   (1) What is the current method for exporting text examples to Open Office?

Neither a helpful response.

Dear Ian,

I am using LibreOffice 5.0.2.2. and using FLEx 8.1.4. I found a version of Linguistic Tools at this address:

http://projects.palaso.org/projects/ooolt

I was able to download and install a version of Linguistic Tools called LinguisticTools-2.2.1.oxt  .

It may be that they have fixed the link now? Ctrl+Click my link to the file link in the paragraphs above or go to the palaso site and try again. 

Hope this works for you.

Marlin

I sent the files to Ian off list.  The server seems to be working now, so it was probably just a temporary issue.
