Re: PLEASE Help. I cannot open an Open Office file saved to my desktop.

[PCS]

My apologies if I am stating the obvious, but maybe it can be opened by another 
application. If you are using a Macintosh, right-click on the OO document and 
select "Open With” and try one of the non-default apps in the list. I have 
found that you can usually get usable text if you open an inaccessible document 
with TextEdit, though you may have to strip out a lot of formatting characters 
to make it easily readable, then copy it to and reformat it in a new WP 
document. If you are using Windows I assume it must have some equivalent of the 
Mac’s “Open With”.

We need to know more about what happens when you attempt to open it.  What 
error message do you get?

Hello,
Since having computers Open Office is all that I use.  This malfunction has 
never happened before.  What went wrong?
I crafted a very special letter to Elon Musk on Open Office, saved it and there 
is nothing that I can do to open it.
I create my email and other memos etc on Open Office then copy-paste it to 
where I will use it.
Please help me.

I have also had this problem, this year was the first time ever in 29 years w/ 
computers. Was working w/ someone  else in a rush working from home w/ out her 
office equipment. 

You are not alone!
Can you look through all the other places where you might have saved an earlier 
version?

I now save documents and other important files in a variety of places going 
along. Documents folder, desktop, specifically named folder for that type of 
file, project folder etc. Messy but necessary for the way I work. 

You can also set up a backup to an external hard drive/ rocket stick or dongle 
etc so as to save elsewhere than your computer incase of hard drive problems. 

Every time I save a document it gets a slightly different name. As an 
example...  name, date, v 1,2 etc. V being version for that date. Messy but 
reliable. 

You may have a slightly earlier version somewhere which would avoid you having 
to redo everything. Can you do a general search w/ slightly different names?

You can also email versions to yourself. You will then have the file in your 
email as sent & received mail boxes. Do this at the end of the day. 

Good luck! 
We have all been there & it is a hard learned lesson. Everyone has this story 
too so don’t feel to bad just deal with it for the future.

any of that palettes can help you out.

On my Windows the files for the palettes (with the extension .soc) are in

If you have your own palette back it might be useful to copy it as standard.soc.

Because, you haven't set the *AutoCorrect* option to "*URL Recognition*"

Both should work.
By the way you can't *Cut and Paste* a website only *Copy and Paste* works.

If you want me to test load your document, send a copy to my home email address

The fact that the doc loads is a good sign.

I don't understand what you mean by this. Complete words are offered, even 
rare ones if they've been harvested from the user's documents.


If the questioner's "60minutePKG" and "60minutemassage" had both been 
harvested (I've excised the spaces to allow the effect to show), typing "60m" 
would show what is common between the possibilities, so just
"60minute", not either of the complete texts. S/he said that individual 
suggestions appeared, which is indeed what happens in a spreadsheet.


Display of what's in common has never been my experience. For example, 
I have 'accelerating' and 'acceleration' in my list, and as soon as I 
type 'acc' it offers 'accelerating', not just 'accelerati'. I've often 
wished it would display just what's in common. (I'm actually using LO 
at the moment but my recollection is that it's the same in AOO.)

I assumed that the message was about a word-processing document. If so, if 
you go to Tools > AutoCorrect > AutoCorrect Options there's a 'Word 
Completion' tab that seems to give control over what word completion is 
done.


I had wondered that but ruled it out, for various reasons:
o The default minimum word length is 10, so it is unlikely that entries as 
short as some of the questioner's examples would be harvested.


My minimum word length is 8, I don't remember setting it to that. 
Maybe hers was somehow set to a small value? Maybe unlikely.



o Only single word entries are harvested.


Good point.

o Complete suggestions are not provided: merely partial ones as far as they 
are common.


I don't understand what you mean by this. Complete words are offered, 
even rare ones if they've been harvested from the user's documents.



o The user would not be able to tab through suggestions, as s/he describes.

minute massage" based on other entries I have to make for other 60 
minute services. Is there any way I can sort through or even 
rearrange the order
of such automated fill ins? Right now, when I type "60" here is 
the order of auto fill suggestions:

60 HS
60/EVT
60 minute PKG
60min/AO
(I now have to tab through all of these to finally get to ;)
60 minute massage
Which is the main default of what I usually need. Please help! I 
would like to rearrange the 60 minute massage to pop up first 
every time, or to just delete ALL auto fills and then start fresh?


I'm having to guess that you are talking about entering data into a 
spreadsheet document, not a word processor one. Is that so?


I assumed that the message was about a word-processing document. If 
so, if you go to Tools > AutoCorrect > AutoCorrect Options there's a 
'Word Completion' tab that seems to give control over what word 
completion is done.


I had wondered that but ruled it out, for various reasons:
o The default minimum word length is 10, so it is unlikely that 
entries as short as some of the questioner's examples would be harvested.

o Only single word entries are harvested.
o Complete suggestions are not provided: merely partial ones as far 
as they are common.

o The user would not be able to tab through suggestions, as s/he describes.

Also, if you type 1 or 2 more characters after '60', the suggestions 
offered will be refined.

This facility offers possible entries as you type, taken from 
existing entries in other rows in the same column. No, I don't see 
any way to adjust the order of the suggestions. But yes, there is 
certainly a way to suppress this facility: just go to Tools | Cell 
Content > | AutoInput and toggle it off there.


If you find yourself - as it seems - often entering similar entries 
in a spreadsheet column, you may wish to consider using Data Validity.
o Select a cell range - perhaps all or most of a column - and go to 
Data | Validity... .

o On the Criteria tab, for Allow, select List.
o Enter your repertoire of allowable values in the Entries box.
o Select other options as desired.

Now when you move to a cell in the range to enter a value, you will 
see a down-arrow to its right. Click that with the mouse and select 
the particular entry you need. Note that this technique can avoid 
entering slight misspellings or variations that may create errors in 
your spreadsheet but can be quite difficult to spot.


I trust this helps.

You need to update OpenOffice your version is way out of date.

See this post for a solution to your problem
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17=75066=340454=gatekeeper#p340454

The problem is, I believe, caused by Gatekeeper on the Mac.

What was the other three attempts? Writing to this list or what?
And who are you referring to when you say ”you”? There is no Apache
OpenOffice support. This list is just users helping other users. I'm one of
those users (I'm actually an ex user, but that's hopefully not very
important) and some times I ask questions and some times I answer
questions, just like most people on the list.

You can? That's great. Doesn't the mean that the problem is solved? I just
wonder how you could find it in the ods file. Shouldn't you rather look in
the Apache OpenOffice Calc application?


> I don't have Word or

Lucky guy. I have both on my job computer and I hate both.

I miss that function.


You said you could find it (in your ods file), or did you mean something
else? Like what?

Okay, jokes aside, can you please better describe what that ”function”
actually did? I don't really understand what ”add certain lines to a total”
means. Certain lines? To a total? How? Can you give a simple example? What
is the function called in Excel?

I'm sure that if the function doesn't exist in Calc, it's possible to make

Not sure how much easier it could be made. Go to the home page of the

"I need help with my OpenOffice. Help is at hand whenever you need it."

You say "I can find that function.", but it sounds like you mean that
you cannot find the equivalent function in Calc.

Can you recall what the function might be called in Excel? A function to
"add certain lines to a total" doesn't give us much to go on, so can you
provide a more detailed description of how the function worked, or
outline the steps you took when using that function?

This will be the fourth try at attempting to contact you. You don't make it
easy. The following is my original message.
I used to use Word up until about 10 years ago when somebody suggested Open
Office to me. I much prefer this to Word. I do have one issue though. I
used Excel a lot. They had a function where I could add certain lines to a
total. On your .ods file, I can find that function. I don't have Word or
Excel on my PC now. I miss that function. I have Open Office version 4.1.6.
Does that have the function I want? I've checked all the options at the top
and can't find that function. Am I just missing seeing it? Please help
because I miss that function. Thank you.

Where are you trying to download from, what operating system are you using and 
WHAT IS THE TROUBLE YOU ARE HAVING!

Sorry for shouting but your message is less than what anyone can guess at to

Delete the "1", and then ">Insert >Page Number" at the appropriate place
on the second page. The correct page number should appear on every page.

From the description your document is most likely completely

created by AOO - see

What kind of document (ods, odt, odg, what?)
In what way is it ”fucked up”? Are some characters wrong or does it all
look like random characters or what?
Did you save your document before you closed when you saw that your
document was ”fucked up”?
Have you tried to open an older version of your document from your daily
incremental backups? What does those look like?

Thanks again for such a great apps.

You need to delete the folder "org.openoffice.script.savedState". It is
in the "Saved Application State" folder in your User/Library.

[zahra a]

hello did you have backup of your file?
or saved informations before crashing?
see openoffice tools, options, load-save, general save auto recovery
information every and also always create backup copy.

windows has the option for recovery of file and restore to the
previous state, i believe that mac also should has such option or at
least free external application for recovery lost data!
hope that help, God bless you and his infinite mercy be for you.

Dear Support Team,

I have used open office for a number of years and now predominantly use it for 
work documents.

I use OpenOffice on my MacBook Pro 13” running on Mac OS Sierra Version 10.12.6.

Open Office sadly crashed and I now cannot edit or save changes or convert any 
documents and even have to open them in an odd way. 

This is due to any actions being blocked by a pop up message that will not go 
away. 

The message is as follows:

"The last time you opened OpenOffice, it unexpectedly quit while reopening 
windows. 
Do you want to try to reopen its windows again?”

"If you choose not to reopen windows, you may have to open and position the 
windows yourself."

Regardless of whether I select Open or Don’t Reopen the message does not 
respond and stays on the screen.

I Googled the error and found many other users have had the same issue but 
their suggestions to fix it aren’t applicable. 

I would really appreciate if you could kindly advise ASAP.

Many thanks.

Kind regards, 

Narikai 

Please help me :-)

Subject: PLEASE HELP WITH THIS-ODT FILE WAS ALTERED AND IS NOW CORRRUPTED


Hi,


This morning when I opened my odt file there was a message from ASCII Filter 
and I mistakenly clicked yes. It appears this had modified the actual text 
content or just changed the text style from english to some other style format. 
The file is now opens in square symbols and it is unintelligable to read. There 
is nothing in english. The whole file has been altered. This file is for work 
so it is very important the work is not list.


The ASCII Filter can't interpret the character set used in the document, 
this is because your file is corrupt.
Most likely this happens when your system is shut down before OpenOffice 
was able to write everything to disk.
Keep in mind that OpenOffice compresses all files which takes some 
processing time.




Am not sure if the contents have disappeared or just the english has changed to 
some other style format and so the work is retrievable. I need the restored 
version from yesterday 8/3/2017 around 5:09 pm which is the version it was 
before I opened the file this morning.


Under Tools -> Options -> Load/Save -> General there is an option to 
create backup's
Backups are stored in the directory set under Tools -> Options -> 
OpenOffice -> Paths





Please can you have a look at the file and if you are able to restore please do 
so. The file is attached to this email.


I very much appreciate your help in this matter. I have very little to no 
understanding of this type of stuff so have no idea what must be done.


Thank you


Naj

If you remember nothing else from this guide, please make sure you remember 
this. Whenever you ask for technical support, make absolutely sure you state 
the following:


1) Which version of OpenOffice.org you are running.


Open office 4.1.2


2) What your operating system is (for example, Windows XP).


Windows XP


3) If there is an error, state clearly what it is and how we can reproduce it.


When the documed was opened a message from ASCII filter popped up. After that 
the file was not readable.


4) Do not attach files to mail messages. We absolutely need you to include this 
information before we can help you

Hi
My copy of Writer recently stopped insert current dates, page numbers, etc.  I 
attempted to get on the community forum to get a solution for this. However, I 
found that I am locked out from logging in.  As suggested, I tried to re 
register.  That was not allowed as my e-mail address was already in use, by me 
from the previous account.  Since my e-mail account was already in use by me, I 
am not allowed to request a password change either.  Then the forum website 
suggested contacting the administrator.  But attempts to find out how to 
contact the administrator could not work either without a address for that.
What are we suppose to do?  Can you forward this to the administrator to get 
this fixed?

If you have selected multiple sheets either by purpose or accidentally data 
entries or changes are done on all selected sheets.
This can be handy if you like to enter formulas on multiple sheets, but as you 
experienced it can be a disaster when you're not aware of it.

1. I found this on converting Lotus Approach.  It converts to Excel format; 
OpenOffice can read Excel files, so you can read these and convert into a 
database format supported by OpenOffice.

True if it's strictly an algorithmic process.  

Not necessarily true if you introduce variability from external sources [ping 
or response time on the network, or stock market fluctuations for example].  
Pseudo random implies repeatability.

In a prior life I came up with a scheme for a pseudorandom generator that used 
computer hardware measured values determined at power on to generate a 
non-repeatable seed.

I think we are converging on violent agreement!

Mathematicians will tell you that a set of numbers isn't truly random if 
duplicates are disallowed.  You seem to want a random ordering of the integers 
in the range.

Grab the spreadsheet Inglenook.OTS, that should be linked to this email,
and downloadable from Box.com.

An older, but working version can be found at
https://groups.io/g/ODF_Templates/files/Model%20Railroading

I think that
https://www.dropbox.com/s/n2k6zd4wxjigu8w/inglenook.ods?dl=0 contains a
working version.

On the page "IQ" is one solution to generating a sequence of random
numbers, without duplicating any numbers. For your specific use-case,
change the random number multiplier to 69, from whatever the formula
uses. Then, if there are less than 69 numbers in the initial column,
increase the number to 69, and create additional rows, and columns, as
needed.
In essence, you need to add one column, for every row that is added.

It might take as much as an hour or so playing with the spreadsheet, and
studying the formulas, to understand what it is doing.

This is the same idea as dealing cards from a shuffled pack. So all 
you need to do is take the set of numbers, shuffle them, and use as 
many as you require from the start of the shuffled list.


o Enter 1 into a spreadsheet cell.
o Fill down the column to 69.
o In a parallel column, enter =RAND() and fill that down too.
o Select both columns of cells.
o Go to Data | Sort... and sort on the column of random numbers.

I trust this helps.

Delete or rename your OpenOffice user profile. As you are using Windows do this 
by:

Close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter. Open File Explorer. Copy and paste 
%appdata%\OpenOffice\4 in the File Explorer Address Bar and press Enter. Delete 
or Rename the "user" folder. Start OpenOffice.

This cures most spellcheck problems.

Please help me resolve this problem

[Kathryn Silverton]

Greetings,

How do I correct the following:

There is a red underscore under every word, even when it is spelled 
correctly. The only way I have found to get rid of it is to go to

Tools
Language
For all text
None

This disables spell check completely.

Seeing the red underscore under every word is annoying and not helpful.

Thank you most kindly. Other than this issue, I very much enjoy using 
Open Office.


Sincerely,

kathryn

  How do I correct the following:
 
  There is a red underscore under every word, even when it is spelled 
  correctly. The only way I have found to get rid of it is to go to
  Tools
  Language
  For all text
  None
 
  This disables spell check completely.
 
  Seeing the red underscore under every word is annoying and not helpful.
 
  Thank you most kindly. Other than this issue, I very much enjoy using 
  Open Office.
 
  Sincerely,

 Katheryn,
 The list members would be able to be of better help if you
 included in your question the application that is red-underlining
 the words that you type.


I'm informed by private email that the problem was solved by deleting or 
renaming the OpenOffice User Profile.

 Hi,
 
 I have downloaded v.4 last week.
 
 PLEASE HELP!
 
 Problem #1: When I load my document all my GRAPHICS are empty.
 I have tried for several hours to turn this on with no luck. Can you PLEASE 
 help
 I load my file and I get an empty graphics box .. It has the path 
 name to my doc, but no graphic is present.
 How can I fix and make sure this stays “on”???

You should check /Tools/ Options /OpenOffice Writer : View and make sure 
Display : Graphics is checked. You should also adjust /Tools /Options 
/OpenOffice : Memory and increase the memory allocation to 256MB, decrease 
number of undo steps to 10 or 20, and adjust the other settings based on the 
information in  this Forum post
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7p=314079#p314079

It may be that your document has too many or too complex images, in which case 
you have a number of choices. 

Firstly, if your output is standard print, your photographic images need be no 
finer resolution than 180/210 dpi - anything more cannot be perceived by the 
eye under normal viewing conditions. Graphics, such as line drawings, can with 
advantage be 600 dpi. 

Secondly, it may be that your total use of images is exceeding the memory 
allocations, in which case I suggest splitting your document into smaller 
chunks, each containing a smaller count of images - be advised by the above 
posting.

 
 Problem #2: When I am working in v.4 the program “SHUTS DOWN”, or “CRASHES”.
 When I restore I lost the work I did prior to crash..
 Can someone PLEASE HELP. This happens approximately every 20 minutes when I 
 am manipulating the style.


More importantly, you need to cure the crashing. The standard cure is to 
recommend that (even on an unstable new installation) the User Profile be 
deleted or renamed. Details are given in
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74t=12426
This cures a surprisingly large proportion of OpenOffice problems. 

If that doesn't cure your instability, you need to start Windows in Safe Mode, 
and see if OpenOffice runs stable in that mode. If it does, you have to look 
for interference from some other program/driver/service running on your 
computer when it is started in Windows normal mode. 

Once you have defined your styles you should not need to tweak them - this is 
the purpose of styles.

  
 Can someone PLEASE HELP
 
 Thank You
 Ron
