Can't open OpenOffice
Dear Apache, I rarely use anything else except Writer, for fairly simple documents, and have never had any problems. Now, however, the program refuses to open, whatever I do, both Writer and the overall program. I click on a file name or the shortcut icon, and it seems as if it is starting to load, but then it just disappears again. I have tried diff --- New Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail replacement - get it here: https://www.oeclassic.com/ erent documents, different folders, different drives, but it is always the same. Obviously this is disastrous. Not being able to access any of my files stymies anything I am trying to do, other than simple emails like this one. Please help. Frank Jackson

Re: Can't open OpenOffice files
Greetings: I am 77 and not very computer literate but have been using OO for some time word processing etc. I downloaded 4,01 Beta and then 4.01 which I have been using fine. I was waiting a bit before downloading the last update. Today, I deleted the Beta because it was not needed but I have now found that I can't open my open office files. I tried the open with approach and now can open some of the files with Word Pad which must have been on the computer when I got it about a year ago. I had been following the discussion about some folks having this type of problem and it was suggested to put in a new user profile. I have followed the directions down get to Appdata but cannot find the user file in the list. I do hope that there is help out there for me to get me on the right track.

RE: Can't open OpenOffice files
It sounds like you deleted the only version that was actually installed. 4.01 would have installed atop 4.01 Beta. How did you remove it? Did you use Uninstall in the Windows Control Panel tool for Removing Programs? I suggest you simply download 4.1.1 and install it now. That will also repair the file associations. (WordPad also opens ODF files). -Original Message- From: Bud Oliver [mailto:budoli...@shaw.ca] Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2014 12:41 To: users@openoffice.apache.org Subject: Re: Can't open OpenOffice files Greetings: I am 77 and not very computer literate but have been using OO for some time word processing etc. I downloaded 4,01 Beta and then 4.01 which I have been using fine.

Re: Can't open OpenOffice files
There are many ways to do it. a) Re-install OpenOffice over itself. b) Manually assign the file-type to the program. The first one is a bit more intrussive but is faster. The second one will be safer but will take more steps. File association relies on the Operating system and NOT on OO. So the steps has to happen in windows. To perform the file association follow this steps: - Go to Control Panel on Windows - Go to Control Panel Home Default Programs Set Associations. Select a file type in the list and click Change Program. - Select the extensions you neeed (doc, docx, odt - OpenOffice Writer, etc) For further details go here: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/change-file-associations-windows On 11/12/14, Bud Oliver budoli...@shaw.ca wrote: Greetings: I am 77 and not very computer literate but have been using OO for some time word processing etc. I downloaded 4,01 Beta and then 4.01 which I have been using fine.
