Hi there, I had an outdated version of openoffice installed and I decided to update it yesterday thinking, hey, I never update these things, let's give it a go. Well, now I can't find my openoffice writer. I can open openoffice and select "text document" but I can't directly open up the writer anymore, as the file doesn't seem to exist. All I used was the writer program (as I am a writer and the openoffice program was by far the most comfortable writing program I have found.)
On your desktop select New -> Shortcut and past "C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenOffice 4\program\swriter.exe" into the field.
Now you have a desktop icon that starts Writer with a new document
I've tried uninstalling the latest version and I tried each version down to 4.0.0, and I'm fairly certain I had a version above that, but they all did the same and I could no longer access the writer directly. I currently have the latest version installed, but I thought I'd send out an email before looking for a new writer program - I really did enjoy it and I'm not entirely sure how to get it back, so if you could help me, that would be fantastic. I don't care much what version I get aha.
