------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Aug 31 07:04:23 -0700 2006 ------- I tried to open an OOo text document by double-clicking it (I usually open it through OOo's open command in the file menu). OOo/X11 was not running at the time. The file resides on an external hard disk, pathname: /Volumes/Extra HD/Documents/Stuff/Mo' Stuff/Articles/foobar.odt Although OOo (and X11) started up fine I got an error message displayed by OpenOffice.org 2.0 in a dialog box: sh:-c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `" sh:-c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file The dialog gives the choice of two buttons "Edit" and "OK". If I click "OK", OOo quits and X11 is still running. If I click "Edit", Script Editor opens and displays an error dialog: Open Dictionary Unable to read the dictionary of the application or extension because it is not scriptable. ...with an "OK" button as the only option. After clicking "OK" then another error dialog pops up, still from Script Editor: The document"droplet.rsrc" could not be opened. Script Editor cannot open files in the "Document" format. Now I realize, I think, that the OpenOffice.org 2.0 file is some kind of Applescript thingy and those errors are Applescript related. But the real problem, I believe, is the apostrophe after "Mo" in that pathname. OOo can't deal with it. I get these errors when double-clicking on any OOo created file (or MS Office file) that is in that "Mo' Stuff" folder. I can double-click on any other OOo (or MS Office) file that's not in "Mo' Stuff" and OOo will run and open it. I can also open files from that folder through OOo's File->Open menu command. And I can create/save files in Mo' Stuff. I justs can double- click to open them. I usually find it easier to open files in that directory through the open command of OOo, but there are times when I have that folder open and I can't believe I've *never* opened an OOo file from there by double-clicking it; therefore I'm thinking I must've double-clicked an OOo file before and it worked and that this is a new error in 2.0.3. I've never filed an issue bnefore and may have done some things wrong.
