Now Save this (in .odt format). Does this reopen correctly? If not, start by deleting or renaming your OpenOffice User profile. If 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. Rename the "user" folder. Start OpenOffice. For other operating systems detail on the User Profile are given in https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=12426 If that does not cure the problem, a corrupt OpenOffice installation is the suspect and you should download a fresh copy of OpenOffice which should be downloaded _only_ from http://www.openoffice.org/download This site will redirect you to a SourceForge site and your download will start in about five seconds with no need to click on anything else (Do NOT click on anything else). One can and should verify that the downloaded file is as it left the code factory by the methods described in http://www.openoffice.org/download/checksums.html If the test shows that you can make, save and reopen a fresh file using 4.1.2 but not files created by the earlier version, Try deleting or renaming the OpenOffice user profile (as instructed above). Uf that does not work, have the earlier files been transferred from another computer or restored from a backup? What format was used to save them (three letter extension)? -- Rory O'Farrell <[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
