Peter,
Thank you very much for your instructions. Open Office has been removed
from my computer now. I had installed it when someone told me I had to have
it to join a program he was promoting. But when I saw how much space it was
taking on my computer, I questioned him about the necessity. He then told
me I don't need it for anything, he just thought I'd like to use it.
It may be good for some things, but I don't have time to figure it out or
the space to keep it.
Previously, I had asked several times for help on Open Office, but no one
ever responded. Thank you for your kindness.
Mary Compton

What version of windows are you using?
If Vista, then click on the "Start" button, then click on "Control Panel"
and then you may need to select "Classic View" on the top left. You can
them
click on the "Programs and Features" icon, then scroll down to OpenOffice
and double click it, and follow the prompts to remove it.
For windows XP, you do a similar thing, until you are in Control Panel,
from
there click on Add & Remove programs, scroll down to OpenOffice select it,
and click on remove.
If for some reason it won't remove, then simply shut down the computer.
Restart it and go through the process again, this often allows you to
remove
programs windows failed to before. It has to do with the way Windows sores
information etc.
I hope this helps.
Kind Regards Peter.

I just need to know how to remove Open Office from my computer. I can

Hi William,
Have you tried to rename your configuration directory for OOo 3 ? Its
name is .openoffice.org (hidden file) in your home.

Earlier today I filed a bug report, but I'm wondering whether I should
have brought up the problem here first.
Whenever I try to create a new writer, calc, or impress document and
save it as a new .odt, .ods, or .odp file, I cannot. I bring up the
sabe file dialog, name the file, and click the button to save it, but
the screen only blinks and nothing happens. I can save in any other
format listed (or I think so) and usually use a Micro$oft format. I
then have to open THAT document using OOo 2.4 (which I reinstalled on
both systems just for this purpose). Using that version I can save
the file as the appropriate .odt, .ods, or .odp format and then I can
close the 2.4 ap and restart OOo 3.1, open it with that version, and
continue.
This is not a permissions issue and root gets exactly the same results
as my regular login ID does.
There are no error messages and no warnings that I am aware of.
The same problems occurs on multiple machines both running Fedora FC10.
It occurred with OOo 3.0 and now with 3.1.0 [OOO310m11 (Build 99399)]
(x86_64 version) This is repeatable 100% of the time and has occurred
at least scores of times.
This could be an environmental issue on these two machines since they
are similar, but I have no way to test that theory at present
as the other Linux boxes I have cannot currently (for employment
reasons) have OOo installed on them.
This did not occur with the fedora-fc10-x86_64 version, but it had
other, worse problems (stylist was badly broken) and I removed it from
the system before installing the OOo download version.
I suspect there is also a small code issue involved, as the failure to
create the file without any warning, error message, or explanation is
probably not the likely expected behavior of the code involved.
This does not occur on the windows machine I have or on those of my
wife or my son so I expect that it is confined to Linux.
Thanks for any help,
