Sent: Wednesday, July 29, 2009 8:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Liveaboard] Open Office was NOAA and the Cap'n and Maxsea I'm glad to find out it isn't just me that has a problem with Cap'n in some configurations. I got all those charts on a disc and couldn't even get the disc to work. I have had really good experiences with Cap'n over the last 10 years and have moved it from one laptop to another, starting with a Toshiba running Windows 98. But since my main laptop got wet about 2 years ago, I have had nothing but trouble. >> Funny how Open Office has done so well. But then, it works at least as >> well as or BETTER than Windows with absolutely NO fuss. Lesson there >> somewhere I'm sure. Based on recommendations from here, I tried Open Office. Because of some kind of a problem with my main computer, I had to go back to the original install, and while I backed up my C drive first, apparently I didn't get all the codes reinstalled correctly because my MS Office 2007 no longer is 'authorized'. I can't get the program to accept any kind of serial number code. I would be willing to buy it if I didn't have to pay an arm and a leg, but getting MS Office that has Access included without paying through the nose seems impossible. This means that the Access data file with information on the hundreds of other CSYs that I have been keeping for the last 10 years is basically inaccessible to me, and I can't get Open Office to deal with this database, other than to put it into a spreadsheet. I am about to give up on ever accessing this information again. I also need to be able to save Excel spreadsheets after I enter the data. I have been unable to find anything out about how to handle this program. The FAQs don't help much. grandma Rosalie S/V RosalieAnn, Leonardtown, MD CSY 44 WO #156 http://home.mindspring.com/~gmbeasley/id1.html _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
