Thanks Brian, for the prompt reply 3 days ago.. I confirm that I did have at least 2 "letters" in different cells, at the time I tried to get a "print preview", & also, there was no "print area" designated in any sheet in the workbook.
There is a real problem somewhere, because, about 4 hours ago, I was able to get into a workbook & make changes & print; but now I am unable to * even get into * any of my workbooks. Perhaps it will be OK again if I shutdown & restart; but it is the recurrence that I am concerned about. Do you have anybody who can access my computer remotely & see if they can determine if something has happened to cause this ? The only recent events I can think of are: loading the upgraded open office & a Java update & i- tunes update. Don't notice any issue in using internet browser or games etc. Thanks, Regards, Ron On Wed, Sep 12, 2012 at 5:10 PM, Brian Barker <[email protected]>wrote: > At 14:23 12/09/2012 -0600, Ron Forhmzway wrote: > >> I have been using "openoffice" off & on for several months.
