After a system restart, am unable to open a text file previously backed up
I need help in recovering a text file, a book, I have been writing and saving every 15 minutes or so. My laptop running Windows 10 version 1511, IE 11.20.10586.0 and using Apache Open Office 4.1.2 had a abrupt browser blank-out. Before restarting my system to clear the problem, I saved the Open Office file. After restarting my system, Open Office didn’t have any files I have been working on in the platform que. I went to “documents” and opened the file I was wanting to return to and it said it was restricted and could only be seen in a read-only mode. However, when I said I wanted to see a copy, all that was displayed were screens of “X”s. Can you advise me how to recover? Thanks, John Sent from Mail for Windows 10

You might also want to try WRAP if cells have multi-word strings, or "foldable" arithmetic strings.

Roske The scaling of the spreadsheet is controlled by a little slider at bottom right on OpenOffice window, or by double or right clicking in the % box at bottom right hand corner and selecting a preferred scaling factor. "100%" or "optimum" are good starting points. -- Rory O'Farrell - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
My Preference For Version 3.4.1 of OpenOffice
I found that with both version 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 of OpenOffice the basic spreadsheet used cells that were incredibly small and the text size was equally small to fit the cells. This led me to have to reformat the sheet prior to use so that I could see what I was doing. I have therefore reverted to version 3.4.1 which does not have this "problem". Furthermore this version has an constant SUM function at the bottom of the screen which automatically shows the total of whichever cells have been selected. I find this very useful. I will watch for future versions to see if the above have been remedied. A. Roske
