You probably want to open docs. If that's the case see the following URL:

If you needed to set your OpenOffice language to "English 
(Australia)", it may be that your original Windows installation was 
incorrectly set to Microsoft's default US locale and language. If you 
had configured Windows to Australian settings, these may have instead 
been inherited automatically by OpenOffice. When Windows 10 was 
installed, one of the first things that should have been done - if 
this didn't happen automatically - was to ensure that the regional 
and language settings in Windows itself were again set appropriately.


I'm surprised that upgrading Windows should change your OpenOffice 
options, but perhaps - since you say this was done without your 
knowledge - you will not know whether a fresh installation of 
OpenOffice was made or whether your OpenOffice profile was 
unhelpfully deleted by whoever did the job in your absence. You can 
easily reset the language options, of course - exactly as you 
describe. But the best way is to get the Windows settings right first.


This changed formatting such as dates in all my OpenOffice Calc 
files. When I reset the formatting in the Options all the dates 
became corrupted and ended up being shown as a four year and one day 
difference in everything. The only thing I could do then, apart from 
going through all the settings for OpenOffice in the Options in case 
anything else had been changed, was to start new files for 
everything I was currently wanting to use from the date I found the 
errors. The old files I have retained are of very little use to me now.


You are right to say that you should have been able to attend to this 
- very easily, I hope - in the OpenOffice options. Dates are stored 
as the number of days from a date origin. There are three choices for 
this origin - for consistency with other software - and these are 
provided at Tools | Options... | OpenOffice Calc | Calculate | Date. 
(The one-day difference between one pair is to cope with Microsoft's 
erroneous belief, built into Microsoft Excel and itself inherited 
from Lotus 1-2-3, that 1900 was a leap year and that 29 February 1900 
existed. It didn't.) One pair of these options differs by exactly 
four years and one day, so resetting this to whatever you had 
previously used may have solved your problem instantly and without 
reconstructing your spreadsheets.


I sympathise with your predicament and don't mean to belittle your 
problem. Indeed, these matters are so interdependent on various 
settings and software versions that - despite my confident belief - I 
do not guarantee what I've suggested.

How do I read docs

In finder, select a spreadsheet file and either use Cmd-I or right click to get 
the info panel for the file.

Near the bottom of the  window, there is a 'Open with' section.  Select OO and 
click the 'Change All' button.  You may need to do this both for filetype .xls 
and .xlsx

Always remember to close all parentheses. We're not paying to air condition the

Background colour of Dialog Items

[Rory O'Farrell]

A query has come up on the OpenOffice en-Forum: is there any way to change the 
background colour of Dialog items, in particular a CheckBox.  No matter what 
colours are selected in its Properties, the CheckBox is displayed as a white 
square; can this white be changed to some other colour?  If so, how?

I have experimented with changing the default OO desktop (usually grey "out of 
the box") and the Paper colour, but these do not affect the CheckBox 
background.  The white background also shows up on some other Dialog items 
(Option buttons to name only one).
