HELP! required with Open Office use.

[Ian Fuller]

I have downloaded the Open Office 4.1.3 from the old 4.1.2 . . . - or at 
least I think I have . . ./
I have an attachment in a statement which it does NOT automatically open 
when I choose  " open with "   OPEN OFFICE

It prompt with this message:



and I do not know what to do next.
With 4.1.2 over the last year it has automatically opened.
Obviously I am not computer literate  and I am a senior citizen
Can you please tell me the simple thing I am not doing?
Thank you,
Regards,
Ian Fuller
A great fan of Open Office!

Urgent need to save doc...

[Celeste Cantor-Stephens]

Hi support team,

I'm in need of some quite urgent help...

OpenOffice has just crashed on my laptop. I'm using a mac air, and see the
turning, coloured circle when I go to Open Office. The OpenOffice word
document I have been working on - previously saved to my computer (mac air)
and external hard-drive - had a notification about lack of space. Because I
opened extra OpenOffice docs (from the dock) I can't see it any more. I've
deleted files and closed everything but OpenOffice. The document I am
working on - which contains my master's thesis - due to be submitted in
under a month!! - has disappeared from folders on my computer. As soon as
it crashed I tried to move copies on my hard-drive, which was probably a
mistake because that particular file seems to have gone from there too. I
don't want to force OpenOffice to close because I absolutely can't loose
this work! Please advise... I hope that all makes sense...

Huge thanks in advance,

Celeste

Re: Red Underlining

Couldn't this routine be encapsulated into an auto-response to the
never-ending spellcheck blather, and "be done with it"?

OO Calc and XLSX file text duplication

[Bob Poulton]

I have been sent a rather complex protected XLSX spreadsheet with 1,053 
formulae.  They work fine.  Three cells have a text string.  When I open the 
XLSX file with OO, these three strings are twice as long as they should be 
(concatenated to themselves).  

I had the author (who is using Excel) save and send me a copy with file type 
XLS, and OO does not have the problem with this file.  So it appears to me that 
OO is has a glitch with XLSX file types.  Is anyone interested in this problem? 
 Unfortunately, I do not have a recent copy of Excel.

Your file is damaged beyond repair.  Use a backup.

Sorry Rahul, your file is totally corrupted and cannot be repaired,
because it only contains 422,592 zero bytes.
You will need to restore a copy from your backup files.
