Re: your personal settings or your personal settings are locked.
Thank you. Deleting the lock file worked wonderfully.

Re: Formatting for USA Telephone Numbers
Correction After applying the recommended format, (###) ###-, and entering 1234567890 the displayed value will be (123) 456-7890. No idea how/why I typed what's in my original answer. My apology for any confusion I may have caused.

your personal settings or your personal settings are locked.
I just downloaded a new copy of Apache OpenOffice 4.1.11 from Sourceforge. Can someone tell me what to do about this: Either another instance of OpenOffice is accessing your personal settings or your personal settings are locked. Simultaneous access can lead to inconsistencies in your personal settings. Before continuing you should make sure user 'Desktop-S7U3OHI/Lhull' closes OpenOffice on host 'DESKTOP-S7U30HI'. Do you really want to continue? --- My previous instance of Windows 10 became corrupt due to a power failure. Some of my stuff was able to be salvaged, but I don't think I have a way to get my settings back, or do you know how to do that? We backed up the drive but probably didn't restore the right file for OO. Linda

As soon as possible try the methods in this tutorial https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=71=85038 for detailed instructions on how to a) use Previous Versions (W7 and later) to recover previous versions of the file. b) recover your file as it was when you last opened or saved it, or as it was when it was last saved with AutoRecovery; c) find previous versions of the file in the folder it is located in, but which have since been deleted; d) un-delete the temporary files AOO wrote while you were editing the file, and then deleted. This may recover your file as it was when you last opened or you last saved it. -- Rory O'Farrell
Re: Formatting for USA Telephone Numbers
To format a ten digit number as (555) 555-1212 use the following format code (###) ###- Enter the ten digits into the cell, e.g. 1234567890, and the number will be displayed as (120) 456-7890 NOTE: area code must not start with zero. Zero in any other position will maintain the format. There is a space between the right paren ) and the next #. To enter only ten digits and have the US dialing prefix, +1 displayed use the following format code "+1" (###) ###- Enter the ten digits into the cell, e.g. 1234567890, and the number will be displayed as +1 (123) 456-7890 NOTE: there must be a space between the second quote " and left paren (. If there is no space then the formatted result will be +1(123) 456-7890 On Wed, Feb 23, 2022 at 9:33 PM Vince@Verizon wrote: > Hi: > > How do I format cells for entry of USA Telephone Numbers, as: 1 > (###) ###*-* > > whenever, for example,I have typed a ten-digit number, e.g., 1234567890 > (no spaces, no negative/minus sign, no parenthesis, by use of the number > keypad (NumLk is enabled). > > Yes, I want the "1" prefix, the area code to appear within parenthesis, > and a negative/minus sign between the 3rd digit and the 4th digit.
