Dear Marie,

I’ve had the 'do you want to reopen' or 'do you want to recover' messages from 
time to time, but the recovery has always worked for me so I’ve never had to 
fix your problem. But I offer the following suggestions:

1.   Have you tried restarting your Mac to see if that clears the problem? 
My apologies for stating the obvious, but just in case you are an ‘always on’ 
person and that slipped your mind.

2.  If the app is really stuck and nobody else offers a better solution, I 
would uninstall OpenOffice (i.e. drag it from the apps folder to the trash) and 
then download and install a fresh copy of the app. (And hope that the problem 
doesn’t carry through in any settings or extensions that weren’t replaced when 
you replaced the app.) I’m still using ADSL internet so it takes a while to 
download a new copy of an app, but it’s probably better to just do that than to 
spend even more time and personal energy chasing a ‘better’ solution.

3.  In the unlikely event that installing a virgin copy of OpenOffice 
doesn’t fix the problem, I would try replacing OO with LibreOffice, on the 
chance that might fix it.

I haven’t been down into the engine room of a Mac since OS-X replaced the 
Classic OS, but simple work-arounds like these usually work for me when I have 
a problem that has to be fixed and I don’t know how to fix it. It may be 
equivalent to using a sledge hammer instead of precision tools, but if it works 
without doing any damage, then why not use it?

Peter.

This often happens when there was a hasty shutdown or crash of the computer. 
Click on the Apple icon and select Force Quit. Close any program/app other than 
Finder that is running. Then look in the folder that you store files in for 
files that have ~lock. in their name and delete them (probably just the problem 
file). Restart your computer, start OpenOffice, and then open the file.

Make sure you let the program completely shut down before shutting down your 
computer. Also get in the habit of saving your files and shutting down 
OpenOffice when you are walking away from your computer for extended periods of 
time.

As a courtesy to you I have sent you a copy of this message. As a courtesy to 
me please only reply to users@openoffice.apache.org so that all users can 
assist you if you need further assistance.

If you cannot use your computer, then do not use it or call technican
service if you still want to use it.

Hi -- I can not use my home computer (I Mac OS X) past several days because the 
OpenOffice is stuck. It won't open or close.  
A box appears with this note
 The last time you opened OpenOffice, it unexpectedly quit 
while reopening windows.  Do you want to try to reopen its windows again?
   Don't ReopenReopen

It won't change, no matter which little box I click at the bottom.  
Please help me,  Thanks you!Marie Still

Nein.
Selbst erstelle Tabellensammlung als Vorlege, mit recht einfachen 
Berechnungen. Im wesentlichen Addition, Subtraktion, Multiplikation und 
Prozentrechnung.
Erstellt wurden die Musterdokumente schon vor vielen Jahren - 10 ist das 
bestimmt schon her.

Gerade mal bei mir nachgeschaut:
Da gibt es nichts zu "lösen". Der Menüpunkt ist inaktiv.

Hallo an alle Mitleser

älteres MacBook Air mit MacOs 10.15.7
OO 4.1.12

Bei jedem Start von Calc, und auch beim öffnen von Tabellendokumenten,
wird mit einer Art PopUp aufgefordert die Extensions zu aktualisieren.
Solchen sind aber n_i_c_h_t installiert.
Kann man diese sinnlose Meldung irgendwie unterbinden?

btw.
Gerade nachgeschaut:
Auch bei OO 4.1.13 auf Debian GNU Linux kommt diese Aufforderung.

Soweit ich weiß, hat das nichts mit OO selbst zu tun, sondern mit dem
Tabellendokument (oder einer Vorlage), in dem eine Art Verknüpfung mit
anderen "Extensions" abgespeichert wurde. Diese kann man lösen durch
,  und den Button .

Liebe Grüße, Peter
