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 everyone I am using the cash book xls OpenOffice 


OpenOffice is an office package which contains Writer, Calc, Draw and 
Presentation modules.

Cash book is not part of it and xls refers to Microsoft Spreadsheets.

Without knowing the Cashbook application there is not much we can do to 
assist you, probably it’s better to go to the creator of Cashbook


My problem is this , my gst deduction must be worked out at 15% Now 
for some reason the cash book is working out the gst allot less than 
15 % for me . Can anybody please explain how I go about setting it to 
continually calculate at 15% gst
