Document Recovery Issue
I've checked in before with screen reader accessibility questions, and the problem that has popped up is aggravated by that. I have a little usable vision, which enables me to do only limited tasks with Open Office. Last night I opened a document in Writer. Since I couldn't read it with my screen reader, I attempted to copy the text into Notepad. For some reason, the text didn't copy. I can't remember what happened when I closed the Writer document, but now when I open any Open Office application, I get a message about document recovery. I've deleted the document I was trying to copy from. It's gone from Recycle bin deliberately as well. My screen resolution isn't set for optimal use with Open Office, so I can't see buttons at the bottom of the screen that shows the message about document recovery. However, I've figured out that by striking S, then N, I can open up the document or spread sheet I'm actually trying to work with. That led to other problems this morning. I tried to print out a spread sheet so I could read it with magnification apart from the computer, but I couldn't get it to print at all. I couldn't tab to whatever control I needed to make it work. I don't know how much of this is related to my lack of ability to access the programs with my screen reader, but is it necessary to uninstall and reinstall to resolve any of this?

Re: Document Recovery Issue
John, have you tried changing magnification through the Zoom slider at the bottom right corner of the OpenOffice screen? That should adjust the font size on your screen, till it's big enough for you to see. Sorry I can't help with your other issue. I assume you have already made certain you are using Apache OpenOffice, and not another application with a similar name? marina [message also sent to kc0...@centurytel.net (John W.

I'll see what I can do to make that work when I get the document recovery issue resolved. When I open the Open Office icon, I have to go through the steps (S N) as described before. Then it opens Writer, not the panel that lets me choose the program I want. By the way, I got 4 copies of your message. My email client had a spaz attack and sent it twice to both email addresses --ie yours and that of the mailing list! Apologies for that. I'm not really up-to-date with the Windows operating system, so I hope others will step in with suggestions for your document recovery issue. If you have a copy of the original .zip/compressed archive with the program, seems to me it wouldn't hurt to uninstall and do a clean install.

The zoom is at 20%. Click in the middle of the slider on the vertical line to get 100%, or use + or - to get another percent. That is a view setting and independent of the font size.

yes, it is compatable. Be very careful which site you use from which to download OO. Please use only: https://www.openoffice.org/ which will redirect to the SourceForge site.

line spacing
We have created a document in open office text with single line spacing. When we paste this document in to a template created in word the spacing is 1.5 we have right clicked to high lite single line but this changes nothing.Is it possible to change the format when going from open office to word ? Thank you
Document Recovery Issue
This follows up on my earlier inquiry about the message I was getting every time I tried to start Open Office, which referred to a document recovery failure. It came about as a result of a crash, and the error reporting feature apparently doesn't work. In doing a little research, I found that it was necessary to change my user profile. Uninstalling and reinstalling wouldn't have worked. The article I found is at https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?p=58403#p58403 Look under the title Setting the user profile. I've been able to successfully fix the problem. What I don't know is whether I should delete the file now named user.old . And I don't know if I should try copying sub folders into the new User folder to see which one was causing the problem. Maybe I'll leave well enough alone for now.

Is it possible the 1.5 line spacing is set in the Word template? Also, you might want to check the Style settings, both in OO and in Word, to make sure line spacing is what you want for the active style. For details on styles, open the Help menu and type Styles in the Search box. This should be the same in both programmes.

Very advanced users may want to copy some of their customizations from the old profile to the new one, but they are not completely independent, so if you don't know the internal details of a user profile I would simply rely on the new profile only, and delete the old one.
