Good point, Wade. Can you tell us, how would one get technical support for OO?

Thank you!

Lisa - this is a public group - not tech support.
Please tell us: what computer os you are using? Have you had any updates?
What version of OO are you using? And, how much ram is on your system?

Re: Open Office Draw Documents

[David Belina]

Sounds like you may have a memory issue if you have lots of drawing in one 
file.  I had that issue with the OO Presentations on a Intel computer with just 
4 GB of memory.  I had to up the settings for memory 
(Options>OpenOffice>Memory) and change the memory per object (in Graphics Cache 
and undo.  That stopped OO Presenttions from crashing on me.

Re: Open Office types in the word Mac every time I type was Help

[Web Shari]

Hopefully :)

Tools > AutoCorrect Options

On the Replace tab

Search for was and see if it's there.

If it is showing as a replacement with MAC, highlight it (select it) and 
click on Delete.

Best not to allow any need for file recovery.  OpenOffice file format is 
complex and takes a little longer to generate than a flat file.  Do not allow a 
computer to sleep with an OO file open.  Close your file, then OpenOffice. When 
shutting down computer, wait for disk activity to cease before closing laptop 
lid or powering off a desktop, this was necessary with conventional hard disk 
drives which internally buffered the data and the time (a few seconds) was 
necessary to permit the internal buffers to flush to disk before the power was 
cut.  It may not be necessary, or as necessary, with SSD drives.  But I'm old 
fashioned, and always close down leisurely.

Rory, thanks. Great info. Just bought HP Notebook with SSD drive. Much quicker, 
but looks like recovering stuff is iffy per you email info. I downloaded ODT

Your file is corrupt, possibly damaged due to over-hasty power-off of computer 
or closure of laptop lid, before the OO housekeeping has been written to disk.

Try the methods in this tutorial
See 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 will recover your file as it was when you last opened or 
you last saved it.

Re: Update links when loading / master documents

Hi,

Eventually, I tried the 4.1.1 version from winpenpack and no change at all,
even with lowering the macro security option.

Dann musst Du für jede Folie unter Folienübergang-Nächste Folie (erreichbar über
Menü: Bildschirmpräsentation-Folienübergang) einstellen: "Automatisch mach ...
Sekunden".

Indem Du sie als *.odp speicherst? Ich verstehe das konkrete Problem nicht, bin
aber auch kein Experte für Impress.
