I have been experiencing crashes of the Open Office program. They seem to becoming more often. What is happening to it? When a crash occurs I loose all the info I had put in. Thank you for a prompt response, Ronald Wiernusz 570-814-9299 Sent from Mail

Re: Does OO runs on MACBOOK AIR

Re: Perhaps Uninterruptible Power Supplies Should be used with AOO for Non-Portable Computers

Leon, Many thanks for this tip. Reviewing my AutoRecovery setting, I noticed it was set to update every 15 minutes. I have tightened that to every 5 minutes. This may save me some real headaches in the event of a future crash. Ron Tanguay > On Sep 5, 2020, at 10:04 AM, Leon Zar wr

Re: Hunspell Spellchecker

Thankyou for your replies. I have checked 'Available language modules' and Hunspell Spellchecker is not there. So I'm back to my original question: how can I get Hunspell Spellchecker into Open Office? Thanks Ron On Tue, 11 Sep 2018 at 22:20, Brian Barker wrote: > At 18:2

I am using AOO 4.1.5 on Windows 8.1 I'll be grateful to be told how to install Hunspell Spellchecker. In following up a particular issue, the advice given was to go to Writing Aids and ensure Hunspell Spellchecker is ticked, However, it didn't appear in the drop-down list. Thankyou Ron

Re:How to open zipped file
