Re: OpenOffice is unreliable
OpenOffice has a backup location where you can recover your latest versions of your work. You access it from Options - General - Paths You can see where backup resides and get yuour documents. Also when you suffer from unexpected crashes, you are always presented with a crash report to fill out. At this stage this is not nearly a crash report which is completely useless to learn from it.

So very sorry to hear about your problems and now your abandoning of OpenOffice. It would be be very helpful to us if you tell us a bit more about your environment : OS version, RAM size, etc . -- so we can determine how to correct whatever is causing this to happen.

Good bye OpenOffice! /snip/ You might want to look for SoftMaker Free Office, if it's still available. I used it for a little while, then I bought the full version. It's about $80. Word Processor, Spread Sheet, and Presentations. I think that's not a bad price for an office suite. I like the way it works. It's not so stubborn about styles like OO or LO. And it reads and writes MS formats, including docx. The folks there will answer questions, if you have a problem you can't figure out how to solve. I think you can use styles if you want to. I don't.
