As a long time Mac User I think you will be okay. the operating system
doesn't look for a specific version of an application it just looks for the
suffix at the end of the file name to know which application to open.

If your text files have. ODT at the end of it you should be fine.

[Ahrina Kay Nielsen]

Can I uninstall version 3 on my mac now that I’ve loaded the new 4 without 
losing all my documents that I created on v 3??

It’s probably a silly question from your perspective but I’ve got MANY writing 
projects that I don’t want to lose…

Thank you for your help..

This won't solve your immediate problem, but how about  getting a 
password manager -- like KeyPass -- and creating an entry there (Keypass 
can even generate the password if you like) before you assign a password 
to the file.

RE: Quick Question

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

To expand on Rory's answer,

If your password was short and memorable (even though you have forgotten it), 
there are utilities that will try better-than-brute-force solutions at opening 
password-protected OpenDocument Format documents such as those produced by 
Apache OpenOffice.  

We do not provide such a utility.  Some of them provide simple attacks for 
free, may not provide a solution in reasonable time and have to be stopped, and 
have premium versions that make better attacks and can still fail.

However, since you probably did not employ a cryptographically-safe password, 
such a utility may succeed.

The Apache OpenOffice project does not recommend any such utility.  You should 
take precautions installing such a tool and use it at your own risk.

Yep, that would be a problem. I was thinking that if it were protected from 
editing, copy-paste would be a workaround. 
But if the doc is protected from opening at all, that won’t work.

You can’t. 

But you should be able to copy the contents (Edit->Select all; Edit->copy) and 
paste the contents into a new text document. 
Note: I haven’t tested this, but I don’t believe protection extends to the

There is effectively no way to break an OpenOffice password except by using 
brute force, which may (depending on computer speed) tie up your computer for 
days or longer.

Hi!

I have been trying for over five years to access a file I created and put a
password protected lock on.
I can no longer remember the password I used to lock the file, so I cannot
get into it. Is there any way you guys could help me unlock it or access
what is in it again? It would mean the world to me. It's an important
document to me that I would hate to completely lose.

Re: Quick question

[Jean Lear]

Hello,
I do not know if this will be the help needed.  I do a lot of work with
Calc and in some columns some of the cells contain text that will
overflow.  I go to the top of the column and highlight the whole column
keep the highlighting on.  Then to to Format > Cells > Alignment > tick in
Wrap Text Automatically > Click OK.
Now anything entered in cells in that column will wrap if the contents are
more than the column width and the row height will adjust automatically.
If there is a cell with contents that are only one line that row height
will not be altered..

The simplest solution is to make the cell in row 30 contain a blank

I don't think that will work.  Maybe you mean the cell in the column to 
the right of the spilling text cell.  That would truncate it if wrap is 
turned off for the spilling cell.  Actually, any data in the next cell 
to the right should truncate the spill.  However, it will truncate at 
wherever the cell limit is, not between words as in the example, or even 
between characters.  That means that a partial word or character may be 
seen.

o Select the relevant text.
o Go to Format | Character... | Background (or right-click |

o Click the required colour in the panel.

or:

o Select the relevant text.

o Click the required colour in the panel.

or:

o Select nothing.
o Click the Highlighting button in the Formatting toolbar. The cursor 
changes to a paint bucket.

o Drag across the relevant text.
o To cancel the paint bucket, either click the Highlighting button 
again or press Esc.

(Relies on the highlighting colour not having been changed from yellow.)

Incidentally, a much better way to do this is to use styles - in this 
case, a character style:

o Select the relevant text.
o Go to Format | Styles and Formatting (or click the Styles and 
Formatting button in the Formatting toolbar, or press F11).

o In the Styles and Formatting panel, click the Character Styles button.
o Right-click, say, the Default style and select New... .
o On the Organiser tab, give the new style a name (Yellow?).
o On the Background tab, select the required colour.
o OK.

Now you can apply this style to any text you need highlighted. 
Crucially, if you later decide that you want highlighting in green 
instead, you can simply change the *style* and the effect will 
immediately apply to all of the (very many?) parts of the document 
that you have highlighted in this way.


I trust this helps.

It works fine for me.
I type the text, then I drag the mouse, with left button pressed, over 
the text,
then I click on the icon that looks like   ab on yellow background, with 
a yellow
tipped pencil next to it, to the right of the pencil is a drop down menu 
of colors
to choose from. If I just click on the ab  then I get the default yellow 
highlighting.

If I click on the down-arrow, then I choose the color for the highlighting.

Good luck.
