Hello Christine,
It sounds like you would benefit from a hands-on tutorial. Could
I suggest that you explore the availability of local resources,
such as Mac User Groups or basic computer courses at
libraries/local community centres.
I am sending this message to you privately, as well as to the
list. Let me know if you need help locating possible options.

Thank you very much for trying to help me, I really do
appreciate it very much. Unfortunately I think I’m the type
that needs a phone call and someone to just walk me thru all
this because I’m just completely unfamiliar with anything
past writing an email or going on a simple site like YouTube or
something. I don’t know what it means when you say “make a
new Writer file ((/File/New/Writer file)." I just need someone
to be on the phone with me and tell me exactly what to go to on
my screen, what to click…you know, like that, step-by-step.
I took back the Windows 8.1 Laptop that I had bought because it
was just frustrating me beyond belief. I am now just back on
my Mac. I tried to download the Apache OpenOffice but the Mac
won’t open it so I guess I”m out of luck anyway that I
turn. I really hope that I never have to get another Windows
computer again but in case I ever do and need help with your
Apache OpenOffice is there a phone number that I can call for
someone to walk me thru it? I know it’s a lot to ask but
that is really the type of help that I need.
Sincerely,
Christine Casey

I am using Apache OpenOffice for the first time. Please help me with this!
A window opens up that says:
“The document you are about to export has one or more
protected items with
password that cannot be exported. Please retype your password
to be able to export your document.” So my question is
this: What password??? And it does me no good to select
“Remove password from this protected item” because it just
keeps sending me back to the page saying to retype my
password. So what password are they talking about? Is it a
password from Apace OpenOffice or who? I am very confused.
Please just write me back a specific email and don’t
send me to “forum
land”. I am NOT a computer savvy person at all and the more
places you send me, the more confused I get. Please just email
back to me here.
Thank you,
Christine Casey
A quick test: make a new Writer file (/File /New /Writer file). In it type
dt, then press F3 key to get dummy test in the file. Now /File
/Save As; put Test into the File name box, Select "ODF Text
document (.odt)" in the file type box (may have to scroll up or
down using the arrow keys to select this). Make sure "Automatic
file name extension" checkbox is checked. Now /File /Close.
Can you do all the above and reload this file? If so, OO is
working correctly and the problem lies in your other file,
which we can then consider.
