Hi, My username is BobJames40
I used to be able to write and open files with OpenOffice software, although I don’t use it very much. I cannot remember the last time I used it successfully, but it was probably before I upgraded the MacBook to High Sierra. I am now running version 10.13.5. I have version 4.1.5 of OpenOffice. My MacBook is a mid 2010 model. I log on as the Administrator when using my MacBook. When I try to open a file the OpenOffice icon appears in the Dock with the small dot flashing underneath, but after a few seconds it disappears and the file does not open. The same thing happens if I try to open from the OpenOffice icon in the Applications folder. Having looked at some of the help on your forum I noticed a comment about logging on as a Guest user. I set this up (not having done this before) and I find that I can use OpenOffice this way. I do not understand why I cannot use OpenOffice when logged on as the Administrator. Can you suggest how I can overcome this problem, please?
