Dear Folks:
Thank you for Open Office.
I have Apache OpenOffice 4.1.5 on a macOS High Sierra, version 10.13.6..
The footnote/endnote icon does not work. It is displayed but as a dim
icon, not like the rest of the icons on the tool bar that do work. I went to
the Customize Toolbar, clicked a checkmark in the blue field, which it already
was, went back to the Writer page and it did not change from its dim icon. I
have to go to Insert to place a footnote. The footnote/endnote function is very
important to me. I wrote a paper that is 150 pages long with 500 foot notes. Oh
my. That, and the pdf function that I can attach to an email are major features
for me.
I used an early Open Office for many years, before Apache became
involved. LibraOffice came along and it worked and I figured, what the hey. It
worked and the icons were colorful. But they created a new version with stark
icons that remind me of a cemetery. I went back to Open Office the current
Apache version because of the colorful icons and now the footnote/endnote icon
does not work. I regret not keeping the original Open Office version I down
loaded many years ago since it worked just fine for my use. More Oh my.
I have contacted the Community Forum with responses, but no cures.
If you could direct me to an earlier version of Open Office where every
thing works, I may want to down load it. My use is simple, I use Writer and
almost nothing else.
I purchased an OpenOffice cd and a LibraOffice cd on the internet. I am
using that OpenOffice from that cd.
Thank you.
Bless Your Heart,
Robert W. Burke
