Thanks for your reply. I will try that. But I didn't think that was the problem because OO worked fine on my new computer for several months until a few days ago. So is it not more likely that the issue arose because of a recent event, such as the upgrade to IE9? Thanks again.

You shouldn't copy apps from one computer to another. Always do a fresh install. Until recently, you could download the latest version from www.openoffice.org, but that seems to not be avaiable at the moment. You could also try LibreOffice www.libreoffice.org which is a forked version of OpenOffice.org. And yes, you should delete the old version. This normally isn't necessary, but since you copied rather than installing it, you may experience problems. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] For additional commands send email to [email protected] with Subject: help -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] For additional commands send email to [email protected] with Subject: help
