Sorry to hear that you were "disappointed" with OOo (OpenOffice.org).
However, it would be very helpful if you could give us few brief
specifics about what aspects of OOo disappointed you. This will enable
us to determine if there was some misunderstanding on your part, or if
there is something we can do to improve OOo, that may encourage you to
consider reinstalling OOo at some future date.
and now i wish to uninstall. icannot find an uninstall button.
That's because there is no uninstall "button". You uninstall OOo through
the Windows standard control panel method. The only "gotchya" to watch
out for is that you must use the right click context menu option
"close/exit" of the OOo Quickstarter icon in the taskbar tray. This is
something I would like to see changed in OOo, but that's another story.
i have tried to remove via the controll pannel
OK! You have used the correct uninstall method, but did you close
Quickstarter (see above)) first?
but still i have some files left behind and douments i cant open.
Are these files you have created or edited with OOo? If we are to help
you resolve this, you will need to tell us what type of files they are.
If they are files/documents saved in ISO/IEC 26300:2006 standard format,
you will need software that can convert these files into other formats.
At the present time the best software to do this is OOo. Microsoft
software cannot currently do this, although there is a plug-in under
development for some of their products to achieve a measure of
compatibility with the ISO standard.
thankyou for nothing
Obviously, you are upset and frustrated about something, but making
sarcastic comments is unlikely to encourage anyone here to come forward
and help you. A far better approach would have been to approach this
support mailing list requesting help with your OOo issues before
attempting to uninstall. It very possible that we could have resolved
these issues for you and you, like millions of others, would be a
satisfied user of OOo.
I hope my reply has been of some assistance to you.
Regards
Dave
