Hi All
I have a mac Mini PPC, 1.42GHz, 256 MB RAM., Tiger 10.4.8
d/loaded ooo 2.1 recently. Have used Ooo earlier also (earliest
versions) but then switched to Neo Office. Now using Ooo with X11.
(or rather trying)
Problem: I have a PC too and use Ooo for Win there and have created
an .ods file with some important information. I also saved that .ods
file in .sxc and .xls formats. All these were opening correctly and
properly in Ooo for Win.
However, when I try to open the same in mac... then
a) X11 screen comes up and nothing happens for quite some time
(almost 3 minutes)
b) Ooo comes up with the splash screen (another 2 minutes)
c) by the time Writer opens up, it's almost 7-8 minutes.
d) then I select the .ods file and it tries to open (2 minutes)
e) finally the calc window seems to open (i.e. there is just an
outline that opens, while everything else is blank), and the status
bar shows the progress meter 'blueing out" and just when the blue bar
has almost reached the far right, the whole damn app quits w/o notice.
I have tested and retested but to no avail
I still have neooffice loaded, but Ooo page(s) had said that
shouldn't be a problem.
Tried to trash Ooo prefs but couldnt find them. A finder search,
showed me SEVERAL Ooo folders under the NeoOffice1.1. folder
structure, as well as one standalone Ooo folder.
HELP. I'd rather use my mac Mini than the PC and Ooo than MS office.
Even neooffice is getting pretty slow.
BTW, that .ods file has a few charts and lots of numbers and
calculations. So there is nothing heavy in the file.
Once again HELP
