I am using Open Office version 2.1. The problem stems from my trying to copy
and paste from a Word document to an email. I used Open Office to open the file
but when I tried the copy and paste, it refused to work. I then closed the
file. Now everytime I try to open any file whatsoever with Open Office, I get a
page opening that says "Open Office.org Document Recovery" and the instructions
say to press "Start Recovery" to start the recovery process. First of all, I
can't press "Start Recovery" because there's nowhere to press. If there's a
button it's off out of sight below the window. Second, the document doesn't
need to be recovered. It's right where it's always been and it opens and works
perfectly. Third and worst of all, I get this document recovery page every
freakin' time I open ANY file at all with Open Office! I restarted the computer
and that didn't work. I've tried opening the file that this started with and
showing the program that it doesn't need to be recovered and that didn't work.
I ran a program repair and that didn't work. I completely uninstalled Open
Office, restarted the computer, and then did a clean re-install of the program
and that didn't work. Do you have any suggestions?
