Re: Back to the Future Initiative
how do I undo something that is happening with all my Apache documents? When I open a document, with multiple pages, all the pages on one 8 1/2 x 11 and I cannot edit or add two things like my journal. Help!

Re: Open Office Crashes
Att: Shari Lynn Smith Thanks for your very detailed instructions to be able to open my documents and to find them after they are saved. However, I have 4.1.6 (not 14) and I wonder if I should download the 4.1.14? When you say to 'quit' open office, the only option close to that would be to delete. I'm afraid to delete it, as I have journals on my computer back 35 years, and they are all in .odt format. When I open windows explorer, I did not see the folders app to 'view hidden folders' but I did "view hidden items". If you advise me to install Apache Open Office 4.1.14, should I uninstall 4.1.6 first? I've been typing from a handwritten journal 1983-87--and yesterday I retyped 7 pages that were lost from the last two days, and right after I saved it, I tried to open it, and the only one by that name that would open was missing a whole month of 7 typed pages. In an effort to open it, I now have 6 folders of the same name in 'recent files' and they all tell me 'The requested operation requires elevation." I have been unable to find my user information. but maybe if I have the later edition it would work. Again, thank you so much--I've really made a mess of things in my new computer, and need a lesson on organizing. I'm having trouble seeing what is on the C drive and what is on my flash drive--I'd like to move all the flash drive docs over.. II await your advice.

I too get frustrated sometimes, but then I remind myself it's free and does what I want & need. Also keep in mind that anyone who is helping you is doing so as a volunteer. None of us are employees of OpenOffice. If the above doesn't help, try to remember exactly what you were doing when it crashed. Are you in Cal, Writer, and what was the last action you took. It could be a bug. Shari On 4/19/2023 1:49 PM, Dave Mortenson wrote: > I have a home office, no administrator. How am I to proceed.

Re: Now Microsoft has taken over my Dell laptop and blocks printing Open Office docs on default printer
I have 3 choices for printing (none of which make sense): print to file Create single print job for collated output Use only paper tray from printer preferences. ]I ran a printer test page and the printer model says "Microsoft PWG Raster class Driver"--(I have a Canon MX490 series Printer WS) Perhaps if you could tell me how to get rid of the "Microsoft" it would work again. Most of the documents I try to print, even when I open from the Apache page, say < "The required operation requires elevation." So I can't even try to print.. I've had this new HP since Feb. and it's amazing I got my check book to work and my Print Shop and my Ancestral Quest. It seems a simple word processing program would work as well! grandma joan On Thursday, April 13, 2023 at 08:23:53 AM MDT, Wade Smart wrote: Joan, when you click Print - What is the name of the Printer in the box that says where it is printing to. -- Registered Linux User: #480675 Registered Linux Machine: #408606 Linux since June 2005 On Thu, Apr 13, 2023 at 9:17 AM Joan Bagley wrote: > > Microsoft has now taken over my printer--Is there any way around that > On Wednesday, April 12, 2023 at 09:15:06 PM MDT, Joan Bagley > wrote: > > Attention Steven Ahlers (you answered my desperate plea and it almost >worked.) > My problem is that I cannot open .odt files in Windows 11 on my new HP > laptop.

Re: Now Microsoft has taken over my Dell laptop and blocks printing Open Office docs on default printer
Attention Steven Ahlers (you answered my desperate plea and it almost worked.) My problem is that I cannot open .odt files in Windows 11 on my new HP laptop.

Re: Att: Open WPS In Openoffice
That is so exciting! I have WordPerfect files that I was tempted to delete and so glad I did n't.. Now I need to find out what is blocking my .odt files from opening. It says "The requested operation requires elevation." when I try to open an Open Offce Document (.odt) whether I wrote it today or 3 years ago.
