Thanks for the hints.  As far as I can remember it
worked fine after installation.  I need to check the
MDK version..

Thanks again...

 You might want to see if there are core dumps in
 your home
 directory...another thing to do is to open up a
 terminal window, and
 manually type out:
 
 oowriter
 
 ...and watch what is happening after you type
 that...(of course, you
 must hit ENTER or RETURN)...this will give you a
 clue as to what is
 going on...
 
 What version of MDK are you using? Have you
 installed/reconfigured any
 applications or system settings recently? When was
 the last time this
 worked correctly and what has changed since that
 time?

Hi All,

I have noticed an oddity.  When I start any of the
OpenOffice applications as soon as the program is
loaded it immediately shuts down again.  What am I
doing wrong?

 it sounds like it didn't install correctly. Try
 uninstalling the OO 
 packages and then reinstall everything from your
 CD's.

[newbie] Word Perfect conversion to Open Office

2003-10-01 Per discussione Smith Joe
Hi all,

I recently installed Mandrake 9.0 on a K6 III based machine and I am impressed by the overall comfort level. Having come from a DOS background I have a lot of WP51 files I would like to convert to use in OO... Any pointers to where a converter can be found?

Many thanksLysergius says,"Stay light, but trust gravity!"
