Official downloads are only from http://openoffice.org (note the .org). 
The linked file will be on sourceforge.net.


Mr Berwyn H Price: indeed the latest version won't work on Windows 98; 
support for Windows 98 was discontinued several years ago (and maybe you 
are using a CD with the official version that came with a magazine, it 
was more common at the time). However, we are now in 2014 and you can 
download all legacy versions from 
http://www.openoffice.org/download/archive.html

What disk?

Where did you get the disk?

I suspect you purchased the disk from a  third party reseller, and if so,
you are taking several risks.

I urge you to DOWNLOAD the Open Office 4.0.1 or 4.1.0 or whatever it is
this week directly from either:

 www.openoffice.com

or

www.sourceforge.com


These are the two official sites from which to obtain Open Office.

The downloads are without charge for the Open Office program.

You may have fees associated with your ISP in providing the download
connection.

Most keyboards have a caps lock indicator in the upper right.  Does this help?

Re: Can't Use 4.0

2014-08-15 Thread Steve Ahlers
Ken,

Right click or control click Apache Open Office icon and follow dialog in 
window that pops up. You will only need to do this once.  When you update to a 
newer version the first time you run it you will need to do it again.

Read this page on OS X Gatekeeper for more information.

Opening TXT files is sluggish

2014-08-15 Thread Maurice Howe
TXT files are taking a lot longer to open - at least, the first one during a
logon session.  Subsequent TXT files open more quickly.  DOC files open
normally.

I'm running W/7 Home Premium on a Dell PC.

Any ideas?

Experience is the thing you have left when everything else is gone.

Word program crashed

2014-08-15 Thread Eleanor Lawrie
I have had trouble lately opening documents. This morning it was suddenly
impossible. Finally a screen told me the program (I guess the whole Open
Office although I only use the word part) had crashed and by restarting my
computer it would right itself.

However, before that message about the crash came up I followed a
troubleshooting directive and when it finished it asked me to say OK to
something it changed.

Now when I try to open a document it says Error, this operation needs
elevation.

Also, when I try to open Open Office from my desktop shortcut, a window
asked if I would allow this unknown source to make changes, and when I
click Yes, nothing happens, it just goes away.  I assumed this was part of
the self-recovery.

Is there a way to recover my word program without taking the computer to a
repair person?

Thanks,

Hello,

I am trying to make edits to a map my company has created. I am using your 
using your program and it will not allow me to 'copy.' I am clicking on the

Can someone please assist?



If you are in "OpenOffice Draw" (look at the title bar of the window), 
then you can double click the layer tab at the button of the working 
area. Please look if the option "Locked" is checked and if yes, uncheck it.
And you should make sure, that the document is not write protected by 
your operating system. Such can happen, if you try to open a document 
directly in your email client or if you copy a document from CD.


If this does not help, then you need to tell more details. What 
operating system do you use? Windows, Linux, MAC? What OpenOfice module 
do you use? Impress, Draw, Writer? What kind of thing is a "map"? Some 
drawing objects or a picture with hot spots or a table? What file format 
has the document?



Kind regards
Regina

Don't know from the information you've provided but typical ways to prevent
install problems would include:
- first look in Control Panel to see if Windows thinks OpenOffice was
installed. If it does try the uninstall

then

- use OpenOffice install only if downloaded from https://www.openoffice.org
(you are redirected to http://sourceforge.net but that's okay)

- make sure Windows is clean and stable (no malware on system, registry
doesn't have spurious entries)
-- Malwarebytes is great for cleaning malware from system,
https://www.malwarebytes.org/
-- CCleaner is great for cleaning kruft from registry,
https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

- make sure Windows is up to date (latest updates have been run)

- if install still not successful make sure Antivirus is shut off and try
install again BUT be sure to turn Antivirus back on when you're done!
