It sounds like your "user profile" may have become corrupted. Your "user profile" is not removed when the software is uninstalled. A possible solution is to rename your "user profile". Please see: https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?p=58403 If the above does not work for you, please try and provide as many answers as you can to the information Dennis requested in another email.

It appears the dictionary has disappeared and spellcheck doesn't recognize any of the words. Is there a way I can reinstall it? Regards, Brian McMahon
RE: OpenOffice Keeps Crashing
Please provide more on what leads up to the crash. 1. How do you open Apache OpenOffice 4.1.1? 2. Do you have a working network connection at the time? 3. What is the symptom of the crash?

I knew it was a simple solution. That's not true: you can always use the menus. There are two things you might mean by "editing": modifying the table design (which is what you originally asked about - adding another field to an existing table) and editing the data the table contains. o To modify the table design, you can use Edit in the context (right-click) menu, but you can indeed get to the same Table Design view via Edit | Edit... . o To modify a table's data, you need Table Data View instead.

So, to edit data within a Table, use the Edit menu tab near top of screen; to edit the structure of Table, use the context- menu while Table name is highlighted. No: try what I said instead! As for many things, you can reach either function using either the main menus or the context menu. And you need an item to be highlighted in order to use the main menus but not to use the context menu: in that case it is highlighted automatically.

Re: My First ooBase Database
Brian, thank you: You hit on very good points, and I do appreciate them. So, to edit data within a Table, use the Edit menu tab near top of screen; to edit the structure of Table, use the context- menu while Table name is highlighted. I am no expert at using spreadsheets either, but am finding my knowledge of spreadsheets, such as it may be, to be confusing my attempts to learn ooBase at this point! As the saying goes: Difficult to change or break old habits. ... Am presently working on learning the basic use of Forms. Difficulty is in becoming aware of the required workflow steps for using Tables and Forms in a database manager system. Challenge at this point is to get the Form to be synced with the Table, and vice versa. Have not yet grasped the concept of a "Relational Database Manager System". For now, I am trying to learn the basics, and, ultimately, have a useful end- product whenever I feel successful! Regards, Vince_B.
