open office 4 for mac keep deleting my files

2015-03-20 Thread Luca Dario
Hello, my name is Luca

I’m writing to you because since i’ve downloaded the latest version of 
openoffice(4) on my mac, every now and then, while working on my document, 
openoffice keep deleting them. I lost twice documents really important to me 
for this issue. It all happen while working on spreadsheet, the program seem to 
freeze ( everywhere i point the cursor, the window appear empty ) so basically, 
the toolbar looks like a grey bar with no options on it and the File/Edit/View 
etc.. bar is not available. When i try to close the document (prompting the 
system asking me if i want to save my work) the system says that is impossible 
to complete the operation because the file i’m working on it does not exist, 
forcing me to check the folder and realising that the actual document is 
disappeared. It is not in the bin or any other folder on my mac, it does appear 
on the history of recent opened document and on a recovering program but the 
file it says to be corrupted.

How can i fix this problem? I already set openoffice to make backup of my 
documents, but i don’t want one day to find out that even this option is no 
longer a choice.

Regards

Luca

 Hello, one week ago I was writingn in openoffice text a document for a
 gmail. I didn't saved neither gave name to the file before coping it and
 try to paste to gmail, when in stead of that document another text in the
 portfolio was pasted. I went back to the document, and instead of the
 original text there was another txte, I don't remember exctlly how, but I
 left the software and the original text was lost. As I was about 7 hours
 writing that e-mail (text), it's for konwing if openoffice made any copi of
 it and where that or those copies can be stored.
 
 Thanks a lot

There may be a backup file in the directory pointed to be
/Tools /Options /OpenOffice /Paths :Backup
or a temporary working file with an arbitrary name, something like afdgt.fgt
in 
/Tools /Options /OpenOffice /Paths :Temporary files

Rename either of these to type ,odt and see if they contain your data.  If they 
do not exist, I fear there will be nothing.

In future, immediately you commence a file, even if blank or almost blank, you 
ought save it with a meaningful name.  Anytime you pause or walk away from the 
computer, press Cntrl S to Save the file.

Stop reducing fractions

2015-03-20 Thread Vincent A. Juliano
Gentlemen/Ladies

I have been successful in properly entering fractions into my table.  Now 
however the fractions do not remain as I wrote them but are being reduced to 
the nearest single digit numerator as soon as I go to the next column to enter 
the next fraction.. 
what must I do to keep the fractions in their original form?

Thank you.
