When you open a file, the system creates a lock file so that it can't be 
opened by any other app at the same time.  Then when you close the file, 
the system deletes this lock file.  When you computer crashed, this lock 
file was more than likely left on the drive and now prevents any app 
from opening your file.  It should be located in the same directory with 
the actual file.  If you file name is FileName.odt, the the lock file 
should be named .~lock.FileName.odt# so if you delete that lock file you 
will then be able to open your file.

MAIL MERGE TO AN OPENOFFICE CALC DOCUMENT

2015-03-24 Thread Jean Lear
I need to print Raffle tickets with Butt and Ticket four to an A4 page.
I have registered an OpenOffice Calc document containing numbers from one
to seven hundred with columns for Butt and Ticket numbers as a Registered
Data Base.
I am able to do a mail merge from this  OpenOffice Calc to a blank Writer
document (with fiddling to get them in the right places), but am unable to
do a merge from the same OpenOffice Calc Registered Data Base to an Open
Office Calc document set up for the tickets or a Writer document set up for
the tickets in sections and columns.  I cannot see how to make up the
Raffle tickets on a Writer to have them four to a page other than in
sections and two columns.
As a last resort I had thought of printing the tickets from the Calc
document and then using the writer document with the merged numbers to run
the tickets through the printer a second time.
I have used Calc for the tickets as I find I can use that to more precisely
produce four raffle tickets to an A4 sheet with a butt and a ticket.  I use
Calc to produce work that other members may use writer for as I find it
easier to work with.
Can someone offer any suggestions or advice on how to merge the numbers
into the Calc document please - if this can be done.
I am using Apache OpenOffice 4.1.1 on  a computer with Windows 7
Professional  64 Bit.
Thank you.
Jean

They might have an ODF viewer or editor. Please use the email as PDF

You have a document... Let's call it Bob.odt. is there a file in the same 
directory  named Bob.lck? Delete this file while you are not running open

Please let us know if you are able to execute Apache OpenOffice, what
happened when you open the file from inside OpenOffice.

Did you download OpenOffice from http://www.openoffice.org ?

Please let us know, and this might help us know whats the issue.

Word?  That is an MS File Format.  I didn't know LibO could save
password protected MSO file formats.

>I forget it. How could I remove the password and open my document?

If you meant Write, then:

LibO 3.4.5 and lower can write files whose password protection relies on
Blowfish;
LibO 3.4.4 and lower can read files whose password protection relies on
Blowfish;
LibO 3.4.5 and higher can read files whose password protection relies on
AES-256;
LibO 3.5.0 and higher can write files whose password protection relies
on AES-256;

OpenOffice.org 3.3 and lower can read/write files  whose password
protection relies on SHA1/Blowfish;
Apache OpenOffice 3.4 and higher can read/write files whose password
protection relies on SHA256 / AES;

https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/User:TJFrazier/Encryption contains a
transitional macro for AOo 3.4, to read SHA1/Blowfish encrypted documents.

The Crypto++ library contains routines for encrypting/decrypting
blowfish, AES-256, and other algorithms for ciphers.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ooomacros/files/PasswordCracker/
is an OOo extension/macro that brute forces passwords.
It was last updated in 2005, so it won't work with LibO 3.5.0, and
higher, or AOo 3.4 and higher. I noticed that SourceForge didn't offer
"Code" on the project components line, so source code might not be
available.

http://archive09.linux.com/articles/61635 is an article from 2007 on
breaking documents encrypted with OOo.

http://ringlord.com/dl/Decrypting%20ODF%20Files.pdf is an in-depth
explanation of how to decrypt ODF File Format files.

One of the commercially distributed password recovery tools claims that
the estimated time to recover a password are:
* 5 characters: 28 minutes;
* 6 characters: 44 hours;
* 7 characters: 174 days;
* 8 characters: 45 years;
I'm assuming the normal stupid password selection process that is
typically used.

Sorry Elif, to remove a password the password must me known.

The process is enter the password to open the document, open the document,
remove the password. Once a document is encrypted with a password the
password is required to unencrypt the document.

After a brief web search I found a number of password crackers for
OpenOffice. I have not used any of them and cannot attest to how well they
function, if they function at all, if the tools contain malware or if the
sites they are available from contain malware. (I work in IT and regularly
see people's computers infected with malware so yes, I am suspicious of
unfamiliar sites.) Proceed at your own risk if you wish to try any.
