Re: "Recovery failed" warning on each relaunch of iMac and Openoffice

[David Belina]

Do you come Open Office before you shutdown the Mac.

If you don’t (even if you “lock “ the file, OpenOffice tries to recover because 
it thinks the Open office file is still open.

Try /Insert /Field Page number.

I have just checked Help file for AOO 4.1.7: the edit reference is for 
Formatting of the page number style and for that you need an existing (already 
inserted) Page Number.  To edit that page number style, place the cursor 
immediately in front of that field - it is helpful to turn on /View /Field 
Shadings, and sometime /View /Field names.

Page Numbering

[Edward Eckhard]

Hello out there to all Users. 

I'm trying to number hardcopy pages in my OpenOffice documents. The HELP 
Routine in 
OpenOffice tells me to use EDIT and FIELD to do it. However, I cannot select 
the 
FIELD Option from EDIT ! What to do ?? Anyone ??

File - is locked for editing by unknown user

[Daniel Pritchett]

I have used this file for around a year. Everyone I try and open this file it 
says “document in use - is locked for editing by unknown user. Open document 
read-only or open a copy of the document for editing. 

I have no idea what to do, I ran CCleaner and I also used the task manger but 
couldn’t see the file open to close. 

I’ve renamed the file name by just putting a 1 at the end, which allows me to 
use and edit the file. Really annoying though. 

Anyone know how to resolve this issue?
