Text overwriting and data not presenting

2020-09-25 Thread Rochelle
Hello,
I've been using Apache Open Office 4.0.1 with my 2012 Mac Air and have had
little problems in the past.
I usually save my documents to my drive in MS (.doc and .xls) as they are
often are shared with other MS and MAC users.

I recently had a mac store migrate my files to a new 2017 Mac Air with 1TB
upgrade as my older mac air storage was limited and freezing up on me.  I
have not had any issues opening older documents saved on my drive.

#1
I found that a few recent saves in open office .doc form appear with all
the text superimposed upon itself and I'm unable to make sense of the
document. It does not happen with all documents received, just a few.
This has also happened when I opened and tried to save a .docx email
attachment

#2 Spreadsheet data not presenting - Very Strange
Cells in the spreadsheet appear to be hiding. Clicking on a cell will show
the data, but does not appear otherwise.
Also the situation is not static. When I scroll on the page, sometimes some
of the data will appear and othertimes, data that was visible is no longer
viewable unless one clicks on the cell.

Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. This is very stressful
and more so during covid, where reliable software is crucial to get any
work done.

This is most possibly due to over-hasty power-off of computer or closure of 
laptop lid, before the file housekeeping has been written to disk, or to 
computer or program crash.  Do not let your computer sleep/hibernate with a 
document open.  When you have formally closed down the computer, wait five or 
ten seconds before pulling the power lead or closing the laptop lid, to allow 
the internal buffers of the hard drive flush to disk.  This will save your user 
details and the list of your recent
documents.

Dort wo sich Dateien mit der Endung *.ott befinden. Es sollte doch nun 
überhaupt kein Problem sein Deinen Rechner darauf zu durchsuchen.

There are shareware/freeware OCR programs - Tesseract is very effective.  
OCRing a document will usually try to recreate the exact format of the 
document, so you may need to edit that if you are intending to reformat the 
document. In addition, OCR only has an accuracy level of about 97-98%, 
depending on quality of the original, so you will need to proof-read to find 
such errors and edit to correct them.  In particular, figures should be checked 
and rechecked if they are of importance to the document.
