It would help us to answer your question if you provided adequate
information about your issue:

1. Which link are you referring to?
2. Which operating system are you using?
3. Can you provide more detailed information about your issue.

Several million other users are not experiencing the same problem.

Yes it probably would have been better to have gone to @dev or

Re: [AOO-Templates]

It's the crappy auto response given when someone tries to log into or
recover their credentials for the Apache OpenOffice templates website.

The message instructs the victim to "Contact the site administrator",
but we users have no idea who the site administrator is.

Scanned images are just like photographs (bitmaps = just a series of
dots that make up a picture). To turn scanned text into editable text
you have to process the image through OCR (Optical Character
Recognition) software.
There are numerous commercial OCR packages available, but if you you
only want to convert the occasional image you might consider free
options such as:
On-line: https://www.onlineocr.net/

Can you explain in more detail what you mean by "stopped working"?
You appear to be using Windows 10 and I am guessing you are double
clicking on document names and those documents are not opening.
Do any error or other messages appear? If so, what do they say?
Can you start the program (eg. Writer) from the Windows menu?
With  answers to those questions we might be able to understand your

Hi Calvin,

Please note that attachments are removed from posts to this list, which 
means that most subscribers will not see your capture.


I can see your image and my guess is that you have a number of pages 
(not spreadsheets) in the document and you have somehow inadvertently 
switched from single page view into book view and your window zoom has 
remained at 100%.


The simple solution is to click on the left hand icon of the 3 icons in 
the bottom right hand corner of the Writer window. I am attaching an 
extract from your screen capture illustrating the window area.

John,

What makes you believe you are subscribed to this mailing list? There is 
no record of anyone ever having been subscribed to this mailing list 
with an ourfireside.com email address. Nor are you subscribed with the 
icloud.com address you are using here and I am unclear as to why your

Now if you are genuinely receiving copies of posts to this mailing list, 
send an email to users-ow...@openoffice.apache.org with accurate

In addition to Brian's excellent answer, when you right mouse click on a
word the context (pop-up) menu that opens will have an entry at the
bottom called "Synonyms" with sub-menu options, the last of which is
"Thesaurus". Selecting this option opens the Thesaurus dialog you are
familiar with.

Hope this helps.

More information needed:

* What on-line "directions" have you been trying to read?

* What is the file name suffix? eg. ".doc", ".docx", "odt", or something
else.

* Is the file password protected, or locked in some other way?

* Which operating system are you using? (eg. macOS, Linux, Windows)

Answers to one or more of these questions might help us understand your

Neither screen resolution or memory are the issues here.

How Is Windows 10 S Different?
The biggest difference in Windows 10 S is that can only run apps
downloaded from the Windows Store.

So unless AOO is added to the Windows Store, or the OP can switch out of
S Mode, the answer to his question is NO.

I had some off-list communication with the OP (not subscribed) and the
issue is a Windows file association problem. The clue was in his
original post: "formatted in a Notebook style." which eventually
translated into "Opens in Windows Notepad", but I didn't get it at first.

Hopefully, my reply helped resolve his issue.

Hi Jonathon,

I am not interested in an "us and them" debate, come flame war. However,
I have seen this and similar comments on AOO lists before and I am
genuinely interested to find out what these "things" are. A couple of
examples or pointers might help me get a better understanding.

In the days of the OOo users mailing list this filter worked, plus the
OOo list management software had the facility to add [MODERATED] to the
subject line, making it very easy to identify and/or filter
non-subscribed posts.

The filter no longer works for clients such as Thunderbird, because they
only detect the first "Delivered-To:" header tag and the ezmlm software
used by AOO places the "Delivered-To: moderator" tag 3rd. or 4th. in the
list:

Delivered-To: 
Delivered-To: apmail-
Delivered-To: mailing list users@openoffice.apache.org
Delivered-To: moderator for users@openoffice.apache.org

For unspecified reasons some members of the PMC have repeatedly resisted
my proposal for a small change in ezmlm software to reinstate the
[MODERATED] flag in the subject line.
