Re: copy/paste
Diannia, I haven't seen this problem but it sounds like your article is being displayed by a plugin in your xfinity email. Copy/paste are uncertain under those conditions. Can you save the file and then try to open it? Might eliminate one possible source of error. Best of luck! Patrick On 08/11/2015 05:43 PM, ditea...@comcast.net wrote: I need help quickly if possible. I have a 2500 word article in the body of my xfinity email. When I highlight it to copy and go to open office 4.1 then it will only paste one page of it. also sometimes it puts a big black square on the wording. it is my written article and is not protected it was written in Office. thank you. diannia ditea...@comcast.net -- Patrick Durusau patr...@durusau.net Technical Advisory Board, OASIS (TAB) OpenDocument Format TC (OASIS), Project Editor ISO/IEC 26300 Co-Editor 13250-5 (Topic Maps) Another Word For It (blog): http://tm.durusau.net Homepage: http://www.durusau.net Twitter: patrickDurusau - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
Re: I have lost everything
Christine, You didn't say what operating system you are on but this may help if it is Windows: * When you installed 4.1.1, did you install for all users or just the current user? If you installed for just the current user, were you logged into an Admin account? If that is also a Yes answer, then Windows is looking for Admin access to the OO files. Uninstalling 4.1.1 and then re-installing for all users resolved this problem for me. No guarantees that it'll work for you also, but nothing to lose by trying (except a bit of time) * I found that here: https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=73427 It may also be a file permission issue as in your present login you don't have read privileges to the files. You will need to change those. You're right though, an upgrade should not frighten users like that. Hope this helps. Patrick On 03/10/2015 08:39 PM, Christine Lawrence wrote: Please help-.

Re: I have lost everything
Christine Don't reinstall, at least not yet. What do you mean by "cannot open documents?" When you do file -> open, can you see the documents? If so, what message do you get if you try to open the document? So long as the documents are still present on your drive, there is no reason for concern. I would make a backup of them in any event. Hope this helps. Patrick On 03/10/2015 08:39 PM, Christine Lawrence wrote: Please help-. I am hysterical here. I have just had the bright idea to upgrade my Open Office program.
