Re: need help, please

Dear Marie,

I’ve had the 'do you want to reopen' or 'do you want to recover' messages from 
time to time, but the recovery has always worked for me so I’ve never had to 
fix your problem. But I offer the following suggestions:

1.   Have you tried restarting your Mac to see if that clears the problem? 
My apologies for stating the obvious, but just in case you are an ‘always on’ 
person and that slipped your mind.

2.  If the app is really stuck and nobody else offers a better solution, I 
would uninstall OpenOffice (i.e. drag it from the apps folder to the trash) and 
then download and install a fresh copy of the app. (And hope that the problem 
doesn’t carry through in any settings or extensions that weren’t replaced when 
you replaced the app.) I’m still using ADSL internet so it takes a while to 
download a new copy of an app, but it’s probably better to just do that than to 
spend even more time and personal energy chasing a ‘better’ solution.

3.  In the unlikely event that installing a virgin copy of OpenOffice 
doesn’t fix the problem, I would try replacing OO with LibreOffice, on the 
chance that might fix it.

I haven’t been down into the engine room of a Mac since OS-X replaced the 
Classic OS, but simple work-arounds like these usually work for me when I have 
a problem that has to be fixed and I don’t know how to fix it. It may be 
equivalent to using a sledge hammer instead of precision tools, but if it works 
without doing any damage, then why not use it?

Peter.

[Steven Ahlers]

This often happens when there was a hasty shutdown or crash of the computer. 
Click on the Apple icon and select Force Quit. Close any program/app other than 
Finder that is running. Then look in the folder that you store files in for 
files that have ~lock. in their name and delete them (probably just the problem 
file). Restart your computer, start OpenOffice, and then open the file.

Make sure you let the program completely shut down before shutting down your 
computer. Also get in the habit of saving your files and shutting down 
OpenOffice when you are walking away from your computer for extended periods of 
time.

As a courtesy to you I have sent you a copy of this message. As a courtesy to 
me please only reply to users@openoffice.apache.org so that all users can 
assist you if you need further assistance.

If you are in Writer, look to the bottom right where there are three 
page representations. The left one is single page view (which you want), 
the second one is multiple page view, and the third one is book view. 
Click the single page view.

If you are in Calc, you cant. At least as far as I know or have been
shown you cant. Its not an efficient use of space.

If you are in Writer, it sounds like you could be in preview mode.
Though I didnt think you could edit in print preview.

The majority of the problems reported recently regarding running OpenOffice on 
a Mac are due to the GateKeeper program.
See Q05/A05 in the

Ros, I don't frequently have access to Macs so please forgive if these
suggestions are off the mark.

Are you able to download other DMG files from other sites but not the
OpenOffice DMG? If yes, check if your antivirus/malware is blocking the
download.

And... if antivirus/malware is blocking the download, is the download being
attempted from the official site? https://www.openoffice.org If not using
the official site, please use it instead of the one you are using.

I apparently created a document, A BLANK DOCUMENT and saved the document with

Now when I OPEN the program it attempts to “recover” the document.

First step is to authorize it to “RECOVER” the document.

If you click Cancel, the programs closes. If you select Recover, it goes no

I cannot open any documents or spreadsheets.

I deleted the file from the document folder, no help.

1. I found this on converting Lotus Approach.  It converts to Excel format; 
OpenOffice can read Excel files, so you can read these and convert into a 
database format supported by OpenOffice.

2. Beyond my immediate knowledge.

Re: Help please!

[Jim McLaughlin]

 Dan -

Katherine had a question about apparently disappearing files when she tried
to load a history manager onto her OO installation.

Jan, who's first language is not English, graciously tried to help by
recommending a program called "recuva" to recover the missing files.  The
phrase "dwn @piriform.com" which Jan used is not an e mail address per se.
It is a contraction of the phrase "download at piriform.com".  Its a  set
of directions to a  web site, not an E mail address.

Similarly, Jan's use of the word "taste" is a stand in for "try".  Remember
Jan is a non native English speaker, who is doing his best to try to help
out Katherine with a  question Katherine asked.

I appreciate an's attempts to help Katherine and admire Jan's plunging into
the vaguries of American English to do so.  Jan's efforts in a second
language, American English, are a  heck of a  lot  better than mu feeble
attempts at French, which passes for my second language.

Please cut Jan some slackl

The documents are present in the directory in which they were originally saved. 
 The History Manager may have erased the shortcuts to them, or been set to show 
no recent documents.  You should check the History Manager settings and switch 
it to 10 or more documents.  That may remember the shortcuts to your existing 
documents.  You should in any case be able to /File /Open , navigate to to the 
save directory and individually select and open each file.

If you are in doubt, seek help from someone with more advanced computer 
knowledge.

Help please!

[Katherine Pappas]

I lost all of my documents/ spreadsheets.  I was trying to install a
history manager file so I could see more than just 10 of my most recent
works and in doing so it somehow erased everything.

How do I get them back??

Also, it never fixed the problem with me being able to only see 10 docs.

Thank you!

Need Help Please

[JEANNETTE LINDSAY]

Dear Sirs: 


I have been using open office now for several years. I really like the program. 
It is great. 


Recently (about 2 weeks now) it is giving me problems. I downloaded 4.1.2 to 
upgrade to a newer version. I have downloaded and uninstalled this program 4 
times now. I follow the instructions correctly. When I go to use it the program 
will state that it is not responding. I have gone back to 4.1.1 and downloaded 
it now several times. Again it states that it is not responding. It states that 
the document is recovered and to push next to report it or to cancel to skip 
that process. I have done it both ways and it still states that the program is 
not responding. Could you please help me to fix this problem. 


I do legal, accounting and resume typing for people. I really like this program 
and I don't want to change to another program. 


Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter. 


Sincerely 


Jeannette

Hi Dan,
Thanks for your reply!
I've received another answer from someone else in your group, he asked 
the same question :)
Thanks so much, everything is working again and I have learned some new 
tricks.

Many greetings, Ann

Hello,
I've been editing a very long document and am almost done but suddenly
all of the headings that I was applying from a style sheet jumped way to
the left so they are nearly out of sight. The rest of the text stayed put!
Any idea how I can get it back to the normal margins? The obvious has
not worked so far.
Thanks so much, Ann in Amsterdam

What does this have to do with the subject line? This is called thread
hijacking and can really screw up an archive search. Please start a new
thread. BTW changing the subject doesn't start a new thread. You have to
post a new message.

To answer your question, are you sure you downloaded the windows version
of OO? If so, it will run on almost any computer you can name, including
Dell. It might be wise to run a search on "Open Office" and "Windows 10"
to make sure it will run on W10.

I'm not sure why this came to me but I'm glad it did since I have a 
question, too.


I have been trying to download OO to my new pc which came with Win8, but 
has been upgraded to Win10. After several attempts I finally got it to 
the point of installing when a message came up to the affect " this type 
of file is not usually loaded to your computer. I may harm your 
computer. Do you still want to continue?


Is OO actually available for Dell computers?

RE: Help please.

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

It is not possible to figure out what the problem is without more information.


 1. What operating system and version are you using?
 2. What is the version of OpenOffice Writer you are using.  (Open it and look 
in the Help | About dialog.)
 3. What is the name on the file that is not opening properly.

More can be determined once these questions are answered.

Hello OO Users,

I need help. Yesterday, since my Open Office was apparently a victim of 
computer gremlins, I uninstalled, rebooted, installed latest version, rebooted 
and solved that problem.

NOW I’m getting an error message when trying to open all previous OO documents 
which says: “The requested operation requires elevation”.

I would not worry about it except every business related document I have is in 
OO. I can’t process orders until this is resolved. Any help would be greatly 
appreciated.

Thank you,

Chris

How are you opening the documents? Double click on a document from say 
Windows Explorer, or, are you using File | Open from inside of AOO?


Finally, I assume that you installed the version from the AOO web site...

If you are using Windows, a good emergency strategy is to try another
set of OpenOffice. If yu have a SD card or USB memory dongle,  you can
install Portable OpenOffice. This will completely be separated from
whatever nefarious stuff might be on your computer.

Portable OpenOffice install to your USB memory making it able to run
from any computer from the same Operating system and would be as easy
as double click on the program there.

Please download it from our porting site:

As far as I remember, you have to right click on the OpenOffice document (or is 
it the OO Application itself? - I'm not sure) and select Run as 
Administrator.  This is a Windows message, not originating from OpenOffice, to 
do with execute rights for files. If my above advice doesn't work, query a 
Windows help site.

Re: Spread Sheets issues.URGENT HELP PLEASE

[Alexandro Colorado]

Remember there is also the '$' to fix the range to either a row or a
cell. In the event you move your range, it will stick to the initial
cell.

Example:

$A11 - will stick to column A
A$11 - will stick to row 11
$A$11 - will stick to both column A and row 11.
