Re: Open office version 3.1.1 v 4.1.1
Thank you for your response. I am attempting to upgrade my 3.1.1.version of Open Office on my old computer using Windows XP. Yes I`m using website as shown below. When I click on site I`m asked to fill in 3 boxes namely favourite operating system, language, and version. Clicking on these options produces nil information. I then click on Download full installation and connected to Sourceforge site and then message appears stating We were unable to return you to sourceforge.net. Internet Explorer has stopped trying to restore this website. It appears that the website continues to have a problem. Another message appears stating that Internet Explorer attempts to restore site and it stops after 2 attempts to avoid and endless loop Thank you, Colin Hambidge - Original Message - From: Dennis E.

My new computer is an Imac. I`ve attempted to transfer this document as an Email attachment and although the document is transferred the format has changed and lines are jumbled up and it appears as one long document and not separated into its 30 pages. Which software did you use when viewing them? Did you make sure that every font used in your document is installed in you new computer? If not, another font may be used in its place, which could mess things up a little, such as where pages begin and end. On speaking to computer boffins I have been advised to download Apache OpenOffice and this should cure the problem. But as latest version is 4.1.1. (1) Will there be any conflict between document generated using version 3.1.1 and the receiving computer using 4.1.1 ? There shouldn't be, as far as I noticed. (2) Will this solve my problem? I guess it likely will. (3) I have attempted several times to download version 4.1.1 on this computer Which one is ”this computer”? The old one or the new one? but I keep receiving Microsoft warning messages Ah, the old one, right? I can't imagine why an iMac would throw up Microsoft warning messages… :P stating that there is something wrong with your webite`s security certificate and won`t let me proceed to website to download the update.

RE: Open office version 3.1.1 v 4.1.1
I think there may have been some web site problems that impacted you. Usually the three options are filled in automatically based on what is Detected from your browser. What version of Internet Explorer are you running on Windows XP? - Dennis -Original Message- From: C Hambidge [mailto:c.hambidge...@btinternet.com] Sent: Saturday, January 10, 2015 08:18 To: users@openoffice.apache.org Subject: Re: Open office version 3.1.1 v 4.1.1 Thank you for your response.
