Oh, and here's how you might have achieved this. Did your extra 
couple of words perhaps start with a capital "A"? Your typing finger 
may have slipped slightly, so that instead of Shift+A you actually 
typed Ctrl+A (easily done). This is the keyboard shortcut for Select 
All (otherwise Edit | Select All), and this would have selected all 
the existing material before immediately replacing it with what you 
continued to type.


I trust this helps.

What almost certainly happened is that you somehow managed to select 
(highlight) all of the existing text before you looked down to type 
the extra words. If you have any part of your text selected when you 
type, what you type simply replaces the selected material - in this 
case, all of your text. That is not a bug, but instead the way all 
such applications work.



... and I have tried to restore the missing text with out success


There is a simple way: just use Edit | Undo: Typing (or Ctrl+Z) to 
undo those two words and recover your previous text. But it may be 
too late to do this if you have performed other actions in your 
attempt to recover the earlier material. If you had typed more than a 
couple of words you might want to copy that first, before undoing the 
typing, so that you could then paste the additional text back where 
it should have been.



is there a problem with the new up grade ?


No - at least, not as simple a bug as your description would suggest!

I trust this helps.

Iain,

Had the same issue with the last two updates of OpenOffice on Windows. It 
resolved itself after either starting and closing AOO or after rebooting 
Windows or after doing both, I don’t remember which resolved it.

Steve,

Hi Iain,

What you have actually done is not to have updated your installed
edition of Apache OpenOffice, but you have downloaded and installed a
very closely related program called LibreOffice.

Follow this link if you want to update Apache OpenOffice:
https://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html
I would recommend you first read the installation instructions:
https://www.openoffice.org/download/common/instructions.html

For no apparent reason Office 4 is requesting me to do a spell check on ALL

Every word is checked. This has never happened before.

I did a repair and it has not helped.

Hoping for a favorable response.

Was meint "Excel-Dateien"? Sind wirklich "alle" diese Dateien gesperrt? Sind 
andere, OO zugeordnete, Dateien/Dateitypen einheitlich nicht gesperrt? Wie 
lautet die erscheinende Meldung?

Zu ermuten wäre zunächst das die ganz normale Sperre durch bestehende 
.~lock...-Dateien besteht, nur kann diese Sperre naturgemäß nicht "alle" 
Dateien betreffen, sondern nur Dateien, die vor dem Update von einer (z.B.) 3er 
Version von OO auf die 4er Version nicht richtig geschlossen wurden.

It is very hard to get a copy of a broken profile to study. When the 
report was more frequent, years ago, we asked for broken profiles and I 
think we even built a survey to help identifying the cause; but that 
didn't help (honestly, many users are even unable to fix it with the 
instructions we give them).



then they may have found something, then there may be something to be found.


At a point it was believed that the original problem was the decision to 
migrate 3.x profiles over to 4.x; "sometimes" this would result in 
damaging the profile; it would be interesting to know whether this is 
still reasonable or whether people manage to get this error even if they 
install a fresh 4.1.7 and keep using it.


This would also explain why other programs don't have the issue, if they 
really don't.


Focusing on what we can do now, I'd say the easiest thing to do is a 
"Tools - Reset profile" menu item, or alternatively a "Start with a 
fresh profile" option at install time. Volunteers welcome etc... but 
this would probably be helpful to users beyond the specific issue.

I agree with you. What I should have pointed out as to what the likely 
problem is that the user was having which I did not. Instead I assumed 
that everyone would know what has been obvious on so many computers 
running OOo: the configuration folder has become corrupt. It has become 
a reflex action.

It is NOT true that antivirus software will detect and remove ALL viruses.

If you have access to another computer that does NOT have openoffice, 
install it on that computer and run it there to see if the behaviour is 
the same.

RE: Open Office 4 Email Problems

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

Assuming you want the recipient to have an email with your document file 
attached, use the following steps:

 1. Save the study document to your file system.

 2. When you open Windows Live Mail and address a new message to be sent, 
attach the document.  (This might be an Insert option depending on your 
version.) Then send the message.

Alternative: If you have the Windows PC desktop application for Windows Live 
Mail, see if you can set it as your default email application.  Then the Send 
to Email from Apache OpenOffice 4 might work.  If it doesn't, use the above 
procedure.

Re: Open Office 4 Email Problems

First off, I always save my documents in word sot that people opening them 
won't have any problems. You could also export them as pdfs by the way. I don't 
use that e-mail server. I prefer yahoo and gmail for they present fewer 
problems. But, in general, you shouldn't have problems attaching the document 
in question. Or, if you want to send what you have typed as part of your 
e-mail, select the words in question, copy, and then paste them to your e-mail 
normally as if you had typed it there on the e-mail itself. Hope this helps 
somewhat.
Cheers and God bless,

RE: Open Office 4 text problem

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

Roy,

There is not enough information to be able to reproduce your difficulty and 
identify the particular problem.

Without knowing more, here are a number of things to try,

It may be that a Zoom or Scroll function moved your view so that the text was 
not visible.  

Open the document and look at the lower right corner of the OpenOffice Text 
window where there is a slider and a % value.  Move the slider to 100% and see 
if that helps.  You can also use Ctrl-Home to get to the top of the first page 
and see if the text is there.

Also check the lower left corner where it says Page m/n.  That should tell you 
how much material the document may have, assuming you typed more than a page's 
worth.

If you don't find your text that way, try going to the View menu and click the 
"Hidden Paragraphs" option.

And one more trick.  Positioned at the top of the document, click the "Edit > 
Select all" and see whether there is any portion of the document that is 
selected.  If you see text in the selection area, this may reveal that a font 
color has been changed.  You can use the font color button in the bar that has 
font and style information to change the font to a visible color different than 
the background color of the document.

If this does not recover what appears to be suddenly-missing text, the best 
workaround is to save your document regularly.  When something like this 
happens on a document that has previously been saved (so it has a file name), 
do not close or save the document.  Instead, use the File > Save As ... menu 
option to save the file under a new name so that you don't lose previously 
saved material while you see if you can recover your latest work.

Also, if the material is not private, you can create a bug report and add the 
failed document as an attachment.  That way, someone who understand the file 
format can examine your document to see if there is any way to tell what 
happened.  Let us know if you have captured a document that you want to do that 
with.

What disappeared? Only the text or the whole window? Or something else?

I assume you are running Apache OpenOffice Writer, as you say ”word
program”, which perhaps refers to MS Office Word. Writer is however not an
MS Word clone or anything like that.
It's also not ”our” program. I'm just a user like you, so this list is just
people using Apache OpenOffice, helping each other out; it's not like
professional support or something.
Just saying, in case you don't know.

Re: Open Office 4

[Linda Hull]

Jim,

Thanks a lot! I have a cooler under the laptop, but it's not very
effective. I'll probably build one using real case fans and some wood. HP
also gives directions for cleaning the fans and remounting the cooler.
Would be nice to have a backup computer first.

In the meantime, I tried downloading Apache Open Office 4.1.2, from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/?source=typ_redirect

It has failed to download twice. I speak English, didn't bother with the
language packs, just clicked download. Must be my lucky day/bad internet?

I have a "Full" install of 4.1.2 (AOO412m3(Build:9782) - Rev. 1709696
2015-10-21 09:53:29 (Mi, 21 Okt 2015)) installed on Windows and "Load
OpenOffice during system start-up" is definitely still an option.

If the "Quickstarter" option is omitted during a "Custom" installation,
then the "Load OpenOffice during system start-up" does not appear in the
Memory settings. I haven't checked, but it might be that the "Standard"
installation does not include the "Quickstarter" component.

un/re install will possibly (probably) not work.  If you are using Windows, 
start TaskManager (Ctrl Shift Esc) and kill any "soffice" processes shown as 
running on TM's Processes tab.  Such processes can be left over if you close

"Load OpenOffice during system start-up" in
your Tools --> Options --> OpenOffice --> Memory settings. By the way
this setting has been removed in 4.1.2

I have a "Full" install of 4.1.2 (AOO412m3(Build:9782) - Rev. 1709696
2015-10-21 09:53:29 (Mi, 21 Okt 2015)) installed on Windows and "Load

You're right Dave, I have deselected that option during installation and

I don't know which database you are using, but the embedded database is

Reason is not the database but because it's inside the OpenOffice file 
you loose everything when your odb file get corrupted.
There are many free databases available I personally use MySQL not

So I recommend that you try with that one. Download it from the official

 Office calc oder sonst einen Witz vor. Das Ändern der
 Standardprogramme ist nicht möglich;

Auch dies muss ein Fehler bei ihrer Installation sein, bei mir
funktioniert die Dateizuordnung immer noch. Wenn sie nicht in der Lage
sind, den Dateityp zuzuordnen, dann liegt dies entweder an einem
beschädigten Win7-System oder an ihrem Kenntnistand. 

 Sinnvolles Dateiöffenen funktioniert ausschließlich, indem
 ich die Programme erst lade und von ihnen aus die Dateien öffne...
 ziemlich umständlich, um es vorsichtig zu formulieren.

Wenn dies funktioniert, ist das Programm offenbar lauffähig, aber sie
schaffen es nicht, Windows passend zu konfigurieren.


 Und jetzt werde ich, verd***t nochmal, versuchen, eine ältere Version 
 runterladen.
 Mailen Sie mir bitte eine entsprechende Url.  Die neue Version gehört 
 auf den Müll. Updates Ihrers Programmes werde ich fürderhin meiden.

Jeder darf machen, was ihm beliebt.


 Sollte ich bis spätestens Dienstag, 12:00 MEZ keine sinnvolle Antwort 
 von Ihnen bekommen, so werde ich außerdem das als Inkompetenz
 Ihrerseits auffassen und entsprechend publik machen.

Und nun auch noch eine unverschämte Drohung!?

Ihnen seid mitgeteilt, dass alle Mitglieder dieser Mailingliste
_freiwillige_Helfer_ sind, die einen Teil ihrer (knappen!) Freizeit

 Mit der Ihnen gegenüber angebrachten Hochachtung,

Genau von dieser ist hier nichts zu bemerken...

Aus lauter Gutmütigkeit 2 Tipps (und das, obwohl ich Windows noch
nicht einmal verwende):

a) Laden sie die _deutsche_ Version herunter!

b) Bringen sie ggf. Windows bei, mit welchem Programm es welche
Dateien zu öffnen hat. Dazu gibt es 2 Wege: Rechtsklick/öffen mit...
und dabei den Haken bei immer mit diesem Programm öffnen oder
verwenden sie die von Microsoft vorgeschlagene Variante:

Abschließender Tipp: Tief durchatmen, ausprobieren und ggf. noch einmal
_freundlich_ nachfragen.

Gruß,
Michael

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

Die neue Version von Open Office ist eine Katastrophe (höflich
formuliert). Hier nur die schlimmste Klopper, mit denen ich mich, seit
ich den Unfug leichtsinnigerweise runtergeladen habe, erfolglos
herumschlage. (ich arbeite seit knapp 20 Jahren am Computer, kenne mich
also eigentlich aus...)


20 Jahre am Computer und dann solche Aussagen oder besser hirnloser 
Blödsinn.

Du hast in diser Zeit scheinbar nichts gelernt.


1. Programm läuft nur Englisch...
2. Wenn ich Programme wie z.B. rtf., doc, docx usw. via öffnen mit
öffnen will, schlägt mir Windows7 penetrant den Adobe Reader oder Office
calc oder sonst einen Witz vor. Das Ändern der Standardprogramme ist
nicht möglich; Windows kann Ihre neuen exe-Dateien anscheinend nicht
erkennen. Hurra Ich hab eine Stinkwut.

Lauter Probleme, die ich in dieser Urgewalt noch nie erlebt habe -- und
schon garnicht mit den früheren OpenOffice-Versionen.

Und jetzt werde ich, verd***t nochmal, versuchen, eine ältere Version
runterladen.

Re: Open Office 4 ist eine Katastrophe

[RA Stehmann]

Hallo,

ich fand den Tonfall, in dem dieses Posting geschrieben wurde, auch
etwas merkwürdig, habe mich aber gleichwohl dazu entschlossen, es an
die Liste weiterzuleiten, da sein Inhalt vielleicht ein Trollversuch
aber eben kein Spam ist.

Bei mir stand allenfalls die Frage im Raum, ob es nicht eine
Fürsorgepflicht geben könnte, die es gebietet, Menschen zu ihrem eigenen
Schutz von derartigen Veröffentlichungen abzuhalten.

Da ich aber mangels gegenteiliger Anhaltspunkte davon ausgehe, es mit
verantwortlichen Erwachsenen zu tun zu haben, gebe ich auch in solchen
Fällen der Meinungsfreiheit den Vorzug und leite weiter.

Wer an eine öffentliche Mailingliste postet, muss wissen, was er tut.

Gruß
Michael

Re: Open Office 4 ist eine Katastrophe

Hallo i.w.

versuch es mal mit der deutschen 4.0 Version, die Du hier herunterladen 
kannst:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/files/4.0.0/binaries/de/Apache_OpenOffice_4.0.0_Win_x86_install_de.exe

Wenn es dann immer noch nicht geht, findest Du die (ebenfalls deutsche) 
vorherige Version hier:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/files/localized/de/3.4.1/Apache_OpenOffice_incubating_3.4.1_Win_x86_install_de.exe/download

Die jetzige Version solltest Du auf jeden Fall vorher deinstallieren.

Gruß Rainer
