[users] Open office goes not responding
I have a continual problem with OpenOffice (both text and spreadsheet) going into not responding status very soon after opening the program. Deleting the User folder under AppData\OpenOffice\3 seems to cure the problem, but I keep having to do this. Clearly, this is not how the program is supposed to work. I support the work on OpenOffice, but it continues to frustrate me. My operating system is Windows 7 version 6.1 build 7601 32-bit. Can you help me?

[users] Open Office crashes on exit
I am running 10.6.7 on a Mac. OO is 3.3.0. In almost every case, when I exit, the program hangs and eventually I either have to force quit or I get a panel that says an error has occurred and the file I was working on is being saved for the next time I open the program. However, this happens even if I have already saved and closed the file. This doesn't always happen but I am at a loss to determine why it does one or the other. -- - To unsubscribe send email to users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands send email to sy...@openoffice.org with Subject: help
[users] Open office installation virus
Hi, I had your program installed on my computer after I did a clean install of windows xp. I removed OpenOffice because I don't have time right now to learn it. However, since I've installed it and uninstalled it whenever I do a scan I keep getting this virus: Gen:Variant.Kazy.7792 and I couldn't figure out where it was coming from, but today I did, as soon as it gets to the Open Office folder that was left behind from uninstall I get this virus and my Virus Scanner can only delete it and not disinfect it. It also has an extension of .vbt on each of the files and there are multiples. So, this is where on my computer it is: C:\documents and setting\Downloaded info\Open Office.org (en-US) Installation Files As soon as my spyware program gets to that point I get a message and it's the only time that it occurs and it's related to Open Office. I just thought you ought to know about it so you can fix it. However, I'm now going to have to do another clean install in order to get rid of it.

Hello, I have a Mac Book pro and I have downloaded Open Office for Mac. The problem I am having is everything seems to be working fine but for some reason it appears that the entire download has been deleted from the computer after a few days. The docs are still there that I have created but I cannot open them with the Open Office. All of the icons are gone from the bar at the bottom, I search the hard drive for the program and they are not there. Do I have a setting on my computer that is cleaning up the program for me automatically or something like that? Sorry for being a little dense on this subject, I am a fairly new Mac user and don't really understand its operating procedures. Thanks for you time.

Thank you Brenda Forster [Brenda (brendam...@hotmail.com) is not subscribed and probably will not see responses unless directly copied.] The timing aspect is interesting, but may not be relevant to the problem (how did you fix it so precisely? did something call your attention to the time?). If you are using a Windows system, the most common reason for a silent failure to open documents (that is, no error message) is that there is an old copy of the soffice.bin process running. If that's the case, use Task Manager to end any process of that name (which will also end any associated soffice.exe processes). OOo should then start normally. Uninstalling and reinstalling should not be necessary, though. A simple restart of your system should also work if you don't want to use the Task Manager. If this doesn't help, please tell us what operating system and version you are using, and what version of OOo, as well as any error messages you are seeing. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

Re: [users] open office 2009
Where did you get the CD from? I don't think OOo themselves distribute the software on CD, did you get it from a third party that you could contact for support? Did you pay for it, and if so, did that include support? OOo (and many of the variants, such as Go-OO and LibreOffice) are free to download from their respective web sites, try downloading the installer and running it that way. Now that I check, there is a list of CD-ROM distributors on the OOo web site: http://distribution.openoffice.org/cdrom/#cdrom Did you get it from one of those?

Bill McCarthy Pittsburgh, PA I don't know exactly, if you have OpenOffice.org or not. Open Office 2009 is not something I know. If you do have OpenOffice.org (version 3.x) then you could try the following. Click on Start / All programs and see if you see an entry called OpenOffice.org. This should start up OpenOffice.org. I'm not sure, why there wasn't a desktop icon created for the easy start up. On Windows should be the Quickstarter activated automatically - have a look in the bottom right corner, close to the clock. Do you see there an icon with two birds? If yes, you can click on it as well to start OOo. I hope, that this will help you.

Bill McCarthy Pittsburgh, PA [Bill (wbm5...@comcast.net) is not subscribed and probably will not see any responses unless directly copied.] OpenOffice.org is normally installed from a file that is downloaded from www.openoffice.org, not from a CD, and it has release level numbers (like OpenOffice.org 3.2.1) rather than a name like this, so I don't know where you are getting it -- but there have definitely been releases this year. You may want to go to the site, if you can, and download the most recent stable version. You say you saw an install dialog, which is also what you would see by double-clicking the file downloaded from the site. Did you not have directions to follow from there? On a Windows system, you should end up with a submenu for OOo in your Start menu, and probably also with a desktop icon and maybe an icon in your system tray. If you let us know more about your operating system, where you are getting the file or CD, and exactly what actions you took and their results, we may be able to help more specifically. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

Re: [users] Open office
I will guess that you just bought a new computer. I am guessing this because it seems that you have a trial version of Microsoft Office that gives you a specified amount of uses before you have to register it with Microsoft. It is this Microsoft Trial that is opening and not OpenOffice.org. If you are clicking on a document file then, by default, you will open MS Office NOT OpenOffice.org. You will need to change your office file associations to point to OOo. I would also suggest that, since you have no desire to use MS Office, you uninstall it to prevent these pop up messages from opening.

Openoffice is most emphatically not Microsoft Office. If you are getting messages from the latter, it's because that's what you're running and not openoffice - and it will (aiui) cause what looks like a trial licence to expire. Sorry, we don't do MS product keys on this list :-) I hope you installed openoffice after downloading it, otherwise it will not be available.

What's happening is that the file associations for the various MS Office types are saying to use Office for opening them, and it sounds as if you probably have an expired trial version of Office that is coming up. You can generally set the file associations by right-clicking on the icon of one of these files, choosing Open With, and browsing to soffice.exe. Select the option to always use this program for this type of file, and you should only have to do this once for each type. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

My concern is the way the announcement was worded, it seems that what they are saying is OOo will not be continued and it will not be known be its new name. To me it reads that there will be no more work on OOo in favor of the new foundation office software. So it is an OOo issue. If the world at large sees the announcement like I see it, then they to would feel that OOo will not longer be developed and you will need to switch to this new product if you want the newest development in the OOo type of free office suite. Does the message seem to you that they wanted to come across that the key developers are moving to the foundation project and you better switch to this new package as soon as it is out of the Beta stage? When I read it, it made me wonder what will happen to OOo, its web site, its extensions, and everything else that I cone to rely upon. The only thing that made me think twice about is the contact people are all in Europe, and could this be a new aspect to the Euro-Office fork of the OOo software? So this needs to be discussed so we can figure out what will happen when these key developers no longer support OOo as we know it today? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

Re: [users] Open Office and Window 7 problem
Thank you for those who offered suggestions to help. The problem has now been fixed by a member of my Computer Club who is a computer technician by trade. He did an uninstall of Open Office and after that went to hidden files and cleaned out something there that had been left after the uninstall. He said that this is something that Registry Cleaners do not get to. I am not into technical things. As I did not write down details of the steps taken cannot say what was really done. After a reinstall of Open Office it is functioning as it should be. There had been others at the Club who had tried uninstall and Registry Cleans,and reinstall which did not fix this problem before this.

[users] Open Office and Window 7 problem
I do not know if this is a problem with Windows 7 or Open Office. I have been using Open Office with Windows XP for years with no problems. I now have to change to a computer with Windows 7. Open Office 3.2.1 installed correctly (I thought) When I open the splash screen of Open Office - Windows XP - opens in a Window titled OpenOffice.org Windows 7 - opens in a Window titled my window (0) Try to open another Splash Screen with the first one open and the window OpenOffice.Org Document Recovery comes up with nothing listed to be recovered. When I save a file and give it a title a window comes up - 'Error Saving the Document name...General Error OK Click OK to this and find that the file has in fact been saved with the title I had given it but the title bar remains reading 'my window (0)' Open another saved file that I had received the same error for and it opens titled 'my window (1)' This problem has not been encountered before by other Open Office users who have tried to help me. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Open Office and downloaded a new latest Java programme as someone thought that may be the problem. I have a few saved files in Word and Irfanview etc and these all open with the correct file name in the title bar. I have checked all the options I have for Open Office on the XP and Windows 7 computers and they are both the same. As I often work with several Open Office files open at the one time I want their titles to all appear instead of them reading 'my window (0) - (1) (2) and so on. Question is do other users think this is an Open Office problem or a Windows 7 problem. Any help would be appreciated as my old XP Computer is getting very tired and slow. meld...@gmail.com - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

[users] OPEN OFFICE WRITER TEXT BEST FIT
Hello, The Club I belong to is moving from using Publisher for a mail merge for membership cards to Open Office Writer. (using WIndows 7) With varying numbers of letters in members names, previously in Publisher it was possible to use 'Text Best Fit' to have the names in the largest possible font to take up the space beside the Club Logo on each card. Both first and second names are used in the merge. Does Open Office Writer have an equivalent to 'Text Best Fit'? At present all names appear in a font size depending on the number of letters of the longest name in all of the names in the merge list. Help would be appreciated.

If i restart my computer, it will launch the first time but then it won't open for other docs until i restart again. any idea what might be wrong? thanks. Are you using a Windows system? If so, there are sometimes leftover instances of the soffice.bin process that confuse OOo into thinking it already is running when it isn't. To clear this up without having to restart your computer, you can use the Task Manager, on the Processes tab, to end any soffice.bin you see there (which will also end any associated soffice.exe processes). OOo should then start normally again. Ordinarily, closing all OOo windows takes care of this, but sometimes (for instance, if OOo ended abnormally) this doesn't happen. It is curious, though, that this seems to happen every time for you. Are you by any chance also using Lotus programs?
