Hi Gabriel, I have LibreOffice 4.1.3.2 Calc opening and printing spreadsheets again a short time ago. I might have had 2 or 3 problems causing this. The last problem I solved this afternoon was PDFs did not print. I found this out using the Gnumeric spreadsheet program which can open .ods files. Gnumeric uses PDFs as print previews and on my computer they open in Adobe Reader. I found my printer no longer worked with Adobe Reader after the upgrade to Windows 8.1. After removing the Samsung ML-2955ND printer and 4 or 5 tries installing to get the test page to print I was in business. On a whim yesterday I removed the multiple versions of Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 & 2008 Redistributable that had been installed by programs and only kept the most recent. That allowed me this morning to open a spreadsheet a couple of times out of a few attempts without freezing though both tries to print froze Calc. I also gave full security access yesterday to the 4 users (I only have 1 user/login) which might or might not have had anything to do with this. Thanks for your help
