John, have you tried changing magnification through the Zoom
slider at the bottom right corner of the OpenOffice screen? That
should adjust the font size on your screen, till it's big enough
for you to see.
Sorry I can't help with your other issue. I assume you have
already made certain you are using Apache OpenOffice, and not
another application with a similar name?

I've checked in before with screen reader accessibility
questions, and the problem that has popped up is aggravated by
that. I have a little usable vision, which enables me to do
only limited tasks with Open Office.
Last night I opened a document in Writer. Since I couldn't read
it with my screen reader, I attempted to copy the text into
Notepad. For some reason, the text didn't copy. I can't
remember what happened when I closed the Writer document, but
now when I open any Open Office application, I get a message
about document recovery. I've deleted the document I was trying
to copy from. It's gone from Recycle bin deliberately as well.
My screen resolution isn't set for optimal use with Open
Office, so I can't see buttons at the bottom of the screen that
shows the message about document recovery. However, I've
figured out that by striking S, then N, I can open up the
document or spread sheet I'm actually trying to work with.
That led to other problems this morning. I tried to print out a
spread sheet so I could read it with magnification apart from
the computer, but I couldn't get it to print at all. I couldn't
tab to whatever control I needed to make it work.
I don't know how much of this is related to my lack of ability
to access the programs with my screen reader, but is it
necessary to uninstall and reinstall to resolve any of this?
