I am in need of some help. I went to the forum site and registered. I wanted to post my problem but they said I was too “NEW” and could not participate. So what is a person to do?
First posts my new users are moderated.
I have Open Office version 3.4.0 (April 2011) and my Mac has OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
You should upgrade to Apace OpenOffice 4.1.1 Download from http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html
I mostly used the write feature. I tried to quit Open Office but keep getting this window. “The last time you opened Ooo -dev it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows.” Do you want to try to reopen its windows again? If you choose to reopen windows you have to open and position the window yourself. Don’t Open / Reopen. “ No matter which button I select I can not close the box. If I manually shut the machine off the same box reappears. I can not print, copy, save, etc. in Open Office. I can not even delete the program because it says the program is still open. Tried to download a new version but it will not work … maybe it will not override the old program.
Force quit OpenOffice (Click on on the menu bar. In drop down menu click on Force Quit. In window that opens highlight OpenOffice, then click Force Quit.
I tried looking at the forums and its seems that others have the same problem. They have a solution but I can not figure what they are referring to or talking about. I am not a techie so I need step by step help with specific instructions.
You need to delete the folder "org.openoffice.script.savedState". It is in the "Saved Application State" folder in your User/Library.
See this post on the user forum for detailed instructions: https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=55755#p244931
