What version of Internet Explorer are you running on Windows XP? - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: C Hambidge [mailto:c.hambidge...@btinternet.com] Sent: Saturday, January 10, 2015 08:18 To: users@openoffice.apache.org Subject: Re: Open office version 3.1.1 v 4.1.1 Thank you for your response. I am attempting to upgrade my 3.1.1.version of Open Office on my old computer using Windows XP. Yes I`m using website as shown below. When I click on site I`m asked to fill in 3 boxes namely favourite operating system, language, and version. Clicking on these options produces nil information. I then click on "Download full installation" and connected to Sourceforge site and then message appears stating " We were unable to return you to sourceforge.net. Internet Explorer has stopped trying to restore this website. It appears that the website continues to have a problem. Another message appears stating that Internet Explorer attempts to restore site and it stops after 2 attempts to avoid and endless loop Thank you, Colin Hambidge ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dennis E.

The security list is for vulnerabilities identified in the software. Is the download of version 4.1.1 being obtained via <http://www.openoffice.org/download/>? This should not present any security warning. Please confirm which machine the download is being attempted on. Also, what browser is being used on that machine. - Dennis PS: Please reply to the list. It is important to have other experts be able to follow the problem and for the community to know what solutions work. -----Original Message----- From: Johnny Rosenberg [mailto:gurus.knu...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, January 9, 2015 17:15 To: users@openoffice.apache.org Subject: Re: Open office version 3.1.1 v 4.1.1 2015-01-09 18:52 GMT+01:00 C Hambidge <c.hambidge...@btinternet.com>: > I am currently planning to close down this computer (using Windows XP) > which is running on Open Office version 3.1.1 but I can only close this > after I`ve transferred a 30 page important document to my new computer. > > My new computer is an Imac.

Which software did you use when viewing them? Did you make sure that every font used in your document is installed in you new computer? If not, another font may be used in its place, which could mess things up a little, such as where pages begin and end. > On speaking to computer boffins I have been advised to download Apache > OpenOffice and this should cure the problem.
