As others have already explained, Apache OpenOffice user support is provided by this mailing list and the forum at: https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/ You should understand that the non-profit ASF (Apache Software Foundation), is not a commercial for profit business. The Apache OpenOffice project is just one of more than 300 projects that make up the ASF. See: https://apache.org/index.html#projects-list > How is Apache contacted?

Even if you were able to contact someone at what you perceive to be "Apache", they could only refer you back here to the Apache OpenOffice project for user support > FYI.

Yes, there are many who sell FOSS (Free Open Source Software) and expect volunteers like us to provide free support. > I have never seen anything that says the program was originally free of > charge. It has been free for anyone to download and use since 2001, when the original sponsors Sun Microsystems made the code open source. See: https://www.openoffice.org/why/why_free.html Now if you will answer our questions and explain your issue in detail we will try to provide you with a solution. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
