I'm a recent convert to Open Office. I have version 1.1.4 installed on a Toshiba Satellite that's running Microsoft XP SP2 and I'm having a problem with crashes in the word module. T
These are examples of crashes in certain circumstances. The crashes happen not always, but often: 1 - I have 2 text documents open and toggle between the two. Because I'm doing office work at home, some of the documents are in Open Office format, some are in Word format. The usual scenario is the first document saves OK, but saving the second either causes a crash or, if I save in in Word format, it will often save. But when I try to close down the document, clicking OK on the dialog box about saving in an external format sometimes produces a crash. 2 - Saving a long file in Word format can produce either of the scenarios above, either crashing while it's saving or crashing after clicking OK on the dialog box. It's also happened in Open Office format. 3 - Last night, I was working through the help file looking for something pertaining to searching and replacing when Open Office crashed. A friend who formerly worked in tech support for a computer manufacturer asked me if had Microsoft Office installed on this computer. It has a crippled version of Office 2003 that I've not activated, but he said he understood there could be a compatibility problem with dll files. I've tried uninstalling Open Office, then reinstalling from a new download, but that didn't help. Any suggestions or guidance would be appreciated.
