Hi- Hope you can help me with this- I am in UK, using my daughter's laptop with
OpenOffice,org 2.0 There HAD been an icon on the toolbar(?) at the bottom of
the screen that had a means of accessing the Open Office stuff she had
downloaded to this computer- Last night I was working on designing a
spreadsheet for my friend Bea to use. I finished it, and looked at a preview of
it, but it is the wrong size; it doesn't fill the page, but only covers a small
portion of the page to be printed. I don't know how to increase its size so
that the entire page would print correctly. Also, today, when I went to try to
access this, in hopes of figuring it out, I noticed that the icon is no longer
at the bottom of the screen, and every time I try to open any OO file that is
saved to this desktop, I get a message that says "Either another instance of
Open Office.org is accessing your personal settings or your personal settings
are locked. Simultaneous access can lead to inconsistencies in your personal
settings. Before continuing, you should make sure the user 'closes Open
Office.org on host'. Do you want to continue? (yes or no)
I have no idea what I am supposed to do. I would like to know, and also, I'd
like to put the icon back onto the bottom of the screen (which has other
icons.ie.whether I am connected, a virus scanning thing,etc. And I would like
to know how to make the spreadsheet an appropriate size for correct printing.
I don't know how to do any of that, and I don't know how to close Open
Office.org on host. I saved the thing I'm working on on the desktop- but can't
access it. (I don't know what, or if, my daughter had set up any registration
with a password- and she's in Colorado, and doesn't get to ck her email often
on the computer at home, so asking her might not work either(she just had a
baby, and is looking after the house, and working, so she doesn't have any free
time at the moment). Please advice- step by step- as I am fairly iliterate on
computers, and I could use some help here! Thanks. Laura If you have her
regitered anywhere, my daughter's name is Isis - she just had her named changed
in court from Isis Haugh to Isis Rich, if that may be of any help. Thanks
again, Mom (Laura Rich)
