I did have the right page set up- I can no longer access it! Or any other
Open Office.org page. I have several on my desktop, that are used to keep
track of hrs. at work,etc. and nothing opens without popping up that same
message I reiterated in my initial email. While I was on the page,before
all this happened- I had tried using formats in the toolbar, as you have
suggested. There was no option available that I could find that mentioned
anything about re-sizing the piece to fit the entie template- which,
apparently, has to be accomplished in order for it to print correctly.
Meanwhile, when I open these Open Office.org things filed on my desktop, the
first thing that appears is the OO where it looks as if it will open, then
that is replaced by that message I told you about. I do not know how to
correct the situation, and ,as this is my daughter's laptop (which I am not
used to using), I don't want to entirely fill up her diskspace
re-downloading. I'd rather just fix the situation, as a lot of what is on
her desktop is her things, and not mine (I don't want to lose whatever she
has ther,either). Laura

Hi Laura/Isis,
I would recommend that you try restarting your computer to see if that
helps. You may also find updating to the latest version of OpenOffice.org
2.1 would also help to get ooo back.
Do you have the right page setup?
Try 'Format' > 'Page' and look for the option to set the page size.
Someone else should be able to help give you some more information.
Please let us know how you get on with the above suggestions.

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)
