Wilkerson In some parts of the world Sunday was yesterday :-) It's a little confusing when you say "/using Open Office for Word Pad/", because Apache OpenOffice Writer and Windows WordPad are similar, but unrelated programs. What happens when you try to open your spreadsheet? Does Calc appear to be starting to load? Do you see any error messages and if so what do they say? Try starting Calc from the system menu (eg. Windows Start button) which automatically starts a new spreadsheet. If that works, try using Calc's main menu "File -> Open..." option to open your spreadsheet. The old Windows myth about uninstalling and reinstalling fixing problems rarely works for Apache OpenOffice. An often recommended solution to these kinds of issues is to delete or (preferably) rename what is known as the "/User Profile/". For details about how to do this see the following tutorial in the User Forum: Reset your user profile: https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=12426#p58403. Hope this helps.
