quickly. Problem solved.

   Hello again,
I realize that this is Sunday so I might not get a reply for some time, and 
that is fine. Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
I've been using Open Office for Word Pad and Spreadsheets for more than a year 
and installed 4.1.2 a long time ago. Yesterday I went t open a spreadsheet that 
I have been adding to for about two months. All of a sudden I can't open any 
spreadsheet with Open Office. I reinstalled 4.1.2 but that has made no 
difference. What do I do next to open my spreadsheets?
Just wanted to add that I thought about uninstalling Open Office, but I was 
concerned that that might affect all the Word Pad documents that I have and 
frequently use.

Thanks,
J. 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. Dave --
