Installation
I have downloaded and installed but cannot work on the program - please help - I'm technically challenged
Re: Installation
Hi Anna-Marie, please give us some more information on what you are trying to do. - What operating system do you use (e.g. Windows 7, 8, 10, Ubuntu, Mac OS, ...) - Were there any issues during installation? Error messages? - Can you open the program by clicking on an icon? - Do you see the program, does it open up? - What are the steps you tried so far? - At which step are you stuck? Some minor information you could also provide: OpenOffice is a "package of programs" rather than just a single "program". If you want to write a text document you use OpenOffice Writer for example. What do you want to do with "the program"? Writing a document, creating a presentation, work on spreadsheets, etc.?

Text disapperars
I looked in the forum, but I did not find an answer for this issue: I typed a document, saved it and opened it several times in the past. Recently I tried to open it again and this time all the text has been replaced with "x". Please tell me how to recover the text in this document. Thank you, Scott Hines

If it opens, your content will be in file content.xml, if that opens. In that case, (again outside of OpenOffice) look in the directories pointed to by the OpebnOffice settings /Tools /Options /OpenOffice /Paths - Backup and /Tools /Options /OpenOffice /Paths - Temp ; rename any files with arbitrary names and extensions to the file type you were using and see if they contain some or all of your data. Download and run one of Recuva or PhotoRec and see if this will recover any deleted temporary file containing sum or all of your data. Note that /Options is under Preferences on a Mac. -- Rory O'Farrell - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
Re: Inserting photo into document query
Hi Julian, First thing i tried. That doesn't work either. I tried the 'flip" option but that only gives me a mirror image from the opposite angle. It doesn't turn the image from horizontal to vertical. -Original Message- From: Julian Thomas Sent: Thursday, April 7, 2016 11:08 AM To: Open Office Apache list Subject: Re: Inserting photo into document query On Apr 6, 2016, at 18:36, cleanp...@bigpond.com wrote: Whenever i insert a photo into a document, the photo automatically goes from vertical to horizontal.

Please help. Having problems with Calc
My wife has used Calc for years to keep track of highly detailed tax data for our business. This week she was entering info on a certain sheet (she has multiple sheets) and it was entering that same info on sheet number one. When she deleted a row from sheet number 3, it deleted it from sheet number 1. We lost a bunch of data this way...actually all of the sheets are behaving as one sheet. Please let me know how we resolve this. This is a fresh install of OO on a Windows 10 laptop. Thanks Scot -- Fresh Day Music Scott Michael Bennett Heather Louise Bennett---much-loved wife & concert manager P.O. Box 397 Stevensville, MI 49127 269.588.1107 www.scottmichaelbennett.com
Re: Please help. Having problems with Calc
If you have selected multiple sheets either by purpose or accidentally data entries or changes are done on all selected sheets. This can be handy if you like to enter formulas on multiple sheets, but as you experienced it can be a disaster when you're not aware of it.
