Hello OpenOffice help people,

Last Monday, I downloaded the new MAC Sierra OS X system and have had a lot of trouble with 
Open Office since then.


Today, Mac support helped me do a NVRAM and a Safeboot mode troubleshooting 
procedure.
Many problems are now solved but one is this.  I couldn’t cut, paste in a document today with 
Edit function or using shortcut keys, then later this window appeared.  See screenshot and 
now I can’t get rid of it.


I can’t restart the computer while this window below is open and it won’t allow me to Quit 
Open Office so I have to do a FORCE QUIT every time.



When I click REOPEN, nothings happens and when I click Don’t Reopen, nothing happens but I 
also would like to make this go away.  How can I delete it from my desktop?


Thanks for your help.  I don’t even know what to call this or I would have 
tried the C. Forum.

Thanks,
Kathy


You need to delete the folder "org.openoffice.script.savedState". It is in the "Saved 
Application State" folder in your User/Library.

yes there are.

Who told you that you have to right-click?


IF it is therethere are NO synonyms listed. I also have a problem with the

Yea, what's up with you, when I click "i" it will correct the "i" to an I.


I updated so i thought it would be fixed. It is NOT!


In general it is not necessary to fix non existing problems.


  I checked outFAQ BUT i see NO answer.


The F in FAQ stand for frequent and your question is not frequently asked.
Nevertheless if you can download the Getting Started document here 
, 
search for AutoCorrect and you find all

the information you need.

Copying Worksheets

[Keith Brown]

Hi,

I’ve been using OpenOffice for a couple of months but now suddenly find I 
cannot copy a worksheet in a spreadsheet workbook.

When I select Edit>Sheet> the Move/Copy option is no longer highlighted to use 
nor the Delete option.

I’m guessing it must be to do with have access rights but can you please help 
me find what I need to do?

Thanks,

K Brown

You are suffering from MicrosoftNamingItis. In OpenOffice, the sheets 
of a spreadsheet document are called "sheets" and the spreadsheet 
document is called a "spreadsheet". There are no workthises or workthats.


When I select Edit>Sheet> the Move/Copy option is no longer 
highlighted to use nor the Delete option. I'm guessing it must be to 
do with access rights ...


I'm guessing too, but there are two obvious possibilities:

o You have the spreadsheet open in read-only mode. Click the Edit 
File button in the Standard toolbar. If the original is marked as 
read-only in your operating system, this will offer to create a copy 
which you can then edit.


o The spreadsheet is set up for sharing - simultaneous editing by 
multiple users. If this is not intentional, go to Tools | Share 
Document... and remove the tick from "Share this spreadsheet with other users".


The option at Edit | Sheet > | Delete... is also disabled if you have 
selected multiple sheets simultaneously, using Ctrl+click on the 
sheet tabs - but that doesn't sound as if it is what you have done here.


I trust this helps.

Amazon 3rd party trying to sell Open Office

[David Heise]

https://www.amazon.com/Markt-Technik/b/ref=bl_dp_s_web_15352299011?ie=UTF8&node=15352299011&field-lbr_brands_browse-bin=Markt%2BTechnik

Amazon makes it hard to report problems with 3rd party sellers, but I 
wanted to make the people who work on Open Office and other free open 
source programs aware of these people if they want to do something about 
it.  Maybe someone else will have better luck in figuring out how to 
report them to Amazon.

What should be a simple Question

[James Flikkema]

Dear Sir or Madam:

 

I am getting tired of MS Office, and OO appears to be a possible
alternative, However.  I have years of documents (Word, Excel, Outlook,
PowerPoint) that I need.

 

This should be a simple question, Will OO read Office 2010 files?  If not,
there is no way I can dump thousands of documents to .txt files so they can
be read.

 

I hope the answer is yes, .

Re: What should be a simple Question

[Hagar Delest]

Hi,

The answer is yes.
You may suffer small glitches with formatting with text documents but basically 
there should not be much troubles.
Note that for Outlook, you need something else. There are application available 
on the net for .pst file I think.

Beware, you're not subscribed to the list, you may miss other replies.

David;

Thank you for your report. I have forwarded this to the Apache
OpenOffice Project Management Committee (pmc). The Apache License does
allow for the resale of the product the pmc will investigate that the
terms of the license were followed.

Re: What should be a simple Question

[Jim McLaughlin]

As others have noted, with regard to OpenOffice 4.x.x the answer is
basically  "Yes".

I am going to espouse heresy here.

I have used OO about 4 years.  When I started, it was a  reasonable
alternative to the Micro$loth product.

Over that time period, IMHO OO has gone downhill.  Too many bugs not fixed;
too many problems ignored.  (The user profile / dictionaries /. spell check
being only the most common one.)  Its a  result of too few volunteer
developers.  I don't have those development skills, so I can't help with
those issues.  I am a  tool user, not a  tool builder.  I think I have
found a  tool  which suits my needs better, that being LibreOffice.  I am
in the process of running both suites in parallel and think that I will be
eliminating OO sometime after the New Year.

Libre Office is available at:

www.libreoffice.org

LibreOffice is the same price as OpenOffice, i.e. free.

I have no economic or proprietary interest in either OpenOffice or
LibreOffice.  Just a fellow looking for a  better tool.
