Re: Problem with Opening Microsoft *.xlsx Spreadsheets with Open Office

G'day! My machine runs W8.1 and has no trouble opening .xslx or .docx files using AOO 4.1.1. Just checked it again. Perhaps there is something not related to the different software that is causing the problem? On 23/01/2015 5:00 AM, Johnny Rosenberg wrote: 2015-01-22 18:10 GMT+01:00 Stephen K

Re: I Have OpenOffice 3.1 . . .

Re: Should I Upgrade?

G'day Fred Like you, I'm a fairly ordinary user. I run Win 8.1 64 bit and the latest AOO version and always update when a new version comes out. Generally, a few bugs are fixed and occasionally extra functionalities are added. When you upgrade, always do it from the official sitewww.openoffice.o

G'day Patti and Simon I've used Chrome as my default browser for years, have downloaded AOO every time a new version became available, without problems. But I've always downloaded from the official site - I got burned once using an unofficial site (not for AOO, but other software) so don't use

Re: Using fields for frame or draw object in writer

It is much easier to do in DRAW. You can create a text box, enter the text then find the "effects" button at the bottom of the screen. One of the options will be "rotate", click that and when you put your cursor at the corner of the box you will be able to rotate it to whatever angle you wish.
