Marina, Yes, I'm using Apache Open Office 4.1.1. Thanks for the
magnification tip. I'll see what I can do to make that work when I get
the document recovery issue resolved. When I open the Open Office icon,
I have to go through the steps (S & N) as described before. Then it
opens Writer, not the panel that lets me choose the program I want.
By the way, I got 4 copies of your message.

John, have you tried changing magnification through the Zoom slider at
the bottom right corner of the OpenOffice screen? That should adjust
the font size on your screen, till it's big enough for you to see.
Sorry I can't help with your other issue. I assume you have already
made certain you are using Apache OpenOffice, and not another
application with a similar name?

I've checked in before with screen reader accessibility questions,
and the problem that has popped up is aggravated by that. I have a
little usable vision, which enables me to do only limited tasks with
Open Office.
Last night I opened a document in Writer. Since I couldn't read it
with my screen reader, I attempted to copy the text into Notepad. For
some reason, the text didn't copy. I can't remember what happened
when I closed the Writer document, but now when I open any Open
Office application, I get a message about document recovery. I've
deleted the document I was trying to copy from. It's gone from
Recycle bin deliberately as well. My screen resolution isn't set for
optimal use with Open Office, so I can't see buttons at the bottom of
the screen that shows the message about document recovery. However,
I've figured out that by striking S, then N, I can open up the
document or spread sheet I'm actually trying to work with.
That led to other problems this morning. I tried to print out a
spread sheet so I could read it with magnification apart from the
computer, but I couldn't get it to print at all. I couldn't tab to
whatever control I needed to make it work.
I don't know how much of this is related to my lack of ability to
access the programs with my screen reader, but is it necessary to
uninstall and reinstall to resolve any of this?
