Late last month I sent the following request for help to the help users group.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For many years I have been a user of the NeoOffice suite of applications and have been satisfied with their performance and operation. I purchased a new iMac desktop this summer and have noted some incompatibilities with it and NeoOffice. I downloaded Apache Open Office version 4.1.4 and now use it as my everyday application for text and spreadsheets. The iMac is using IO S version 10.13.2/High Sierra . However, I have an open issue with OpenOffice Writer. When I enter data, after a few seconds the screen text becomes “fuzzy”, obscured and hard to read. In addition, I note numerous dim triangles in the margins and body of the screen text. I can clear the "fuzzyness" by 'Selecting All'; the text becomes comes clear and legible. However, the "fuzziness" returns after a few seconds. I have searched the Open Office help screens and a early version of the users manual but I cannot find any reference to the cause and correction method to eliminate the fuzziness. Thanks in advance for your help. Don Minow dmi...@comcast.net mailto:dmi...@comcast.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I received a private response from an individual to the effect that he/she did not believe it it was an Open Office problem and suggested that I try finding some help elsewhere, possibly on a Mac OS x forum or blog. I have diligently searched as best I can, but with no success. The "fuzzyness" problem has escaped my best attempts to resolve it. The problem occurs only with OOWriter. OOSpreadsheets works just fine - no "fuzzyness". I am limping along with Apple's Text editor as my word processor, but it has some limitations compared to OOWriter. I wonder if this is some sort of privacy or masking feature that may have been inadvertently selected Can you suggest some additional steps that I can try? It is almost impossible to used OOWriter in its present form. I can provide some screen shots of this problem if it will help in resolving it for me. Don Minow dmi...@comcast.net
