Unless your university specifically said it was either in Open Office format (and was it a spreadsheet rather than a document?), Open Office might nor have recognized the “import” when it was saving - especially if it happened in other applications. Perhaps your University should be advised of the problem.
Apach Open Office is not a company like Microsoft. The is no company to contact for help, just the mailing list that has been trying to help (and a few really dedicated people on that list). Dave B.

I didn’t realise this was going to a mailing list, I was just trying to contact the company itself for online support. Apologies! I had saved it in .odt format, and it was a template (document) given by my university for me to fill in. The same thing happened (column disappearing) when I used it on other applications too. Anyway, I have typed up my answers in the disappearing column in a seperate document now, without using the template. I think the document was just uneditable in open office. Thank you again for the replies I appreciate it. Bella > On 5 Mar 2020, at 2:39 am, Alan B <abo...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Is the template publicly available?
