I've been using Open Office for over 10 years. Yesterday, however, it opened to a window asking me to register. I didn't want to complicate things by starting a new account, I clicked on the second option (don't remember what it said) and it opened Office but without any of my Recent Files, and all the settings for my display had changed. Worse, when I did open a file, it seemed EVERY WORD was highlighted.
Then, after working for over 2 hours on a document, which I saved periodically, the program froze and I wasn't able to do anything except turn off my computer and restart. Fortunately, most of the changes in that document were still there, but I have had problems with Open Office freezing, although it usually is only that program, and not my entire computer. So, it seems most of these problems occured because I was asked to register after all these years. It's also very frustrating to have to hunt and peck to reset the way my tools are displayed, and to not have Recent Documents available. Finally, it's impossible to read through the document when everything is highlighted. Previously, the spell check was essentially useless, so I would copy the text elsewhere to check for errors. Now it's on hyperdrive! I hope you can help me. Below is a screenshot of how that document looks. This is a time sensitive issue, so I hope you can help me resolve it promptly.
