open office-HELP!!!
Dear Sir,
Having used Open Office successfully for several years it is now unusable and rubbish. I have taken it off and reinstalled several times with no beneficial effect. this is a screen shot of recent work.I have installed a Mac cleaner at cost, and am totally frustrated as I am the Treasurer of a Museum and the Secretary of a Gardening club and have other roles where I need Open Office urgently.
I am now considering a Micro Soft package as I cannot sort this out. It has happened in the past few weeks. Any hi lighting I do is in Black. The print goes furry and sometimes doubles up, I cannot delete cells easily . I could go on and on but am at my wits end.
I hope you can help
Yours
Sue Johnston

Hi Sue,
You can also a different computer.
About your Mac, which version of the OS? Did you install your cleaner before or after the trouble started? Are your fonts still correct? You might try to look with the “FontBook” application.
You can also try to get help at https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/ <https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/>

Dave

Looks like a hardware issue, I have never seen anything like this in Apache
OpenOffice.
What happens if you open the same file with LibreOffice?
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/?type=mac-x86_64
Choose the ”still” version, 5.2.6.
Kind regards

Forgot to ask… did you install that ”Mac cleaner” before or after this
problem occured? Some ”cleaners” are actually malware, I think…
Kind regards
