OpenOffice Calc problem
Hello,
I use OpenOffice for spreadsheet applications. Some started from an XLS file
(imported file), then I save them as an ODS file. My problem is that MOST of
the time the spreadsheet will NOT close when I want it to close. I usually
have to force it to close, which means I always have to run the recovery for
the file when that happens. Can you tell me why this almost ALWAYS happens
in OpenOffice and if there is anything differently I can do so I won't
always have this experience?
I am running OpenOffice.org Calc, V3.3.0, OS is Windows Vista Home 32 bit on
a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop.

You've given "the whole world" *way* too much private info. Stand back for
an avalanche of crapmail.

Of course I don't have a clue what is causing your problem, but if it was
me, my first step would be to replace that old version of Apache OpenOffice
with the most current one and see if the problem persists.
If that doesn't help, I would suspect that there is something in the
original XLS file that doesn't convert properly to the ODS format. To test
this, I would probably open a new spreadsheet, then open your problem
spreadsheet and copy all the cells from the old to the new file and then
save the new file to another name.
If the problem still persists, I would try the same thing again, but this
time not copying cell formats, just formulas and values. If this works, I
would format the spreadsheet manually and continue using it instead of the
old one.
If this doesn't turn out well, I would probably scratch my head for a while
and come up with something new, but I don't know what at the moment…
So a little bit of a trial and error approach, that is… :)
Kind regards
