No help for me on the Forum.....

[Steven <sw...@gmail.com>]

Just an average long-time OO user in the middle of transitioning to new W10 laptop. 

When I installed  OO on the new laptop, it seemed to go smoothly. 

However, my saved docs and spreadsheet are nowhere to be found on in the new program. 

What did I do wrong and what’s the fix to get the new OO to see my previously saved files?

Any assistance would be appreciated, thanx,

Hi Steven,

Your data files (eg. documents and spreadsheets, etc.) were created
using an edition of Apache OpenOffice installed on another computer and
those files were saved to folders *ON* the drive of that computer, they
were not stored *INSIDE* the Apache OpenOffice program. If you copy
those data files from the original computer over to your new Windows 10
laptop the installed edition of Apache OpenOffice on the laptop will be
able to find them.

Regards
Dave
