Migration from OpenOffice 3 to new version 4
Hello
I just downloaded the new version of Open Office Calc, migrating thus from vsn 3 to vsn 4.
Annoyingly I HAVE LOST AN IMPORTANT SPREADSHEET…why was it not converted into the new format under the new version I downloaded…I am cross!
Tried to do a system restore to get rid of new version, did not work…

you mean you created a spreadsheet with an old version and now the new version can't open it? then, what extension does your spreadsheet have? corel's quattro pro spreadsheets (*.qpw) are no longer supported due to license incompatibility, and so does legacy staroffice file format, *.sdc.

The new version uses the same file formats as the old, so there should
be no issue there. I have been using OpenOffice for years and never had
a problem moving between versions. Why do you think there's a problem.
What error messages are you getting? Did you download from
www.openoffice.org? I hope you didn't pay someone for it, as it's free.
