I downloaded open office and now I can't open any old files.
mailto:dev-...@openoffice.appache.org
Help please:
I have two serious problems:
1. I downloaded Apache Open Office and now I can’t open any of my files. They ball are locked.
2. Earlier today I downloaded an article called Mozilla support and Firefox. It explains the basic set up but I don’t understand anything.
It says
1. Open a tab with the webpage you want to use and your home page button.
2. Drag and drop that tab onto the home page button.
There are 8 pages that might as well be Greek.
I don’t understand a word.
I am an educated woman and I HAVE USED A COMPUTER FOR 20 years, but my literacy in these things is nil.
I have a scholarly manuscript ready for publishing, an now I can’t open even one page of it and there are 24 chapters.
I am poor and can’t afford a technician.
I haven’t got time to mess around and wait.

Have you previously had OpenOffice installed on your computer, or is this a first time install? What is the filetype (the three or four letter extension) of your existing files?

Why am I reminded of Talleyrand? - no matter!

How did you prepare this manuscript - what program did you use? Has it been transferred from another computer? What file type is it?

So, aren't we all?

The sooner you answer the above questions, the sooner someone can help, subject to the demands of real life on them.
