You didn't say what version of Office you are running. Knowing M$Soft your version may not be compatible with Widows 10 ( which I am avoiding like the plague) Good Luck,

I cannot give any advice to John with his problem but I would caution
anyone who upgrades to Windows 10, before doing anything else to check the
Tools > Options > Language Settings > Language of Apache Open Office. (This
is if they are using anything other that English (USA).
My sad experience was that Windows 10 was put onto my computer without me
being aware of it. I later found that the Options I had previously set for
languages, which was English (Australian) had been changed to English
(USA).  This changed formatting such as dates in all my OpenOffice Calc
files.  When I reset the formatting in the Options all the dates became
corrupted and ended up being shown as a four year and one day difference in
everything.  The only thing I could do then, apart from going through all
the settings for OpenOffice in the Options in case anything else had been
changed, was to start new files for everything I was currently wanting to
use from the date I found the errors. The old files I have retained are of
very little use to me now.
