Word program crashed

[Eleanor Lawrie <el...@gmail.com>]

I have had trouble lately opening documents. This morning it was suddenly
impossible. Finally a screen told me the program (I guess the whole Open
Office although I only use the word part) had crashed and by restarting my
computer it would right itself.

However, before that message about the crash came up I followed a
troubleshooting directive and when it finished it asked me to say OK to
something it changed.

Now when I try to open a document it says Error, this operation needs
elevation.

Also, when I try to open Open Office from my desktop shortcut, a window
asked if I would allow this unknown source to make changes, and when I
click Yes, nothing happens, it just goes away.  I assumed this was part of
the self-recovery.

Is there a way to recover my word program without taking the computer to a
repair person?

Thanks,
Eleanor Lawrie

If the auto-recovery isn't successful than you can check the backup 
directory.
A backup file depends on your settings under Tools --> Options --> Load/save
The directory is under Tools --> Options --> OpenOffice --> Paths
