Re: -----HEEEELLLLLLLP ...
It appears the other guy didn't even comprehend my email--I DID REGISTER.
But what's the point if there's no way to post a question?
*HOW DO WE POST A QUESTION* after we've logged in (as I wasted time doing
and searched EVERYWHERE IN THE FORUM)?
It seems each year OO collapses more easily.
If i paste even more than 1 screenshot, i'm never sure if it will save or
freeze up.
That's tough.
I'm using Windows 10 and the newest OO and the McAfee that comes with a
computer.
Also I've had docs I AM SURE I SAVED PROPERLY turn into # the next time i
open them.
I read your answers when I Googled solutions but it was meaningless
gibberish--total waste of time along with being frazzling. I wouldn't
expect you to know ANY of the terms used in my fields of expertise.
Sure would appreciate knowing how to rectify these w/o having to become an
expert in YOUR tech area.
Thank you for any help that really HELPS.

You didn't inform Hagar of your registration name, so it wasn't possible to check if you had activated the account; non-activation is possibly a reason why you cannot post a question.

It can happen that the OpenOffice user profile becomes corrupt, which can cause instability. The cure for this is to delete or rename the old user profile; OO will then generate a new profile on next startup.
Details of the User Profile for various operating systems
are given in
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/v ... 74&t=12426
If you are using Windows close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter. Open File
Explorer. Copy and paste %appdata%\OpenOffice\4 in the File Explorer
Address Bar and press Enter. Rename the "user" folder - "user.old" is a
good choice. Start OpenOffice.
If that does not improve stability, start Windows in Safe Mode. If OO runs stable in Windows safe mode the culprit is some program or driver that runs in Windows normal mode, which program or driver is interfering with OpenOffice. Common culprits are Skype, Anti virus, continuous backup programs and utilities which monitor the Clipboard. To locate the culprit needs systematic detective work on the affected computer.

If one is over-hasty in powering down or sleeping the computer after OO has been closed, this interrupts OO's internal housekeeping and causes file corruption. One should go through the operating system's power down procedure and wait some few extra seconds for the software/hardware data buffers to flush. Hardware databuffers are in the hard disk drives - if power is removed from these (by computer power down), such data may not be written to disk, hence the #### display of the blank area prepared for, but not used by, the data.

If I needed to know such terms I'd find out.
