Transition of Open Office to Catalina on a Mac Book Pro
I had been using Open Office for years on my old and new Mac Book Pro. However, when I updated to Catalina - Apple’s latest OS version 10:15:3 a few days ago, I have lost the ability to use Open Office and all of my documents and spread sheets on that current version.
Is there anyway I can upload a newer version and which one should I use for a Mac Book Pro?
Also, if I download a new Open Office version - is there any way, I can retrieve my old files from the previous version?
Thanks so much for your help. Nancy Springs

The information above is correct; when the OpenOffice for Catalina is installed, you may not see your recent documents on the OO Recent Documents list. This is only a lit of shortcuts to their locations on your computer. If in OO you use /File /Open and navigate to the folders in which the files were saved, as you open each file it will then appear on the recent documents list.

Nancy,
Yes you need to update OpenOffice on all of your computers. Only download from: https://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html the official site. Make sure you read and follow all directions, such as dealing with the Gatekeeper.
