Can't Get Rid of Window
1. I have a Mac OS 10.8.4. When I call up a document using Apache OpenOffice I get a message that says: "The last time you opened OpenOffice.org it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again? If you choose not to reopen windows, you may have to open and position the windows yourself." Two options are given: "Don't Reopen" and "Reopen". Selecting either option does not get rid of the window.
2. My OpenOffice is locked up. The only way that I can quit is to "Force Quit". However, every time that I call up OpenOffice I get the same message.
3. I have gone to your help page and tried some of the remedies that have worked for others. However, they don't work for me. What can I do?

The release notes http://www.openoffice.org/development/releases/3.4.1.html , under known
problems, state
"On recent versions of Mac OS X it might happen, especially after a "Force quit", that the
following error message appears: "Restore Windows - The application OpenOffice.org was
forced to quit while trying to restore its windows. Do you want to try to restore its
windows again?". If you cannot get rid of it: Option-click the "Go" menu; choose "Library"
from the menu to open the folder in the Finder; click on the folder "Saved Application
State"; delete the file "org.openoffice.script.savedState". See bug 119006 for more
information."

The restorewindows problem is common on a Mac and there are many reports of it on the Forum and many discussions of how to fix.
