[Solved] LibreOffice menu drop downs blank
Posted: Thu Aug 16, 2018 2:24 pm
Hi,
I am having a bad day and need some help.
I just downloaded LibreOffice 6.0 and I was able to open an existing Open Office document but all the drop down menus from buttons are just blank grey boxes. For a moment, I had something on insert table and I create 1 column 2 row, but that was it, menus then disappeared again. I can create a new doc but still not able to do anything because all menus blank and none of the buttons work.
I have downloaded Libre Office to replace Open Office 4.1.5 which I have used for many years but over this last week keeps jamming up, particularly using copy/paste, before resorting to Libre Office, I tried to update Open Office but got a message: Error reading data from the Internet. Server error message: .
I am working on a research report so there is much copying and pasting of gathered material. I have a time limit on the report, so the problems are now causing me grief.
Whilst I am not techy skilled, I can usually sort out most issues with care and patience but this is defeating me.
I have not got any other problems with the pc.
Should I uninstall & reinstall one or both?? or is they something I have missed.
Any help or advice would be welcome
