[Solved] OpenOffice fails to open WORD documents «Q55»

Post by jonyboyjpk »

I can no longer open word documents with openoffice. When I try to open a word document, OO opens but just sits and doesn't do anything. No error or process seemingly stuck in limbo. Does anyone know what is going on? Really frustrating!

Try restarting your computer. If that doesn't work, come back for more help.

Q55: Why can't I open the "new" Microsoft formats, DOCX/XLSX/PPTX?
