[Solved] "Reopen window" gets stuck!

Post by marjolein_C »

Hello,

My Open Office gives me this window with the following message:
"The last time you opened OpenOffice, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again?"

Problem:
I can't click on "don't reopen" or Reopen". It just stays there.
I't possible to work on a file, but I can't copy or paste text.
I can't save the file, so that's pretty annoying.

What I've tried:
- Reinstalling the program.
- Go to finder and try to find the library to erase the entire org.openoffice.script.savedState Folder. There's no library. I have OSX Yosemite 10.10.3

So..I would like to know how I can fix this hidden code somewhere and just use Open office again, because I like working with it.

Thank you!

Thank you!
I saw that topic before and I couldn't open the Library folder. But I think I hit "cmd" instead of the option / alt key. Weird that they hide the library that way.
But I'm glad it's fixed now! Many thanks!!!
