[Solved] Can't open files

Post by Max1950 »

Can't open files in OpenOffice.

I can only open 1 file, an odt. Trying to open any other files, .odt or .odts, I get the spinning wheel, then it times out. Rebooted twice. Downloaded and reinstalled OO. Was working fine until a couple of hours ago. Everything else - Chrome, Firefox, etc - works fine. Nothing downloaded [except for OO].

See the Writer Guide, the Writer FAQ, the Writer Tutorials and Writer for students.

Remember: Always save your Writer files as .odt files. - see here for the many reasons why.
