[Solved] Office won't open

Post by jrmanhardt »

when I double clic on my Office Icon or on any Office document, nothing happens. It is like the program is turned off. Everything else seems normal and I can open other files and pics. Is it a bug? I have a lenovo ThinkPad. Is there something that is "turned off?"

The most likely cause is a hung process. Press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC and on the Processes tab look for names that start with soffice. Select those and click End Process. You will get a warning that you can ignore.
