Not my first time using Open Office but not that far from it. I have used it before but don't have much need for text documents with what I do, so I've not used it much. However, when I have used it, it has seemed to be like a pretty standard text creating system and as thus I have been treating it like one. I write my text, save it and the next time I open it the text is all there save for me. However, this time it was different. I opened the document that I had been working on for two days and instead of opening, a box popped up asking me to register. Thinking this could do no harm I registered. Next it asked me what type of text I wanted to create with a drop down box of options. I didn't understand any of the options but I chose one anyway. The document, that was all nicely saved yesterday then showed as five pages of #####################. I closed it and reopened it choosing another of the drop down box options. Five pages of ############### again. I have now tried every single option on that drop down box and five pages of ################## is all I can get.
Can anyone help me please?
