Out of bounds error

[Bumpalot]

Am constantly getting this annoying error every time I try to edit an existing text file.
The moment I click anywhere in the document, this error pops up:
[img]file:///home/bumpy/Desktop/Pictures/ForumPics/index%20out%20of%20bounds.png[/img]
I click OK & the document closes.
How can I correct this?

What has changed compared to your former topic: [Solved] Cannot edit any existing OpenOffice document?
Note that you need to upload the file, the img tag works only for online files.

Reason for starting a new tag was that since I closed the previous one, & didn't know how to "un-solve" it, best start a new tag.
Using Synaptic, I totally uninstalled Open Office- then after reboot, re-installed. Still getting this same message with every doc I open. Open Office is totally useless at the moment.
Any ideas how to solve this dilemma?

To "unsolve" a topic, just remove the tag and the green icon in the first post of the topic and post your update as a new post in that same topic.

But back to your issue, had you made some progress with the topics linked to the error message?

[Bumpalot]

The only "progress" is that the "out of bounds" error only occurs when the document contains a screen shot, or on adding a screenshot. Have previously created many documents containing screenshots, with no trouble.

Have you downloaded and installed any extension to assist with the screenshots? If so, check that such extensions work with OO 4, as errors similar to this seem to originate from using extensions for OO3 with OO4.

[Bumpalot]

How do I determine what extensions I currently use & where to obtain OO 4 if needed?

How are you inserting the pictures into the document?

[Bumpalot]

Using KSnapshot /paste into Document

[Hagar Delest]

If you save the pic first with a picture manager (The Gimp for example), and then Insert>Picture>From file, is it better?

[RoryOF]

I am fairly sure you are using OO 4.1.1. /Help /About will tell you for certain. Extensions installed are shown in /Tools /Extension Manager.

[Bumpalot]

Sorry for the ignorance, but where can I find /Help /About?
For sure I do have Apache OpenOffice 4.1.1

[RoryOF]

/Help is on the main menu in OpenOffice at the far right. /Tools is two or three places to the left of /Help

[RusselB]

For me, the Help menu is the last one on the right at the top of the document, no matter which part of OO I'm using.
In Windows I can also use Alt+H for Help
After that I can use Alt+b for About OpenOffice
