[Solved] OpenOffice 4.1.7 doesn't load

Post by alchemist1 »

I downloaded OO4.1.7. After some trouble I managed to get it to open, but the start page doesn't show up. When I open it from the applications folder, I get a start page but the version shows as 4.1.5. What has happened to 4.1.7?

Welcome to the Forums.
I'm going to recommend you read the Mac FAQ specifically Q03/A03 which deals with installing on a Mac.
If the start page is showing 4.1.5, then I suspect that you didn't install 4.1.7 and your system is still seeing the 4.1.5 version.
Installing OpenOffice is not the same as downloading it. More information in the FAQ.
OpenOffice 4.1.7, LibreOffice 7.0.1.2 on Windows 7 Pro, Ultimate & Windows 10 Home (2004)

I did as you said. Everything works fine now. Computer recognises the new build. I can write documents.
However
Every time I load a document I get a General error, general input/output error window, big red cross and something about basic error.
Explain this to me and what I can do to rectify.
