[Solved] OpenOffice will not close

Post by welchjm2 »

I opened the Open Office program several days ago, and it won’t close. The Open Office Document Recovery box opened. The Start recovery and Cancel buttons do not work. I don’t know what to do next to get the open windows off the screen. I also cannot Restart or Shut Down my computer because the program will not close.

Your signature doesn't tell us what operating system you use. I will guess that it is MacOS. Version 4.1.2 is ten years old. Do you still use it?

If you still have trouble after closing the program and restarting your Mac see:

Yes. I still use it. I do the updates, but did not know there was a new version. I was able to Force Quit to close the program and log out of my computer. Everything works now. Thank you for your reply.
