any maybe one of you brainiacs should do that.I'm more confused now than before. are there any videos where I can watch a software expert demonstrate exactly how to do this. I think it would be better, configuring code and adding code snippets be left to the programmers of this software and not expect uninformed folks like myself to enter code and the like just to fix issues like this. I think that for those who do not understand, like myself, on how to insert info into the File Explorer, there has to be a better way.

Thanks for telling me about the stats bar. Then I carefully remove the hard drives and pack them in their original packaging and bubble wrap for transport. If I do, I shut the computer down first, and also turn off power tot the USB hub. I also rarely disconnect my USB hard drives. Unless you mean not to close all my open AOO docs at once by clicking the "X" in the upper right-hand corner? Or not to open too many AOO docs at once? I fixed the problem by using Windows XP add/remove programs facility to verify the install of open office 3.0. After I close AOO, I wait a few minutes before shutting down to allow time for buffering. Hi, I had the same problem with getting spell checker to work after installing openoffice 3.0 and though I found the advice on the web site easy to understand, it didnt seem to work. You work direct to a USB device? Do you observe the operating system's USB removal protocol? Failure to do this can cause file corruption as you report.ĭo the appdata fix, renaming the existing user folder to user.old, so that you can bring forward any existing customisation, although much of this may have been lost in the corruption of the user profile, as indicated by the red underlining. If you look at a red underlined file, in the middle if the Status bar (bottom bar of OO window) you should see the language OO thinks was used in the file. The red underlines are because OO has lost the language for the files this is because you close your OpenOffice and computer too hastily, without allowing time for the internal buffering in the hard disk to flush to disk.

Is it because it is free? For example, I get corrupted files that AOO can't open correctly every week since I store these files on a portable hard drive, rather than my C drive. In the meantime, I have disabled auto spell checking as you type, to get rid of those red lines. Is there any easier way, like uninstalling then reinstalling AOO? When I did something like this on Firefox, I believe, I always got a message that this may void my warranty. However, it involved complex and potentially dangerous renaming of your App Data folders.
