How do I fix formatting errors in Open Office after downloading Microsoft Office 2011 on my mac?

I have used Open Office for almost 2 years. I recently downloaded Microsoft Office 2011 and now, not only can I not use Open office due to formatting issues, I cannot read any of my documents that were saved in Open Office unless I open them in TextEdit or copy and paste into microsoft word. Does any know of any solutions to this problem?? I tried deleting Microsoft office but that did not fix the issue. This is my first mac... and I love Open Office and prefer it over microsoft...

Crabtree1234,
Try this:
Install LibreOffice (https://www.libreoffice.org/)
Open your OpenOffice document(s)
Do a "Save As" and choose "Word Document (.docx)"
Then try opening them in Word.  LibreOffice is mostly the same as OpenOffce but LibreOffice has support for saving .docx files.  Here is more about the crazy history of the relationship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreOffice).
This may or may not help with the formatting as any conversion of one document format to another is bound to cause issues.
Good luck.

  • How do I set Firefox to automatically open documents after download is complete?

    Currently, the way it is is setup causes the attachment to download, then the downloads go to my download folder on my desktop. To open a downloaded document, I open that folder then click on the document. I seem to remember a time when clicking on the attachment brought up a dialogue box giving user choice of saving or opening ... if the choice is no longer, I would like to simply open.

    Hello Kwastfamily,
    It sounds like you are unable to print from your computer to your printer. I would run through the troubleshooting steps in this article:
    Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
    Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
    Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
    Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
    Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
    Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • TS1424 how do i fix itunes error -1202

    how can i fix itunes error -1202

    I have a potential fix for error 4002.  It looks like it has something to do with the format of the file not being compatible with itune match.  What we tried was going into your itunes library and doing a right-click on the song(s) that aren't downloading.  You should see an option to change the format of the file.  We changed it to MP3 and this worked.  Hope this is helpful!

  • How do I fix this error message??

    How do I fix this error message
    "This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
    The SMTP server "smtp.mac.com" doesn't support TLS (SSL) on port 25. Please check your account settings and try again."
    ThANK YOU!!!
    Rich

    Mail Help has some articles devoted to sending problems, e.g. “I can't send email” or “I can't send email because the connection to the server on port 25 timed out”. You may want to take a look at them in case there is something there that applies to you.
    Something that usually works if you’re trying to use an outgoing (SMTP) server different from the one provided by your ISP (and in the case of .Mac in particular) is changing the outgoing server port to 587 instead of 25 in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Server Settings.

  • HT201401 how can i fix an error 1601 restore

    how can i fix 1601 error on iphone 4

    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

    You don't give much information so I'm going to guess you're using a text box, perhaps in a layout document. Click on the little empty blue box on the lower right side, then click where you want the text to continue.
