Problem with Open Office 2.1 version - apps are missing, only got writer

I downloaded open office 2.1 from openoffice.org website, had installed x-11 into utility folder - that was fine- when i open the app it all looks good except it opens with the Writer program and there are no menus to get into all the other applications like calc, base, draw, math etc- I really need the calc which is compatible with ms excel-
Any suggestions on what can be wrong ?
Thanks

Hi Tony,
Welcome to the forum.
I haven't downloaded or installed it but, if my memory is still good and they haven't changed the menubar items from version 1.1, once you got the application fired up, from the menubar select File->New and then select the application you want from the New submenu; spreadheet, draw etc etc.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

I recently upgraded to Lion, and immediately started having consistent problems with Open Office 12 (would hang, and need a Force quit to recover). Has anybody else seen these problems? Any solutions other than going back to Snow Leopard? (I did).

Hi Pete. The repair of disk permissions can help resolve any application crashing or misbehaving.
As for Lion and the two camps, I think that is a reasonable observation. In my office we have about a dozen Mac's and about one third of those Mac's had problems after updating from 10.6 to 10.7. The main problem for these Mac's was a loss of wifi stability. But for the other two-thirds, Lion was a smooth transition.
Personally, my Lion experience was fine. But I did get a new i7 MacBook Pro with Lion already installed and only had to migrate my user data from a 10.6.8 TM backup.
So I think that is a key for Lion's operational success. A clean install of Lion on a new Mac would not cause too many operational issues. But an installation, or more correctly, an update to Lion from SL increased the chances of failure for some users - especially when old software & plugins resided on the Mac. And I would say that they were the people that you saw at the Apple store.
As for the "latest release of Lion fixed my problems" statement, my experience with these and other forums is that people mostly only go there to complain about the problems they are having. If they are having no problems then they either keep it to themselves or they try to help the users who are experiencing trouble...

It should unzip if you double-cick.
What are you seeing happen when you do that?
Select a .zip file in the Finder and Get Info (cmd-i). What is set for it to Open With. It should be Archive Utility.

Problem with opening latest version of iTunes

I see there's a lot of problems with the most recent iTunes version, and I just happen to have another one to pile onto the list (I'm so very sorry):
Ok, when I tried to buy a video in the Music Store, it said I needed to upgrade my iTunes (which I did). It installed the latest version (of iTunes and Quicktime), and when it was done I tried opening iTunes... It wouldn't open. It said I needed a "later version of Quicktime" (7.1.3) and that I should reinstall iTunes. I'm freaking out because I don't want to reinstall iTunes for fear of losing everything that was on it before I tried upgrading. And why would iTunes not download the latest version of Quicktime too? Why did it download the 7.0.3 version? I've upgraded before, and it's never done this... What's wrong? Is it Quicktime? Is it iTunes?... Is my brain defective?

let's try this technique first.
head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

Associating .doc files with open office

I have open office installed on my iMac. When I open an MS Word document using the basic File--->Open it opens it with no problem.
However, when I click on it I get an error dialog that says the "script could not be run because.
-43"
How can I associate documents with open office?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

What version of OO are you using? Are you using some sort of OO launching script? Do you have the current version of X11 installed?
I don't use OO rather I use NeoOffice Aqua because it doesn't require the use of X11.

There is a problem with the Office database - Office 2011

Good day!
I recently installed Office 2011 for Mac and i'm getting the following error message: There is a problem with the Office database. Excel comes up with the error message but i am able to get past the error and open the application, but it freezes when I try on Word. I have to force quit the application to close it completely.
I've searched online and tried all the suggestions - even those from the discussion board: Problem with Office Mac 2011 database. I've completely removed traces of the software : http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2398768 and reinstalled using the disc, as well as followed suggestions to rebuild the database. I also installed the latest Office update: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44026 from Excel (As it was the only one I know of that's functioning after the error message) but to no avail.
Here are the tech specs:
OS X
version 10.9.5
Office 2011 for Mac
Version 14.4.4 (140807)
Update: 14.4.4
Hope you guys can point me to the right direction. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Best ask question on one of the Microsoft boards.
Could try NeoOffice.

Problem with Microsoft office since new firefox installation

I have never had a problem with Microsoft Office --ever. I can have 4+ windows open at once. Since installation the latest version of Firefox many things have changed. The most troublesome is that I cannot open any office programs (word, excel, etc). They try to open and then give me an error message.

Victorymarketin, welcome to the forum.
Since they are both Microsoft programs, I suggest contacting MS Customer Service for help. They have always gotten me up and running in short order. This is always my solution when I have MS related problems. They if anyone can, will solve your problem.

Problems with Airport setup after buying Version 7 models, (older ones will not upgrade)

Problems with Airport setup after buying Version 7 models, (older ones will not upgrade)
I re set up my Airport network , having had 4 expresses for years doing a good job. I bought another and an express, but then a time capsule after my external drive died. .Problems with Airport setup after buying Version 7 models, (older ones will not upgrade)
I moved house and have fibre network so 38mb/s - they all look ok on the utility, but its not till I saw the App version that they are not compatible as mac will not upgrade the version 6 ones, leaving me with 2 disjointed networks and 7 appliances, 4 of the old , 3 of the new.
my new house is expansive so i wanted the extended range and airplay in each room.
This is not told to customers, and utility doesnt show any issues.
I do not seem to get any range from either network now, - and I'm quite experienced with airport (6 yrs of setting up & using & extending)
Any advice ?

Problems with opening Acrobat Pro 9 PDF files

Hi. We use Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 to convert our product documentation Word files into PDFs. During the last weeks our customers report more and more problems with opening these files. We usually deliver those on a DVD with Acrobat Reader 5 or another older version. (Please don't ask me why we're still on these old versions!) Did anyone experience similar problems with Acrobat Pro 9 PDF files and older versions of the Acrobat Reader? Does Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 work smoothly with the newest Acrobat Reader 9.1 download?
Please post your comments. Thx a lot - Kay

I would recommend distributing higher version of Reader as version 5 is just too old but looks like you can't go there.
Acrobat 9 PDFMaker and Adobe PDF printers by default create PDF 1.5 compaible files. PDF 1.5 compatible files can be opened only in Acrobat 6 and above. That's probably the reason why your customers can't see the contents.
What you can do is to change your conversion settings to produce PDF 1.4 compatible files:
- In Word, select Acrobat tab or Adobe PDF menu (depending on your version of Word), select Settings
- Select "advanced settings" in the dialog that comes up
- Choose compatibility as "Acrobat 5", PDF 1.4
IF you print to Adobe PDF printer, you'll find a similar setting in the print dialog.

Is anyone experiencing problems with opening mission control from the desktop. Running mountain lion with parallels 7 and windows 7

is anyone experiencing problems with opening mission control from the desktop. Running mountain lion with parallels 7 and windows 7

I had been having a similar problem on Lion with Safari pdf files despite downloading the latest Adobe Reader XI.
I would constantly get the same messages - There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. And I would get a blank page when I tried to print the pdf if I tried printing from the Safari web page using File - Print from the top toolbar on my laptop.
Then I came across the grey Safari lozenge with action icons.
This allowed me, without downloading the pdf, to print the pdf file direct from the Safari page by using the Print icon on the grey lozenge that appears centrally three quarters down the screen.
Then I discovered that if I save the pdf using the Save icon from this same grey lozenge on the Safari page I can open and print this pdf version from my desktop.
I've tested it with a couple of different pdf files and these methods work using the grey lozenge icons but the same pdfs files don't work using File - Save As on the Tool Bar.

Problems with open an Indesign-Document over Network

Hallo,
we have a specialized problem with opening indesign-documents over network. Our users works with windows-pc (windows7) and adobe CS5 and CS6 and they will use there documents which are on our macserver 4.0 which works on OS X 10.10.2.
Sometimes the usurers become this Message
Wouldn't work indesign proberly on windows with documents which are on a macserver?
Please help me.
best regards
chris mueller

@Naga Sai J – you cannot open an InDesign CS4 file in the previous version.
But you can export an exchange file format for InDesign CS3.
Go to File/Export and chose INX for export: "InDesign CS3 Interchange-Format (INX)"
That .inx file could be opened with InDesign CS3.
After opening the .inx file, examine it well!
Some things might have changed (things regarding to newer or changed features from InDesign CS4).

OBI compatibility with Open Office

Hello,
I would like to know if OBI is compatible with Open Office.
Is it possible to download report in Open Office?
The Office Add-in exists for Open Office?
Thanks in advance

I have tried to open downloaded reports in Open Office and have no success with it. If I choose "Download to Excel" Open Office can not recognize generated report - there is something like

When I am trying "Download to Excel 2000" option Open Office is able to show me correct data from report, but completely ignores all formatting.
What is the best way to automatically convert this xls to ods file?

Snow Leopard Problems with Microsoft Office 2004

I installed Snow Leopard about two months ago. Ever since I have nad problems opening Microsoft Worrd 2004. Every time I try to open Word it hangs up at "Optimizing font menu performance..." Before I installed Snow Leopard I had no problems with any Office 2004 applications. I also have a lot of problems with fonts when I open Safari.

This message occurs whenever your installed fonts change. I work for a publisher so was getting it all the time as I turned fonts on and off for different projects.
In Office 2004, do this:
1. Go to */Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Support Files/*
2. Rename or move FontCacheTool. (Requires administrator access)
In Office 2011, do this:
1. Go to *~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2011/*
2. Delete *Office Font Cache*
3. From Terminal, type touch" then drag in the Office 2011 folder
4. Back in the Finder, do Get Info on the new, empty *Office Font Cache* file. Make it read only and lock it.
Notes:
1. WYSIWYG menus will now just show the font name in standard font.
2. You may be able to disable the 'optimising' message more easily by going to Word's preferences and turning off the 'WYSIWYG font and style menus' tick box in the General section. This takes affect in all Office applications but doesn't seem as reliable at preventing the caching problem.
4. Newly added fonts should still appear when you next start an Office application.
3. However you have Office set up, it can't see certain fonts. They are the ones logged to Console, e.g.:
12/04/2011 09:58:14 /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/ATS.framewo rk/Support/fontd[21782] ATS Font family could not be created for Abaton ITC Std - Legacy Applications may not see this font
