Suddenly can't open my files

Post by BRENERDA »

Hi, Been using Open Office for years. I have most current version 15. I am the owner and administrator of all files historically. I have re-booted system. All of a sudden I can't open any files. Says I do not have permission. I go to share and I see I am listed as Owner. I also allowed file to be shared by all. Still can not open any files. Any ideas. Thank you.

This is nowadays a common complaint here for folks using OpenOffice on Windows 10 and 11 systems. Try switching from OpenOffice to LibreOffice and see if that solves the issue. There are several good reasons for making the switch anyway, some of which are mentioned here: [Tutorial] Considering a Switch from OpenOffice to LibreOffice? Some Useful Information
LibreOffice (Still) 24.2.7.2 (x64) installed to Windows 11 Pro.
Apache OpenOffice Portable 4.1.15 [Portable Apps]
For Java I use Adoptium Temurin JRE LTS Releases.
