Apache OpenOffice Community Forum

I have been using OpenOffice 4.1.3 for a couple of years. Recently, I was unable to open a document, and saw somehow that 4.1.7 was available, so I installed it. After that, when I wanted to open a document, the only Apache option offered for opening the document was the 4.1.7 installation. Reinstallation did nothing to allow me to open the document. I went to this forum for help and saw that the latest version is 4.1.11, so I installed that. Now my only option is an eternal reinstallation of either .11 or .7. I still can't just open a document. What am I missing?

Please tell us the error message you get when you attempt to open a document with OpenOffice.

Thank you for the response. I think the issue is with the document that was sent. I've gone back to older attachments and have been able to open them with V. 11

Knowing the error message could help us solve the problem with that document.
