[linux-help] Re: Open Office Calc help requested

[ironrose <ironrose@xxxxxxx>]

I am unable to OO Calc to recover and I have reinstalled and uninstalled 
and then reinstalled several times.  This is really a strange problem, 
yours as well as mine.  I am use to using Excel and Gnumeric.  I made 
the mistake of installing Star Office 6.0 over Open Office.  Then I 
couldn't get either to work.  I am use to formatting a cell or cell in 
the date format that I want, but I have found a few quirky things with 
Open Office.  Let me see what I can find out.  ttyl ~Anne
