Hello, I can no longer open OPEN Office 4.1.1 with Windows 8.1. I have tried everything, reinstalling, repairing with the installer, but nothing works. I get an alert window informing me that my OP OF program is open and that I need to close it, but nothing happens.
Has anyone experienced this kind of problem to help me? Thank you for your assistance.

    Hello Thierry85390,

    have you checked the task manager (CTRL ALT DEL) to see if Open Office was in the active processes?
    There may be an add-on that uses it or launches it in the background.
    If it is present in the task manager, select it and click on "End Task". Then see if you can open it normally.

      Thank you for the discovery of (CTRL ALT DEL), C-CLAIR! It allowed me to disable programs that are not useful to me at startup, on one hand.

      On the other hand, in Open Office Calc, I can't insert rows in multiple consecutive entries... a message tells me "Filled cells cannot be moved beyond the page"? Yet I am neither at the beginning nor at the end of the page?

      If you have a solution to propose for inserting accounting entries, I'd be interested.

      I still have the feeling that these "free" software programs are designed to help us not to be efficient with them but to inevitably steer us, through difficulties, towards paid software. Am I being unreasonable? :-)

      Thank you in advance for your replies,

      Best regards,
      Cézal.

    Hello
    A cell in the last row may be filled or formatted
    Press Ctrl + End to go to the last row and delete the last row.

    Otherwise, install LibreOffice instead; it's exactly the same but with additional features and more regular updates:

    LibreOffice is the best alternative to Microsoft Office. It's not for nothing that LibreOffice is included by default in almost all Linux distributions.
