OpenOffice crashes consistently.

Solved

Hello,

For some time now, when I have a table that spans two pages, the moment I hit Enter and the table moves to a single page, OpenOffice crashes. I was using version 4.1.1, so I updated to 4.1.7, but the problem persists. Does anyone have any idea how to solve this issue? Because since I have several tables in my document, it crashes now one out of three times when I hit Enter, which is really annoying!
I have Windows 10.

Thank you!

    Hello,

    You can run a test with LibreOffice.
    https://fr.libreoffice.org/download/telecharger-libreoffice/

    If there is no improvement, you will uninstall it.

    If you don't show us your Office file, we'll never know why your file crashes...
     1) Go to https://www.cjoint.com/ 
    2) Click on [Browse] to select your file (15 MB max)
    3) Scroll down to click on the blue button [Create Cjoint link]
    4) After a few seconds, the second page will display, with the link in bold; right-click on it and choose "Copy link"
    5) Return to your discussion on CCM, and in your message, paste it.

      Alright, here it is. I've simplified it as much as possible. So now the file opens and each time I hit enter between the title and the table (which will move to the second page), everything crashes!

    Everything works perfectly well for me.
    So it's not the file that's the issue, but your version of Writer.
    I suggest you forget about Open Office and use Libre Office instead (which is also available for free).
    If you have reasons to keep Open Office, uninstall it and download it again.
    Best regards.

      Just a little clarification: I don’t see any trace of a version 4.1.7 in the link https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenOffice.org#Versions_du_logiciel

        It's Apache OpenOffice: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice

    Hello,

    Open Office can be downloaded here: https://www.openoffice.org/fr/Telecharger/
    and version 4.1.7 is indeed the one offered.
    There's no need to look for complications.

    Now, from my point of view, it's better to use LibreOffice (more frequent updates).

      Indeed, with LibreOffice I don't have this problem... It's just a shame to have to switch when I was quite adept at OpenOffice...
      Thank you

        It's practically the same thing!

        LibreOffice was created when OpenOffice was acquired by Oracle. Originally, it's the same software.

    Hello
    I also have repeated crashes when using Open Office Calc and only Open Office Calc, everything else is fine
    I’m using
    Open Office 4.1.8
    Windows 10 Home version 20H2 19042.685 Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0

    When I launch "Reliability" I get:

    ID of the application related to the failing package:

    The problem may come from an interaction between Open Office and the HP analytics software integrated into Windows (which does not appear in the list of installed applications)

    Does anyone have information on this?
