[Solved] Can't see anything

Post by pooky2483 »

Since Apr 14 2011 I have had problems viewing what I am doing on screen, all I see are grey boxes and not what I am doing.

I have already tried a repair which didn't work, so I uninstalled it, cleaned my computer then reinstalled it. That didn't work either. I can only see what I have done when I do a print preview.
I am unable to see what I am doing even when I create a new one as this too is greyed out.
Anyone out there, PLEASE help.

Is this a file that you created or one you received form another source? Can you post it here? See http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/ ... =74&t=8289 for instructions.

Check Tools> Options> OpenOffice.org Writer> View and make sure that under the Display section that the Tables box is checked.

I agree with therabi. I can see the tables in your document. Follow his instructions to correct the problem.
