Excel has a miserable UI, but at least it says up for longer than 10 seconds. Sigh!! As much as it irritates me, I'm having to switch over to Excel for several things I used to do with Calc. Yesterday when I notices some where not visible and wanted to re-add them, LO crashed. I suspect this behavior is limited to a few (recent) versions of OO, and very possibly only Calc. Calc window closes and OO puts up a message that recovery will occur - from now on the sequence will repeat.When the Calc window comes up, don't touch it - just wait about 10 seconds.OO puts up a message that recovery will occur - allow it.Double click on the saved 'CrashTest.ods' in Explorer.This file might have some type of corruption which is causing Word to crash. The file is called Normal.dotm and it can be found in C:Users user name AppDataRoamingMicrosoftTemplates. From Task Manager kill Open Office (soffice.exe/bin - one of each) Try deleting the template that Word uses when creating a blank document.

(The system is Vista SP2, running OO 3.4.1)

If I save the 'recovered' file then OO Calc will open it, but the problem returns after saving again. Setup the email account and check if the problem is solved now. Now type a name under the Profile Name option and click on OK. In the new mail window, click on the Add button. If I open the same file using Excel it complains of errors in the file, and 'recovers' them, but the 'error report' it generates contains no details. For this, follow the below mentioned steps: Go to the Control Panel and click on the Mail option. I then attempted to 'reset' my profile (ie, rename the OO user directory in App Data), but OO crashed during the first startup after that, then resumed the original behavior. I reinstalled OO once and the problem went away for awhile, but it came back. If I kept clicking 'OK' it would apparently do this all day. If I let it 'recover' it will do so and bring the spreadsheet up again, only to repeat the crash scenario again. It is Excel 2016 on a Windows 10 Pro computer. It keeps crashing when opening excel files.

I open a simple Calc spreadsheet, it comes up normally, but then after anywhere from 5 seconds to several minutes (without even touching the Calc window) OO crashes, then comes up through recovery. One of our staff members has a strange issue with excel. After completely reinstalling my laptop due to apparent registry corruption, I've encountered a problem with Open Office:
