Thank you for the heads up on Libre, I was looking at Google docs. if the document has more than 65535 styles it will crash on document close and may crash at some style or find/replace operations. Open Offices word processor deletes the embedded literature-citation codes in Microsoft Word documents. I have been using OO for over 10 years so sad that I cant get this sorted. The only thing that keeps me on Word is Style templates and autogen of tables. I also was able to use all my files until this week. I did a search on update history and it was not there. Start Windows in Safe Mode and see if OpenOffice runs stable while Windows is in that mode. The next step is to test for interference from another program or driver on the computer. Hi Russel The laptop is less than a month old and it does not have the update that is listed as the fault. Re: OpenOffice keeps crashing The first step is to ensure Windows 10 is fully updated, then restart the computer.

LibreOffice does have some features that OpenOffice doesn't, such as the ability to save to later (*.?x) formats and is available in both 32 and 64 bit versions. It is completely compatible with OpenOffice, thus your current files can be used in LibreOffice without any changes. Yesterday when I notices some where not visible and wanted to re-add them, LO crashed. If your version is already up-to-date or if you continue having problems with OpenOffice or if you want to try an alternative, I'd like to suggest LibreOffice Is your copy of Windows 10 completely up to date? If not, please update it so that all updates have been successfully installed. There was a Windows 10 update that caused problems with OpenOffice, but a later update, to my understanding, has fixed that problem. I have been working on this document for a while with no problems, but today it started crashing more or less every time I try to add a reference. After doing a fairly exhaustive search, it appears that the problem you are having (crashing using the Find/Search bar) is limited to those running Windows 10. Zotero and Open Office Writer keeps crashing whenever I am trying to add a new reference into my phd dissertation with multiple existing Zotero references.
