I wrote a user defined function in the macro editor, but OpenOffice Calc crashes when I try to use it.
It terminates with the message:
An unrecoverable error has occured.
All modified files have been saved and can probably be recovered at program restart.

The function works in other OpenOffice.org versions, but not in Puppy.

Okay, install the openoffice_MISSING package, see if that makes any difference.

I have installed the openoffice_MISSING package but it did not make a difference.

Here is the user defined function:
------------------------------------
Function Vol(L1, L2, L3)
Dim iVol as Long

iVol = L1 + L2 + L3
Vol = iVol
End Function
------------------------------------
Maybe someone can reproduce the crash.

Go to this site and download it
http://download.openoffice.org/1.1.4/contribute.html?continue=http%3A//mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/openoffice/stable/1.1.4/OOo_1.1.4_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz
Then when you have downloaded it completely, I will personally assist you in in installing
OpenOffice!!!

Hi klhrevolutionist,

I am running Chubby Puppy on a 256 MB Compact Flash card.
Is it possible to reinstall Open Office in Chubby Puppy or replace it on a live CD?

[klhrevolutionist]

First, are you running from cd or hd?
if you are running from cd, I cannot help I lack experience.
If you are running fro hd, simply uninstall openoffice
and download one I mentioned from post above.
Then we can setup a time in the chatroom, so as not to clutter the forum!!!

I am running Puppy from a Compact Flash card. I don't thing Open Office can be uninstalled.
But even if I run Open Office in Chubby Puppy from a live CD, and start the function, it crashes.

I think you should check OO documentations for specific Java requirements. The reason I say this is because I read somewhere that OO works fine without Java, but some features won't work.
