OpenWord.org crashes on forms: Any ideas?
622510
A more recent version of OpenOffice might work better. Not sure whether ASUS's repositories offer a more up to date version, though. While OO does a good job dealing with word and powerpoint files in general, compatibility won't be 100%. The word and powerpoint formats are proprietary and closed, OO's ability to read/write those formats is based on guess and reverse engineering. That said, you could try the following workaround: upload the document to docs.google.com (apply for a google account if you don't have one yet) and work the forms online. You can download them back to your computer when finished. Another alternative is to use a "windows emulator" such as Crossover to run MS office under Linux.

You can use Word equivalent off google-play, but I am not sure whether they would be literal equivalents of MS Office.

You may be able to fix, using your 'settings', under language/input where you define how the 'device' expects to get information. There are basic 'keyboard' options, and more advanced settings for how much you want the device to make [what it considers] corrections' to your input 'errors'. Of course, you know that you put in what you 'wanted to input', but based on those 'translation/dictionary' settings, it can take over and [over-rule/over-write] your input. Best of luck.

I agree with Stormy Haupt. And I have been using WordPerfect since before it was called WordPerfect and I can't recall what that was. - K Haskell

Jim, Annoying for sure. However, Pages does readily read/convert Word documents. So simply save your scan as a .doc or .docx and ask Pages to open the Existing Document. Once open you can edit as needed and save it as a Pages document if you want. Hope this is helpful. T

I have had no issues just using Word and internet. It's ran smoothly. It's just hard to get use to the new operating system.

Hmm, I was sure that I'd tried them all, but I tried the top secure one again (WPA, I think) and this time it went through! I suspect I miss-typed one of the letters the first time.

Its opened word docs for me such as resumes from MS word, but I never used it 4 anything else. And I never revised a wors doc on it, but I'm sure it can.

Te default only works when it is opened to set it to another word. If its been set, you need to remember or obtain the new word. The original word was "shed" but it sounds like it was already changed... here's the manual: http://wordlock.com/_pdf/Wordlock-Bikelock-Instructions.pdfYou may be able to contact the company direct...not sure what results that will have though. Good Luck!

http://gnomad2.sourceforge.net/ I wrote a quick patch for it that improves stiletto support. Let me know if you need it if you can't seem to get it to work with its original code. You can also run the windows software under wine; you just need to change a few things in order to do so. Email me if you need help :)

I have trouble with it crashing the browser from time to time. I think it was a windows 8.1 issue thou

openoffice.org -- it's not Microsoft word, it's a very similar program though -- except free.

Hi,I haven't had any issues with that so far. Keyboard seems responsive. I typed 2/3 of an article and had no problems.

I don't think you can use it to macro a text string (like "hello there"). However, you can use EventGhost or AutoHotKey to accept a non-printable key, such as F13, and then expand that to a text macro.If you just want to use it to log in to Windows, I'd suggest setting up a login PIN on Windows 8.

Same issue here...constant write protection issues. Even after removing all read write protection on both sides it still has issues. Format no help either. Weird.

I am returning my copy. It works with Windows 7 but no single project can be more than 20mg. It has great features but crashes and you cannot retrieve what you have created. It is a known defect, they told me they are working on it! They told me to try Print Shop 23.

I kept having an error and nothing fixed it so I had to buy a new one. You can try resetting it to see if that will help.
