Hi All, An US editor gives feedback and tweaks wording as below, I am going to update installation instructions [1] with these words:
*Upgrading OpenOffice for Windows* If the current version is 3.x, you can remove it before you upgrade to version 4.x, or keep it and install 4.x as an additional version. 1. In the Installation Wizard, do one of the following: - To remove 3.x and install 4.x, select *Remove all older product versions*. The startup group item, desktop icon, and entry in the Add/Remove Programs list will all refer to 4.x. - To have both 3.x and 4.x on your computer, deselect *Remove all older product versions*. Each version will have its own startup group item, desktop icon, and entry in the Add/Remove Programs list. 2. If the current version is 4.x, but is older than the point version that you want to install (for example, you have 4.0.0 but want to install 4.0.1), the older version will be removed and the later one will be installed. The startup group item, desktop icon, and entry in the Add/Remove Programs list will all refer to the later version.
