well, sort of - I have been using OpenOffice for some time and now have version 3.0. I did not know that Apache has taken over OpenOffice, and I have a few questions:
Is Apache 4.1.0 the latest version of what I already have? If I install Apache 4.1.0, will it upgrade my present 3.0 or will it install a completely different system, so that I would have to delete the 3.0 myself? I normally save my documents as .doc - is that still possible with 4.1.0? Is a .doc usable (edit, etc) with 4.1.0? My OpenOffice documents are .odt - does 4.1.0 still use that extension? If not, is it still usable with 4.1.0? In addition, I have a problem with printing envelopes: they print barcodes across (up and down) the envelope face. I have worked with a printer technician, and we cannot find any way that the printer could be adding the barcodes. He suggested that I call OpenOffice; that is why I have discovered Apache OpenOffice! If the answers to all my above questions are positive, I will download the 4.1.0 and hope that the barcode problem will no longer be present. If the barcodes persist, I will go to Support, but before that happens, I need to know the answers to these questions. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Roberta Yule Owen
