I spent an hour installing, uninstalling and updating OOo and my latest LibO build in a machine with MS Office and it works well for me, I mean there are both LibO and OOo in the "Open With" menu in a MS Office document. And you can update and uninstall them and everything works as expected. I don't know why is not working for you :( -- Jesús Corrius <je...@softcatala.org> Document Foundation founding member Skype: jcorrius | Twitter: @jcorrius _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
