OK, I followed everyone's tips and was able to replace the Fedora repository-installed LibreOffice 4.3 with 4.4 installed from the RPMs downloaded from the LibreOffice site!!
Sorry I've never tinkered with YUM configuration before, how to I modify it to ignore LibreOffice updates? Another strange thing is that when (and only when) I enable "Use OpenGL for all rendering" in options, (1) all vertical scroll bars become upside down (i.e. the bar moves up from the bottom when I scroll down), (2) all checks in checkboxes are upside down, and (3) when I resize a window the expanded area is all dark! Has this happened to anyone else?? Thanks for your replies! On 05/02/2015, Andrew Douglas Pitonyak [via Document Foundation Mail Archive] <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Side note...
