I currently have Open Office 3.0 on my computer. Do I need to first remove it from my computer and then download Apache Open Office, or do I leave my the 3.0 version on my computer and just download Apache?
upgrading may be preferred over deleting and clean installation if you have a highly customised product, e.g. with fine-tuned shortcuts, autocorrect lists, spellcheck dictionaries, bibliography databases etc. however, 3.0 is a rather old, oracle's rather than apache's, version. for this reason, such a major upgrade can cause issues, so you should weigh pros and contras. it may be of use to make a backup of your user profile (see release notes for 3.4.1, section 'known issues', at http://www.openoffice.org/development/releases/3.4.1.html for more details; notes for 4.0.0 and 4.0.1 may also be of use, they can be found at http://www.openoffice.org/development/releases/index.html). clean installation may be a good choice if you have used only standard settings with the previous version - in this case you have nothing to lose. ------------------------------------------- List Conduct Guidelines: http://openoffice.apache.org/list-conduct.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
