Where did you acquire this misinformation. For years I have had both 32 & 64 bit JRE installed and never encountered any issues. > I therefore must remove one of the JREs from my machine.....

Provided you tell AOO to use the 32bit JRE and LO to use the 64bit JRE it will not be a problem for you. Hint: Tools->Options->OpenOffice->Java > How should I proceed if I go ahead with the 64-bit AOO installation? > Will I loose any 32-bit AOO files/templates? NO. > Are there any practical advantages included in AOO-64 over AOO-32? Not sure what you mean by this. > > Your suggestions will be appreciated. > > Thanks for reading this. Stay well and be safe. > > VinceB. Hope this helps.
