Just below that text is an area that will show all 32 bit JRE's that are installed on your computer. If you have a 32 bit JRE installed it will show in that area and should have a filled radio button before the vendor and version information. If that area is blank there is no 32 bit JRE installed.
For a visual representation of what you should see if a proper JRE is installed and functioning for AOO see the following link to the 4.x User Guide in development. https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/UserGuide/Options/AOO#Making_Java_work_on_Apache_OpenOffice Regards Keith PS Please reply only to the list and not to my personal e-mail address. > > On 10 May 2017 at 13:59, Keith N.
