I remind the thread readers that I raised this function in the context specifically of Windows _needing_ a 32 bit Java, no matter what the bitness of the Windows is. I have not run into any other instances of OpenOffice/Operating Systems with differing bitness - these may exist, but are rare in my opinion and Forum experience. So I urge a message such as "A Java Runtime (JRE) is needed for some operations using OpenOffice. If using 64 bit version of Windows, a 32 bit Java must be installed to work with OpenOffice. See >> <helpful URL>." I read through the text at the target URL: my thoughts are that it is over-complex and (specifically) didn't mention the problem of the bit-matching. Remember that our major User-base is of Windows Users, many of whom are using older machines running XP(32), Win 7(32). I may re-read the text at that URL later, but can't guarantee it - my central heating has died and I have to go investigate - I fear it is serious! > > -----Original Message----- > >From: Marcus [mailto:marcus.m...@wtnet.de] > Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2014 14:49 > To: dev@openoffice.apache.org > Subject: Re: Java 32 > > Am 12/10/2014 11:08 PM, schrieb Kay Schenk: > > On 12/10/2014 08:52 AM, Dennis E.
