Dear Sir/Madam:
I use OpenOffice, and re-installed the progressive versions as updates.
What I found was an install bug.
The bug is that the installer does not properly remove the previous
settings as in the right click menu and the "open with..." list. Both
ended up showing several "OpenOffice 2" selections and these were caused
because the previous version remained. This says that to "open with..."
the list contained "OpenOffice 2.0", and "OpenOffice 2.1", then "2.2"
etc. This just pads the list and it cannot be removed except manually
through the registry.
Also, the right click list held the list of "swriter.exe" and
"OpenOffice 2.2", both leading to the same document editor. That too had
to be removed manually.
I suggest that with the future uninstallers, that it removes these kinds
of settings before it reinstalls the new version when installing as an
update.
Thanks

I can't confirm that. I've tested and installed OOo for many years now
and a short review shows me that there is only an OpenOffice 2.3 entry
an in case for a spreadsheet 'scalc' (which is pretty meaning string but
we have an issue for changing this) by now. If you're right I must have
several entriel for OOo 2.0.2 up to 2.3.
Regards,
Olaf
