Hello Alex,

I am one or two steps ahead of you, but I don’t think I gave any details in my last message of what I did to install AOO this time around. So I will do so now.

This is for Windows 7 Home Premium SP 1 64 bit. I have hidden files and folders un-hidden.

I copied my installation of OpenOffice 3.3 from Program Files (x86) to a temporary folder I keep for just such an occasion. I copied the OpenOffice.org folder that is in the C:/Users/<user profile>/AppData/Roaming/ to my temp folder.
I renamed the original folder in Roaming to "XOpenOffice.org".

I copied the LibreOffice folder that was in Program Files (x86) into the temp folder along with its counterpart in Roaming. I then renamed the LibreOffice folder that was in Roaming to OpenOffice.org.

I installed Apache OpenOffice 3.4 taking the option to install into my LibreOffice folder. Everything installed smoothly. The installation gutted the old OpenOffice folder when it installed over LibreOffice.

I started up AOO and it worked fine except for the arrow keys not working. I have a program that renames files and everything in the registry etc. So the folder named LibreOffice was changed to OpenOffice. Everything still works the same.

I deleted the XOpenOffice.org folder.

I re-installed LibreOffice 3.5 and copied my old LO folder from the temp folder over it. I then replaced the copy of LibreOffice back into Roaming. This returned my old settings, templates, etc.

LibreOffice is working as it was and I have AOO installed with all of the same settings, templates, etc of my old installation of LO (with minor exceptions to the differences between the programs).

Hi Rod,


Now I would like to import or merge the LibreOffice settings etc. into
OpenOffice and make everything one again.


Make a backup of your OpenOffice.org directory first.

Then just try copying the contents of your LibreOffice user
configuration directory (including all subdirectories) over to your
OpenOffice.org directory. The file structures are pretty similar from
what I can see, at least on the Mac.
