Tom, I will ignore the hostile tone in your reply and the unsupported
assertions (rare, etc.) and simply note that the link you gave applies to
installing different versions of LibreOffice on the same computer, not to
having both OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice installed.
Do you have any useful

With your latest insulting missive you have simply underscored what I

Hi Roxy, Jay--
Thank you for your replies but please keep on topic.

associations.
It would be nice to have the option of keeping OOo, for the odd case when
