Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: This is how I got LibreO installed and working
Hi :) I think a lot of users are going to have problems if they try that. Mostly they have QuickStarter starting up automatically and also have problems when they try to open different documents in different versions of OpenOffice/LibreOffice. Advanced users with long years worth of experience of OOo/Lo might be able to handle it but i think it's bad to give advice that will trip-up most users on this list. This link might help most people http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel it covers most of the things advanced users, such as Andreas, wont think of mentioning when they post comments such as his previous.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: This is how I got LibreO installed and working
I do not know if the Windows versions of LO still hang up till you install a Java Runtime, but it use to. I just automatically install the runtime now for a new system. It may have changed, but I do not know if it has. The developers are working hard to remove the need for Java with LO. They are converting Java coding to Python. BUT, many of the popular extension may be written in Java, so there will still be a need to use it, even though the core package does not need it to run.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: This is how I got LibreO installed and working
Andreas, thanks for the completing info - now I/we know better. Some years ago I was an Ubuntu-user but when I happened to buy a laptop which components didn't cooperate with Linux so I had to skip it. Now I have planned to install Ubuntu again so your info can be useful. Thank you also for your good advice concerning subforms (thread Subforms in LibreO). I looked at it preliminary and seems like I got the idea; I shall work on it at the weekend.
