John,
It is my understanding that you can use either Office applications, and you can have either installed, or both. But if you have both installed you would need to define in Openmeetings which Office you wanted to use via the "office.path" setting in Openmeetings. Sadly I have not found the conversion performed by either of these Office applications all that effective for Microsoft Office documents (issues with font sizes and positioning). Due to these issues our staff mostly save the Microsoft Office documents (e.g. PowerPoint) to PDFs and then upload the PDF. If the document converts correctly to PDF, then the document in PDF format is likely to display correctly when it is uploaded.

I did that no problem. But after the instlal I had a thought, if i install OpenOffice and use that for conversions, do i need libreoffice installed at all?
