Hi again :) Sorry for the double posting! LibreOffice is the free version of OpenOffice. OpenOffice may or may not remain free or split into 2 parts so that there is a trial version and a 'full' version that might cost.
Oracle have started a process of giving OpenOffice to the Apache Foundation. If Apache do run OpenOffice then it will probably continue to be free and will probably develop faster than it did under Sun or Oracle. It's still very unclear what is happening with it or where it will be in 2 years time. By contrast LibreOffice is firmly established.

To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, 20 September, 2011, 13:39 I'm behind on the issue of the demise of Open Office and the emergence of Libreoffice. Will the installation of Libreoffice recognize all my OpenOfffice files. Will utalizing Libreoffice end up with both OpenOffice and Libreoffice being installed on my computer. I don't want both systems so should I uninstall or remove OpenOffice? What will happen to the OpenOffice custom templates I how have? Also the dictionary I have added many words too? Will anyone continue to support the free version of OpenOffice? -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
