LO is a fork of OOo and maintaining compatibility is one of the project goals. People have reported problems with having both installed so the recommendation for most users is uninstall OOo and install LO. Make sure you save all your templates, and dictionary, and extensions. LO is able to use all your templates and all the OOo extensions I have tried work in LO. OOo is still free and will remain free as one of the Apache foundation's projects. Please advise your OS so we can better advise you on the proper steps to "install" your templates and dictionary. -- Jay Lozier jsloz...@gmail.com -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org 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
