Thanks for your suggestion, Tom, but alas, it doesn't work, at least not on my machine, as the 4.0.3.3 version of Writer is not presented as an alternative, even if I click on «Search for other alternatives». I think it has to do with the 4.0.3.3 folders being stored under /opt, while the 4.0.2.2 are stored under /lib, as per the above, and I could probably resolve the problem by moving the 4.0.3.3 package to the latter directory, but frankly, I'm too chicken to try.... ;-) Henri -- To unsubscribe 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
