Yes. But I *highly* recommend that you install AOOo 4.x in a parallel folder instead of installing it via the standard 'dpkg -i *.deb' command. I've found that AOOo 4.x takes over *all* mime associations for opendoc's. It's not too much of a problem re-associating the documents via Nautilus or Nemo, but it totally screws up other applications like Firefox & SeaMonkey. I've even tried leaving out openoffice-gnome-integration_4.0.1-5_amd64.deb, but it still screws up my mime associations. Note: earlier versions of OOo/AOOo didn't do this, but AOOo seems to have bundled Installing a parallel version is pretty simple, just follow the instructions here: <https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Run_OOo_versions_parallel> <https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Run_OOo_versions_parallel#DEB_packages_2> Then create a panel launcher pointing to the folder where you do the install, example: /home/<user>/AOOo/AOOoOpt/opt/openoffice4/program/soffice You can of course move the AOOo folder to /opt to allow other users to use it if you wish. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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
