At the moment I cannot get to the OOo home page. When I go to http://www.openoffice.org I get directly to a download page instead of the home page of OOo. And the download page lists a Linux version, but does not say if it is the 64-bit or 32-bit version. I think I should wait until things settle down. > If you use Windows you can refer to this post: > http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=882 > > In GNU/Linux the settings are (by default) in your home directory under > .openoffice.org2/user. > > In OOo version 3 the settings are stored in /openoffice.org/3/user/. I am aware of the fact that for my currrent 2.4.1 on Hardy x86_64 the configurations are in /.openoffice.org2. If version 3.0 will create a new folder for configurations I'll have to start all over again. Believe me, that is hours and hours of work. That is, unless OOo 3 does indeed offer me the option to port my configuration from 2.4.1. Actually, an even better option for me would be to install 3.0, porting configurations from 2.4.1 but leave 2.4.1 untouched. Actually, looking at the new features, I see nothing that is really useful for me. If 3.0/Linux could recognize OpenType fonts I would be motivated to install it, but as OOo has done for the past eight years, this has been ignored once more. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
