To Mr. Herron, OOo keeps all your users configurations in a folder ~/.openoffice.org, although if you have OOo 2.x it will be .openoffice.org2. Your first step is to find this file and make a backup copy of it. Note that "~/" means your home folder (just in case you didn't know that). You can test this by renaming your current /.openoffice.org(x) file and restarting OOo. When OOo is launched it looks for an /.openoffice.org (x) file. If it does not find one it creates a new one with the default settings. If you do an upgrade OOo will preserve all settings and configurations in your .openoffice.org folder. If you do a new install it will not. Thus, if you do a dist-upgrade from Feisty to Hardy it will install the newer version of OOo and preserve all your settings. If you do a new, fresh install of Hardy you will not get your old settings. The new install of Hardy will not know about your OOo settings when it installs the new version of OOo. If you have already installed a new, fresh install of Hardy and now want to migrate your settings from the old version of OOo to the new version of OOo, I don't know if that is possible. You could try copying over your old ~/.openoffice.org(x) file and see what happens. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
