Nothing was skipped as far as I could see when installing. However, I think I typed ”sudo dpkg -i *.deb”, not only ”dpkg -i *.deb”. > > Well, with Linux I will wait for a while hoping for 3.2 to come to one of my > repositories. > For Windows, I install it in a _beta folder instead of the default Programs > Folder. > This way I can try 3.2.x without messing with 3.1.1.

I noticed that they added some features that I really need, like the UNICODE() and UNICHAR() cell functions. I also noticed that they added a feature that I asked for back in the OpenOffice.org 1.0 era…! Click Format → Conditional formatting…. Note the new button in the dialogue. I asked for it almost ten years ago (unfortunately I can't find it in issuezilla, though). It's the button that lets you create a new style while the Conditional formatting dialogue is open. It's a very small feature, but I like it. > > I will try again, when 3.2 non-RC is out, the dpkg -i *.deb command on both > of my > Ubuntu systems.
