I recently downloaded 2.0 Because I was having trouble with others not
being able to open my attachments, I visited your website and discovered
I have to figure out a new way to save my files. In the mean time, I
noticed the most current version is 2.0.2
Do I need to upgrade from 2.0 to 2.0.2? If so, do I need to unistall
2.0, or will the 2.0.2 downloading process take care of that?
You must send your attachments in formats that those who receive them
can read. Currently there are not a great number of applications who
support the Oasis OpenDocument format that OpenOffice.org uses.
If you intend you documents to be read only, then your best choice is
probably to go to File -> Export as PDF..., as PDF files are viewable by
almost all computer users through Adobe Acrobat Reader or some other PDF
viewer. If you want people to be able to edit your documents, then you
should use file "Save As..." to translate them into a format that they
can use. For example, if you are sending an OpenOffice.org Writer
document to someone who has Microsoft Word installed, saving it to an MS
Word format would be a good choice. When saving or reading to and from
non-native formats, sometimes information and layout is not entirely
converted. But most documents convert fine.
You certainly do not *need* to upgrade to version 2.0.2. However, as
this is the most recent stable version, you may wish to do so for that
reason.
On installation, by default, version 2.0.2 will overwrite version 2.0,
but will retain your current 2.0 settings.
