I apologize and I stand corrected, the latest is 2.1. The webpage you directed me to and that the website directs me to for "System Requirements" is titled "System Requirements for OpenOffice.org 2.0". As a matter of fact all the links on the left of the download webpage under the "Documentation" heading refer to 2.0 not 2.1. The button used to select the download for 2.1 for "Windows" does not list W98. I've yet to find any webpage that specifically mentions W98 as being compatible with 2.1. This is why I was skeptical as to support for W98.
But I suppose I can take your word for it. It's just not listed in any of the spec's. -----Original Message----- From: Paul [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2007 1:26 PM To: Fajardo, Angelo; [email protected] Subject: Re: [users] version 2.0.x download > The "latest" is 2.2.x which, according to the openoffice website, does not > list W98 as a compatible OS. I don't know what website you are looking at, but www.openoffice.org (the official website) clearly states that 2.1 is the latest stable version : "OpenOffice.org 2.1 is recommended for all users, as it represents a significant improvement over all previous versions" There are of course development builds which are numbered 2.2 and can be found here, however these are not recommended for most users : http://download.openoffice.org/680/ > And I already know that 2.0.x is compatible with 98.

I think the page (http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sys_reqs_20.html) hasn't been updated with the release of 2.1 ... As other posters have advised you, 2.1 (the latest version) should run fine on win98, dependant on the caveats noted by other posters. /paul ps, please don't mail me directly... use the list. > -- > Don't bother trying to view high definition media using Vista : > http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/vista_cost.html > > ----- > Try Torpark; a small portable, open-source, built on Firefox browser > that enables anonymous browsing.
