I've not tried it on WinXP, but that's good to know as I'll eventually get around to dual booting into the WinXP machine and will give it a try. > > For further information (for Linux too, but I am no judge of it ...) e.g. -> > <http://documentation.openoffice.org/setup_guide2/2.x/en/SETUP_GUIDE_A4.pdf> > (Chapter "Installing multiple instances of OpenOffice.org with the same > version number"). Yes, I know that I can do that. I just wasn't expecting this latest dev to overwrite 2.2.1. The previous versions did not. I reckon that this means that M3 is pretty close to release, so I'll run it on this machine and keep 2.2.1 on the one next to me to compare that way. I'm too lazy to go to the trouble of doing the 'multiple instances' just now :-) Gary --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
