When I realized that there was an update for OpenOffice 2.1, I went

This is not the end of the world, but as I am working with dial-up,
it is a major chore.
I am a novice, so it would not surprise me to be told I was missing
an obvious button; nor would I be surprised to be told that the
changes between 2.1 and 2.2.1 are more than a mere patch, and that it
is necessary to start over.
If it is necessary to start over, is it simplest to erase my first
OpenOffice first, or can the new group of files simply overlay the
originals? I am particularly wondering how to avoid needing to
download dictionaries again and again—a hypothetical question at this
point, I have none on board.
As I said, I am a novice, so any help will be welcome, but if I would
more usefully be on another site, tell me.
Thankyou

Hi Brant
Unfortunately there is no way to update OOo except by replacing the
whole suite. I think the debugging required for incremental patches on
the different platforms makes this the most reliable for the
developer/QA resources available.
Which is also better for the user, since it limits the number of bugs
that would be added in development of incremental patches.)
