 Hello,

 This is also easy, but I need to know which operating system you are
 using unless you are comfortable with using your OS in which case...

 The trick to have different GUIs, settings, templates, autocorrect
 tables and so on is to launch the program using a different set of
 user parameters. In other words you have to create new users. The
 parameter is userinstallation.
 The command to give to launch the program is therefore
 soffice -UserInstallation=[path to the user settings]

 There is no limitation to the number of users you can have and you can
 even run two versions of openoffice with different settings
 simultaneously (or three or four if you have a monster computer).


 Example. On my GNU/Linux machine I run three versions of OpenOffice.org2.4:
 version 1: the primary version with all my the customizations
 version 2: the version with Italian GUI which I use for Localization
 version 3: the "default" version with no customization at all which I
 use for writing documentation.

 The settings (user) for Version 2 for example are in
 /home/michele/ooo-ita/ so to start this version I have to type:
 bash /opt/openoffice.org2.3/program/soffice
 -userinstallation=/home/michele/ooo-ita/ -swriter

 There is a wiki page that explains all this stuff, but I cannot locate
 it at present.

 Cheers,

 Michele
