The following installation and setup guides are available here . It is not needed for OpenOffice.org to work correctly. However there will be some features which will not be available to you, for example with 1.1 you will not be able to use the XSLT functionality, JDBC, applets, form generators, accessibility, and java api's for 3rd party modules. Are you sure that you have the right version of java installed ? Please check the release notes for the version of OpenOffice you have installed. Did your copy of OpenOffice.org 1.1 come as part of a Linux distribution? Some Linux distros have removed Java support from their build of OpenOffice.org for licence reasons. You may need to replace the distro version with the full version of OpenOffice.org from the OpenOffice.org project. Simply start OpenOffice. You should see that there is now an entry for OpenOffice in you programs menu. After OpenOffice has started you should see an icon on the system tray ( it looks like flying seagulls on a blue and white background ). By using the right mouse button you can start the various different components quite quickly. This quick-launcher should be automatically started when you log in. Yes, but they must be installed in different directories, and it is recommended to only start one with the quick-launcher tool. When upgrading from version 1.0 to 1.1 your settings should be automatically maintained if you install 1.1 in the same directory as 1.0. Use the multiuser installation mechanism i.e. as administrator call the setup program with the “-net” parameter e.g. “./setup -net”. Then each user when they first run the application will be asked for some information. Only per user configuration files will be kept in a directory specific to each user. Yes, you can use a response file to do this. Yes, but it is slightly different between the components :
You can also change the settings by clicking the right mouse button on the ruler at the top of the page. If you press the "Edit File" button in the toolbar all of the edit features will be disabled. Clicking on this button will reactivate the edit functions again. If you press the "Edit File" button in the toolbar while a read-only file is open, you'll get an untitled copy of the file to work with. When you try to save the document you will be prompted for a file name. To dock the stylist, press Ctrl and double-click on a white or gray area of the window to dock. You can also hold the Ctrl button down while you drag the window. To undock you can also use the Ctrl button and double click on the gray area around the window to undock. There are several places to get help :
Ask the <users@openoffice.org> mailing list for help. To get a developer to look at your problem (or your request to add a new feature), then you must become a member of OpenOffice.org. Simply fill in a login name and your email address. Your email address is necessary so that you get informed when your bug reports and issues are changed. When you fill in the details and hit the button to “Register”, you will receive a confirmation email. After proceeding with the confirmation you will then be able to login in, and enter a bug report, by click on the link “File an Issue ”. When you install OpenOffice, it asks you whether you want to associate MS Office files with OpenOffice. In order to not associate these MS Office file types, you must uncheck the appropriate boxes before continuing. Many people do not read this dialog properly, and simply click on “OK". Once this association has been made, though, there are several ways to re-association the files with MSOffice. Go into your file types setting(it should be under either “Tools” or “Folder Options”) from one of the windows in “My Computer”. Then delete the association for .doc, .xls, and any other file types that you do not want associated with OpenOffice. When you next click on a file of that type (such as .doc or .xls), it will ask you what you want to use to open it. Click on word, excel, or whatever you want to use. You will also be given the option to select always use this application to open the file type. Please see the answer of the previous question. Several users have found problems when trying to install OpenOffice.org over NFS. One solution is to make sure that the "link_relative" option is set on the NFS export on the server. Without it, the links that the setup program creates are all absolute, which trips it up when it crosses file systems. It depends on which distribution of Linux you use, but /opt is probably the best place. The font trouble shooting guide should be able to help you. No, not yet. It is being worked on, but it will be at least next year before it is available. If you are a Mac developer then please help at http://porting.openoffice.org No. Since this version of the operating system is not supported anymore by Apple and it's APIs are very different from any other system it is not considered a good use of very limited resources to work on this. However volunteers are always welcome to help.
