I had several installations of OpenOffice running side-by-side (not that I wanted it that way -- it just kinda happened [1]); plus various historical directories where user settings are stored (dating back to 3 computers ago and OpenOffice 1.1. Today I cleaned up and wrote a blog post about it. The article describes how I cleaned it up and moved from OpenOffice 3.0.0 provided by the http://openoffice.org website to the packaged version provided by the Ubuntu PPA. http://freephile.com/cms/content/openoffice-300-openoffice-301-ubuntu If you don't have OpenOffice 3 yet and want to add it to your Ubuntu system, then see this one minute video by LinuxJournal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm0EBGnIE5s [1] Part of the problem was that when Ubuntu 8.10 was released, OpenOffice 3 was not included. So, most people who wanted it (like me) ended up downloading binaries (or source) from the openoffice.org website. -- Greg Rundlett Web Developer - Initiative in Innovative Computing http://iic.harvard.edu camb 617-384-5872 nbpt 978-225-8302 m. 978-764-4424 -skype/aim/irc/twitter freephile http://profiles.aim.com/freephile
