Thanks Juergen,
I was aware of that option but I managed to remove it without losing the
installed extensions. Here's a summary of how I did it.
After backing up the .openoffice/3/ folder I grabbed a copy of the
Barcode(1.3).oxt file and renamed it. I removed the old /Barcode.oxt folder
and create a new empty folder with the same name. I changed the name of the
updated extension to Barcode.zip and placed it in the new (empty)
Barcode.oxt folder. I unzipped the Barcode.zip file and then removed the
zip file (harmless but no longer needed). I reopened Openoffice and ....
tada!!! a perfectly working Barcode 1.3 extension.
I know it sounds complicate when you write down all the steps but it's
obvious once you realise that .oxt files are zip files and then Openoffice
(confusingly in my view) names the folder where they are kept
{Extension}.oxt or Barcode.oxt in the example under discussion. It's easier
in the doing than the telling.
Thanks again,
Jonathan
