I see. Sounds very good. So you'd recommend I go ahead and download the
2.3 rather than the 2.2.1. I suppose if it is a mature version of 2.3,
and you have said it is, then it would represent an improvement over
2.2.1. So makes the most sense, then, that I should get the latest one.
I went to the 2.3 download page. I suppose this [Linux (deb) 135 MB] is
the version which I would want for Ubuntu Feisty 7.04 right? And what
about these:
Download Source Archives from here:
core source package 138 MB
system source package 35 MB
binfilter source package 6.2 MB
l10n source package 75 MB
sdk source package 23 MB
Do I download all those as well?
So is it the case then that what I need to do is download the above
mentioned 2.3 Linux (deb), and also download the above-mentioned source
archives, and then
1. First log on as root or from the GUI, open a root terminal.
2. Type:
dpkg -i -–force-overwrite openoffice.org*.deb \
desktop-integration/openoffice.org-debian-menus*.deb
If you are familiar with Linux, could you just remind me how I log on as
root?
And lastly, do you think 2.3 may solve the problem I am currently having
in which the Forms Wizard will not complete its task of creating a form?
Thanks,
Swarup
