I have run into one situation where I might require both suites. If preparing an Impress presentation, Impress in LibreOffice is more flexible with regard to using multimedia (in my case, video) inserts. With OpenOffice I have for a long time (and many configurations of the underlying O.S., in my case Xubuntu) not been able to take video clips directly - I have had to resort to linking to the O.S. video player, but this renders the presentation rather clunky. Other than that, when I install a fresh linux (usually Xubuntu) I use sudo apt purge libreoffice* and then install OpenOffice.

Re: Install Notes
Hi Kenneth, I usually remove LO with Synaptic before installing OpenOffice. Never had a problem ;-) This page explains how to do it via command line: https://websiteforstudents.com/replace-libreoffice-openoffice-ubuntu-17-04-17-10/ Kind regards Matthias Am 22.10.2017 um 23:56 schrieb Kenneth Mcfarland: > In further thought there is also the possibility of using sudo dpkg > --force-all -i *.deb which could possibly leave LibreOffice working, > although in my personal opinion no situation would arise where I would need > both suites. > > Hopefully someone else has some input on this as my intent is just to ease > installation for anyone doing what I did twenty minutes ago. > > On Sun, Oct 22, 2017 at 2:43 PM, Kenneth Mcfarland < > kennethpaulmcfarl...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Hello OpenOffice Team >> >> Nice work!

Re: Install Notes
In further thought there is also the possibility of using sudo dpkg --force-all -i *.deb which could possibly leave LibreOffice working, although in my personal opinion no situation would arise where I would need both suites. Hopefully someone else has some input on this as my intent is just to ease installation for anyone doing what I did twenty minutes ago.

Hello OpenOffice Team Nice work! I kicked LibreOffice to the curb today after seeing the twitter posting. It's great to be back and use Apache being a contributor to other projects. Anyways, there is one small thing that could make peoples lives easier. Here is my use case: I run Ubuntu 16.04 which comes with Libre, a lot of other people who are thrifty or love linux could be in my situation. The install notes that the path /usr/bin/soffice needs to be removed but this is *not* enough. Even after removing it, there will be errors during installation the generic "error /usr/bin/soffice libreoffice blah blah error". One needs to sudo apt-get -f remove libreoffice-common or the install will fail. I know, I just finished. Here is the ubuntu board I found during my search. First reply. https://askubuntu.com/questions/382041/dpkg-error-processing-openoffice4-0-debian-menus-4-0-9714-all-deb It would simply be nice if the en_US installation directory contained a file called INSTALL that concisely pointed this out as I did read the readmes both of them. The HTML version does a lot better job pointing this out, but is still insufficient as described above. I would be happy to do the work of correcting this if nobody else can. Sincerely, Kenneth McFarland
