Thanks very much Barbara. Glad to see someone has beaten me to it.

I generally have at least one document or the splash page active, and I don't set the option to look for updates, so OOo and LibO both come up quite quickly even the first time. You could always disable the Quickstarter in OOo (Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Memory uncheck the "Enable the systray QS" option, and enable it in LibO (via exactly the same route). Personally, I like the QS option and if that is set to load at boot up (or login) then the basic libraries are already pre-loaded and ready to open quickly. And yes, I can confirm Barbara's observation that OOo and LibO do coexist peacefully. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
