Re: [libreoffice-users] How to use the command /msoreg=1 ?
Hi :) I think you don't need the / at the start of a command like that. Try msoreg=1 However, i have no idea what that command does or what it is supposed to do so please double check what the command is supposed to do and don't just blindly accept some random unofficial guide, blog or forum post, especially about Windows. Even googling for the command might give some insight into what it really does. It would help if you could give us the link to the guide you are following. We only really deal with LibreOffice here but some kind person might be willing to try to help.

Re: [libreoffice-users] How to use the command /msoreg=1 ?
Hi :) Ahah, i have just found these links http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/system-requirements/ I'm guessing that's the guide you used? It's definitely official and definitely for LibreOffice but it doesn't give a lot of detail. Jonny, it is to register all the various office formats that would 'normally' be opened by MS Office to be opened by LibreOffice instead. Normally when people install LibreOffice the final screen (the one with the Finish button rather than Next or Forwards) has a tick-box to make LibreOffice the default Office Suite. Generally i avoid that at first to allow people to continue using MS Office by default and just get used to LibreOffice at their own pace. Sobriquet an easier way to achieve the same result might be to try reinstalling LibreOffice but choose the Repair option instead of the full re-install. Hopefully the last screen will show those tick-boxes again. These links might provide more help with the route you are taking http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/installation/windows/ and other official documentation is here http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/ http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74t=12918 It's an old guide and for OpenOffice.org but most things like that still work for LibreOffice because both Suites are very similar and we work together quite a bit sometimes. The LibreOffice code is smaller, cleaner and faster and has quite a lot of extra functionality and it's developing faster but still most of the basics are the same for both. Also although there is not a special section for Win7 the Vista and Xp guidance might help. This un-offical blog might help understand (i haven't read it yet so i don't know how good it is) http://minimumsystemrequirements.net/libreoffice.html If you do have to get java try to get their _20, _21 or _22 version, preferably the _21. The newer _24 _26 re great for web-browsers but really slow LibreOffice down quite badly. Hopefully you don't need java for Writer, Calc or anything except perhaps Base so you can leave Java until later. Somewhat insanely this guide might help! http://wikis.sun.com/display/StarOffice/StarOffice+9+Readme+for+Windows LibreOffice was developed from OpenOffice and we keep fairly close ties with them now that they are run by Apache. OpenOffice developed from StarOffice but that was about a decade ago. There are not many (a few but not many) that worked in StarOffice. The crazy thing is that Oracle were fairly bad at supporting or doing anything for OpenOffice during their brief ownership of it. They just seemed to try to kill it (imo). However, that link might be helpful??!! This guide was written a year or so before Oracle took ownership of OpenOffice. http://specs.openoffice.org/installation/filetyperegistration/foreign_file_type_registration.odt Sun were good at building up the community and keeping the product stable. They owned it for about a decade and were the ones that gave it the name OpenOffice.org rather than keeping it as StarOffice. The guide might try to download the Odt document onto your machine. I don't normally like links that do that. Many apols for that. It's very dry stuff and difficult to read. It's not really aimed at normal users so it might not be helpful. Hmm, this guide also looks like it might try to download itself, it's also very dry and also unlikely to really give quick easy answers. http://www.scribd.com/doc/53230646/readme-en-US Perhaps good for the detail tho, maybe.

Re: [libreoffice-users] How to use the command /msoreg=1 ?
Hi :) Lol, yup. I think we both found the same thing at the same time! I am not sure about missing the / now. All the guides i have seen do include it. So maybe the issue is about which folder you are in when you run the command. I might test it out from work later. If i can get onto a suitable Windows machine. Lol, this is going to be fun.
