Uninstall Issue
I have a question regarding uninstalling open office. I currently want to uninstall it, but it is not showing up in the list of programs where you would uninstall it? The icon is on the task bar, where I put it. I can click on it, so open office is still installed, but why can't I see it to uninstall it? Thanks Robert Davis Heroes are those who risk their lives every day to protect our world and make it a better place Police, Firefighters, and members of our Armed Forces..

RE: Uninstall Issue
Also, if you are on Windows, Robert, you can use the Control Panel to uninstall Apache OpenOffice. There are different ways to find the Control Panel depending on the version of Windows you are using. On the control panel dashboard, use the Programs (Uninstall a program) item. The programs are listed in alphabetical order. You'll find Apache OpenOffice under OpenOffice 4.1.2 (for the latest release). Select that and click "Uninstall" in the menu above the list of programs. This will leave some information on your system so that a reinstall will preserve some of your settings. These are benign and should not be a concern. - Dennis > -Original Message- > From: Rory O'Farrell [mailto:ofarr...@iol.ie] > Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2016 01:25 > To: users@openoffice.apache.org > Cc: Robert Davis > Subject: Re: Uninstall Issue > > On Wed, 13 Jul 2016 02:00:34 + > Robert Davis wrote: > > > I have a question regarding uninstalling open office.

Differences Between Using Open Office Writer with OS X instead of Windows
Is anything published about these differences? Is there a forum for users on OS X? Is there a forum Moderator who uses OO Writer with OS X? I have submitted a problem to the forum, but all the response I get is from people using OO Writer on Windows and they cannot understand the problem.

Re: Differences Between Using Open Office Writer with OS X instead of Windows
I've used Apache Open Office Writer on Ubuntu and since 2013 on OSX and have had no problems. I just make sure to save as ms .doc for compatibility when sharing with others.

I, and several other volunteers, use AOO Writer with OS X I have submitted a problem to the forum, but all the response I get is from people using OO Writer on Windows and they cannot understand the problem. You could have stated the problem you were having. I searched the forums and found your posts. A link to a bug report was given. Also you stated you were using AOO with Windows 10 under Parallels. There is a Mac OS X native version of AOO. No need to run under Parallels. I have been using AOO (and its predecessor OOo) on Macs for 10 years and have never had the problem you described. -- As a courtesy I have sent a copy of this reply to you as well as to the mailing list.

So they ended up creating a set of graphical components for "StarOffice" that looked the same and worked across the several supported operating systems (back then, Windows, Unix, OS/2, etc). They called that "framework as "StarView" (1) Then came Sun Microsystems which bought Stardivision and created Sun StarOffice and OpenOffice.org opening up the source code. It included further cross-platform abilities like separation of the different apps that make the "offic suite" into components (2). Then Oracle bought Sun and then after a revolt by a group of external programmers, Oracle decided to hand over OpenOffice.org to the Apache Software Foundation. All the above is to say: the cross-platform fundamentals remain the same on today's AOO. It has and continues to look and behave the same no matter what OS you use. There is little if any retraining to be done when moving across AOO running on different operating systems. The programs should work and behave the same no matter what the underlying operating system youu are using.
