You can clear the Recent Documents list (all 10) from the same menu, but it will add new ones when you open other documents. The simplest solution is to read the two top rows and ignore the rest.

I even closed OpenOffice. Now I reopened the document, selected all, and copied and pasted into a new document. The new document showed all three custom styles. (A manual page break was not carried over, which confused the issue slightly, but the styles were all there.)

Re: Nightly builds
Saifi Khan wrote: The Apache OpenOffice nightly build packages have .tar.gz extension when in fact they are .tar No, they are .tar.gz ; but most browsers will uncompress .tar.gz files on the fly and thus you'll see the already extracted .tar file. https://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/install/linux64/Apache_OpenOffice_4.2.0_Linux_x86-64_install-arc_en-US_2016-08-09_04:31:06_174.tar.gz If you download it properly (with wget, say) you get a file with md5sum a655f761ddb45a0e544faf4889c2ec5c which is a compressed gzip file as expected. A compressed .tar.gz reduced the download size considerably for the users who'd like to try out the nightly build. It wouldn't anyway. The tar, in turn, contains already compressed data (.deb and .rpm are compressed). So gzipping is just to obey conventions - but we do it anyway. The last nightly build available for download is annotated is 2016-08-09. However, today's build should be annotated as 2016-08-20. Is the page at https://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/index.html auto-generated along with the nightly build ? It is. But it is updated only when a build is successful, and the build is currently broken. See https://ci.apache.org/builders/openoffice-linux64-nightly/ We've updated some dependencies and we need software updates on the build machines. Builds will be "green" again once those systems receive the needed updates (hopefully in a few days).

It will, but OpenOffice 4.1.2 has a known bug affecting Java-based operations: https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=126622 So if you plan to use OpenOffice Base extensively you might want to use version 4.1.1, and then upgrade it when a new version (after the current 4.1.2) is released.

Is there any alternative URL to use for the updates ? No. This is by design. Our released version contain valid update URLs. Our development versions (like the nightly build you downloaded) do not have supported update channels. When you wish to update them, just uninstall or remove the previous development version and install the newer one. Where, can i configure this ? This can be configured in a file named versionrc (under Windows the name is versionrc.ini or version.ini). But in your case there is no meaningful value to put there, as explained above.

Nightly builds
Hi: The Apache OpenOffice nightly build packages have .tar.gz extension when in fact they are .tar Please see https://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/index.html#linux64 or more specifically https://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/install/linux64/Apache_OpenOffice_4.2.0_Linux_x86-64_install-arc_en-US_2016-08-09_04:31:06_174.tar.gz A compressed .tar.gz reduced the download size considerably for the users who'd like to try out the nightly build. Perhaps, somebody can fix that ? The last nightly build available for download is annotated is 2016-08-09. However, today's build should be annotated as 2016-08-20. Is the page at https://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/index.html auto-generated along with the nightly build ?
