Hi :) Ahh, there used to be problems but i thought those had all been sorted out. The trick was to make sure that LO and AOO weren't actively running at the same time - hence the need to disable the QuickStarter.
If there are still problems with a straight-forwards install alongside OpenOffice then these instructions might help a re-try; https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel/OS_X Apols if i made a tpyo and for guessing my probable intent so well :) Also thanks to all who pointed out a possible error error in my advice and for giving a good correction. Also thanks to all the people who reassured me that i had good reason for saying what i did. :)) Both are good reasons, imo, for preferring forums/email-lists to traditional forms of support that rely on a single point-of-contact. Many thanks, good luck and regards from Tom :) On 1 October 2016 at 00:23, Jay Lozier <jsloz...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > On 09/30/2016 06:19 PM, Girvin Herr wrote: > >> On 09/30/2016 02:23 PM, Steve Edmonds wrote: >> >>> >>> >>> On 2016-10-01 04:21, V Stuart Foote wrote: >>> >>>> TomD wrote >>>> >>>>> There is no harm in having both LibreOffice and OpenOffice installed >>>>> alongside each other. >>>>> ... >>>>> >>>> Actually they do not get along all that well, but will coexist if you >>>> perform a custom installation and disable the "Quick Starter" feature >>>> from >>>> in the Optional Components section both--and also clear the "File Type" >>>> dialog of checks to not assign a program association. >>>> >>>> Stuart >>>> >>>> I have had then running side by side on Linux fine for a few years, no >>> special install.
