Here it is: "It ain't gonna happen." When OOo is uninstalled, it
does not delete any file that you have created with it unless you put
the file in a folder that OOo deletes. If that is possibly scarry, just
remember this much: OOo leaves the entire "user" folder along with its
subfolders alone when it is uninstalled. That is the only folder of OOo
you should use to store any created documents anyway. The uninstall
program does not search outside of the OOo folder itself.
