Open Office for Windows ME Platform?

Post by mdbrimble »

I have Windows Me on my computer. Is there a version of OpenOffice I can use?

Latest compatible with Windows ME is 2.4.2.

Thanks to add '[Solved]' at beginning of your first post title (edit button) if your issue has been fixed.

OOo stopped supporting Win98 & ME as of version 3.0.

Older versions are not usually available through the OO.org site, but you should still be able to find a download somewhere of version 2.4.2, the last stable version released before 3.0.

Others here have recommended filehippo.com as a source for older versions of OOo. Hopefully they have it, but I haven't checked.

Interesting. I thought OO.org only has the latest stable version. Thanks for the correction.

Personally, since they still offer it, I would get it from OO.org.

+1.

FileHippo and other such sites are a last (or at least second) resort. Always get it from OOo when you can.

2.4.2 is also accessible from the first page of the OOo web page, bottom right in the Other versions section.
