Previous download

Post by JackieLacey »

We had apache open office for a couple of years until the boss changed a battery in the cpu and lost it. Is there any way to retrieve the information stored in the previous registration and transfer it to the new?

OpenOffice registration is only to identify the user to the computer, so you can safely reinstall a fresh version of OO on your computer. If there is an existing user profile from a previous installation of the same version number (most likely version 3, or version 4) the new installation should pick that up.

The existing files ought be on the computer and can be opened using /File /Open; as you open these files they will appear in OO /File /Recent documents, to the inbuilt limit of ten recently opened files.
