[Solved] Moving AOO from Win 7/64 to Imac 10.13 High Sierra
Posted: Wed Oct 24, 2018 12:27 am
Solved!
My appreciation to all the posters! Every post contributed to the success of this move. The suggested use of the search String "~/Library/Application Support/OpenOffice/4/User" was critical to getting to the User folder. Icon navigation failed to get me there.
The Config and Registry Modifications were left in. They both appear to contain useable files such as the toolbar setup, and many of the graphics type settings. The .Dat file contained the spell checker dictionary.
As a long time user of OpenOffice on this Windows 7 laptop, I opted go move over to an IMAC OS X 10.13x.
I have one .ods file on OOG with 8 sheets that I wish to continue using on the Mac OS. It's complex, and I've been developing/customizing it for 5 years.
I've downloaded and installed the Mac version of OOG (4.1.5). I've read that I can copy my "user" folder from 'user/appdata etc' into the equivalent location on a new install on another machine. I believe they meant Windows to Windows.
SO, reaching out to the community, I'm asking for your help.
Question:
Is what I want to do possible? I want to move my settings over to OOG-Mac, open my existing .ods file, and Life is good! (Or maybe a lot of work) or worse
Search returns nothing on this topic.
Thank You;
