[Solved] OO updates

[jmdraft]

When I open an OO doc, I get a note about available updates. I click it but nothing ever comes up. First, I want to know how to find these updates. Second, I want to know if I do them, will it affect any of the data I have stored in my present OO docs.

Normally (for me at least), clicking on the notification just opens a page in my web browser. I guess, if OO has trouble finding or starting the browser, or if the browser just opens the page in the background, it could appear that nothing happens.

The only updates I've noticed are new versions of the English dictionary extension.

“

[Hagar Delest]

Works fine for me, it found the English dic.
It is available here: http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/pro ... openoffice

Please add [Solved] at the beginning of the title in your first post (top of the topic) with the edit button if your issue has been fixed.

Are you actually using OOo 3.1? It's 6 years old.

Another way to do the updates is to ignore the Update message, then use /Tools /Extension manager and press the "Check for Updates" button". It may be that the update mechanism for OO 3,x is faulty. As Bill says, that version is 6 years old. Best to upgrade to 4.1.1

[jmdraft]

It says: 4.1.1
Is their a newer version?

[RoryOF]

That is the latest. Try the /Tools /Extension "Check for updates" button.

[jmdraft]

OK thanks

I don’t think I need the English thing. but I don’t see this on the site: Please add [Solved]

It says: 4.1.1

No, but your signature says that you're using OOo 3.1 and you asked about OO updates, not updates for AOO 4.1.1.

How to update your software information signature

[jmdraft]

When I click on about, it says 4.1.1 so I guess this is solved.
Looked for edit but didn’t find how to update signature.
Still didn’t find how to mark solved.

Thanks all,

Updated signature. Looking for but still can’t find Solved.

You go to the first posting in your query and choose Edit from icons at top right. Then you place [Solved] at beginning of Subject line and tick the checkbox under the green tick.

I've done it for you.
