[Solved] Download OpenOffice updates

Post by Dan doh »

I have a notice on my Apache Open Office to download an update. I have tried but am unable to find where I get the updates installed. The updates have been available now for several weeks that I see.

You have to go to the Apache OpenOffice site and manually initiate the download there. Once you have the download you need to manually launch it to start the installation. OpenOffice does not have automatic download and install capabilities for new versions.

The above said you would be better switching to LibreOffice. There are several good reasons to do so, some of which are mentioned here: [Tutorial] Considering a Switch from OpenOffice to LibreOffice? Some Useful Information

P.S. Likewise, LibreOffice does not have automatic download and install capabilities either.

LibreOffice (Still) 7.6.5.2 (x64) Fully installed to system
