[Solved] Transfer OpenOffice documents to new laptop

[paulouk]

I have saved all my OpenOffice documents on a mem stick as reamended by many but I don't know how to put these into OpenOffice that I have recently installed on my new laptop. I would be most grateful if someone could help me. Please use simple terms as I'm not completely computer savvy.
Thanks in advance.

All you need to do is store them in a folder that is intended for your personal documents. On a Windows 10 system, that would be the Documents folder. I suppose the name is the same on Windows 11. Open the memory stick on your new computer, select all of the documents you want to transfer (or select the folder they are in if you have them in a sub folder) and drag them over to the Documents folder.

Wow, brilliant. As simple as that. Job done, many thanks.

Just noticed my signature on my reply. Win XP Pro, just shows how long it is since I last used this forum. Must update it.

As you're transferring to a new computer you might want to think about switching from OpenOffice to LibreOffice. There are several good reasons for making the switch anyway, some of which are mentioned here: [Tutorial] Considering a Switch from OpenOffice to LibreOffice? Some Useful Information

Many thanks for bringing that to my attention.
