Apache OpenOffice Community Forum

I am using Open Office on an Win XP machine.

I have read a lot of places in the forums about removing the older version first, then installing the latest version.

Is this the best way to update to newer version or is this the only way?

It's not neccesary to remove the old version. Unless somthing goes wrong with the upgrade.

+1.
Never had any problem upgrading without removing the former version.

Thanks to add '[Solved]' in your first post title (edit button) if your issue has been fixed.
