OpenOffice Portable

Just curious.

OOo is now up to release 3.2.1, whilst PA OOo is at 3.2.0. If I wanted to use 3.2.1. as my portable app (and I already had OOo 3.2.1 installed on my PC), would it simply be a case of copying the installed program files into the "App" subfolder in the PA OOo? I tried this earlier today and then ran a few registry checks and all seemed fine. Wondered if someone could confirm that?

Also noticed that OOo 3.2.1 includes a HTML editor (of sorts), would this be included in the 3.2.1 PA release of OOo?

Thanks in advance.

I just DL'ed OO Portable... For me a "portable" app is is a piece of SW I just drop into a folder anywhere on my HD or USB drive or wherever (maybe after unzipping), and run from there. Why does OO Portable come with an installer? What does it install?

I am very picky (obviously :)) about what "installs" on my machine, as I use it for running recording studio SW and I cannot afford to have the machine cluttered with all kinds of background services running. Basically, all the apps I use, except a handful trusted ones, are "portable" in the sense described above.

I just installed but found the equation editor doesn't work. Anybody else have the same problem? Any fix?

Thanks.

I have been trying to use Base to connect to a local MySQL server. I installed JavaPortable. When you go to Tools > Options > Java, Use a Java runtime environment is selected and under Java runtime environments (JRE) already installed: there is a listing for Sun Microsystems Inc. version 1.6.0_22. I've been reading through the forums and other websites and can't make sense of what I am suppose to do to connect to the database. My last look into resolving this I came across an article that suggested I download a JDBC driver for MySQL.

This situation:
I use OOo on the PC already (XP).
Now I like to take a portable version to work where this programs are not available.
Starting installing on the stick ends in the dialogue "Change, Repair" Delete". This not what I want.
I want both
An OOo on the PC to use and an OOo on stick.
How to do?

As I was reading through all the great info on the site, I saw the "ShowSingleIconForMultiIconApps=True" tip of how to get the OO icons to show as one, but when I wanted to actually go back to that page again and make that change the ini file, I couldn't find/remember where I saw it. I went to the OO support page, but it wasn't there. I had to go to solanus's homepage link (pakins sourceforge) where I remember it being mentioned again in the write-up about Folderz.

Hi

I seem unable to be able to set the file extensions in Vista for my OO Portable. If I double-click an OO document it asks me how I want it to be opened (What program), if I browse to the OO .EXE and hit OPEN, it does nothing.

It's annoying having to open the application each time, rather than just double-clicking the document.

HELP!!!

No I don't want an idiots guide to JavaScript, VBA etc. http://cresby.com is the result of JavaScript and VBA.

I need a look at what is on offer in Open Office Portable macros before I decide what compatibility means. & before I invest in the learning curve.

LibreOffice is no in Beta 3. Is there any time frame for a portable release? I do not like working in OO 3.2 and wish for Libre Portable.

Hola, alguien me confirma si el md5 (2c84bfffc5cea4c7ca218afb843e5248) es de https://downloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/OpenOfficePortable_3.2.0_...?, gracias.

Podrían adjuntar los md5 individualmente de cada idioma?. gracias.
