Garbled Menus After upgrade

Submitted by arw on February 19, 2009 - 11:42am

Upgraded to the latest OO Portable and now, though OO will open, all the menus are missing and garbled. I'd attached a screen shot but haven't found the trick to doing this.

To resolve I tried an additional download and upgrade. No joy so I tried manually removing the old and installing fresh. Still no luck.

Ideas?

TIA,

Problem with paths and OpenOffice doesn't start

Submitted by Lupo73 on February 19, 2009 - 8:39am

I have installed OO on Desktop, then I copy it to another folder before run it. After that I tried to run OO from both directories: from desktop started, from the other dir didn't start. Any idea?

I tried to detect and I found that in "App\openoffice\program\bootstrap.ini" the string UserInstallation is changed (now is an absolute path), can it be the cause?

Thanks!

ini file

Hi,

Must I install openoffice to my hardrive to configure the ini?

I don't really have the space.

It is a portable suite and should run on any machine. Why would the ini be relevant?

Can it be configured manually?

Thanks

Customizable OpenOffice Installer (Choose which applications)

Submitted by derekmski on February 11, 2009 - 5:10pm

Hello, you should make a customizable installer so that you can choose which components of OpenOffice you want to install. For example, all I want is Writer, Calc, and Impress. I don't want draw, math and especially base. If you can't do this, at least tell me how to remove the others ones completely, not just the icon, I want to save space.

Manual upgrade to 3.0.1?

Submitted by VSG on January 29, 2009 - 12:27pm

Hi there!

I was wondering, is there any possibility to do a manual upgrade to the newest version of OpenOffice.org?
For example to download a copy of 3.0.1 and just replace the "OpenOffice"-folder in the PortableApps-version with the new one?

As with version 3 I encountered a very long delay between the official version and the portable ones. So I'd like to do a workaround in between.

However the above mentioned method does not work.
Anyone knows how to do it or is the only possibility just to wait till the official version comes out?
