OpenOffice Portable

I wonder if someone could help me. I have openoffice 3 on a laptop running windows XP. The software runs OK But I can't seem to start it up by double-clicking a document (which I used to be able to do). Furthermore, if I right-click and select "choose program to open with" (or whatever the wording is) OO doesn't appear on the list. I can navigate to the folder (under AppsPortable in my root C drive) but can't selectt the program. I can drag documents onto a shortcut on the desktop and they will open, but this is tedious, I want to be able to simply double click as I used to. Any ideas?

Hallo,

I just downloaded and "installed" the german version of oop 3.0 on an english Windows 2000 Server with Citrix Presentaton Server 4.0 using the administrator account. However, when I use writer or calc with "user" privileges now (and not as "administrator" - this way everything is okay) and try to save a file I receive the error message (I have to translate german to english):

"Error when saving the document TEST"
"Error when saving the file"

Can someone please tell me how to install this dictionary without breaking the portability. I once tried installing another one with its installer but it broke the spell check and the portability.

Hello,

I've noticed a freeze of OpenOffice v3.0 when trying to use the Stylist function (the style manager). The Stylist window appears and can be closed but Open Office is freezed.

Hello world

To reproduce :
0- Win XP Pro SP2
1- donwload OpenOffice.org 3.0 Portable : https://downloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/OpenOffice.org_Portable_3...
2- install and lauch
3- click F7 or "Outils > Orthographe et grammaire"
Crash !

"Runtime error

R6025
- pure virtual function call"

Can I upgrade 2.4.1 by installing 3.0.0 over it??

The installation instructions don't seem to address this.

Thanks!
And thanks, John, and the rest for an outstanding collection of portable applications!!

First of all I want to thank the PortableApps.com people.

Unfortunately I'm having difficulties installing portable OOO 3.0.
The installation of the prerelease failed because of a writing error. I waited for the final release hoping the problem would be fixed, but i still get a writing error, forcing me to cancel further installation.

This is where the installation fails:

"Extract: ofapi.rdb... 62%"

-> popup error window:

"Extract: error writing to file offapi.rdb"

is this software compatible with windows vista 32 bit version? i upgraded from xp and now the program will not run. and advice would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

Hello. I also had a problem with localization. I resolved it in the following simple way:

Well: everything seems to peak. Remember how lovely DOS 3.30 was and how awful 4; how much nicer Office 2003 is than the horrendous 2007; how useable XP is and how un-useable Vista?
I feel the same about OO 2 as compared with OO 3 which is bulky, unnecessary and so S-L-O-W. Can anybody point me back to a source for
OpenOffice.org_Portable_2.?_en-us.paf.exe
please? Thank you very much.
