Hi, this is what i found on openoffice.org websites:
http://www.openoffice.org/welcome/readme.html
"Please note that copy and paste via clipboard between OpenOffice.org
1.x and OpenOffice.org 3.0 might not work in OpenOffice.org format. If
that happens, choose 'Edit - Paste Special' and choose a format other
than OpenOffice.org, or open the document in OpenOffice.org 3.0
directly."
suppose you still want to install from the tarball, the (b) question,
here is howto:
1. unpack the tarball
2. make sure you have sufficient space (440MB or more) in /opt
3. remove & purge the current openoffice in debian.
4. use gdebi to install, start from ooobasis-core.
you can place all .deb files to local repository (if exist), so APT will
figure it up and do it for you automatically.
regards,
rustam
