Log On info

[Frank Galler <fr...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
I have just downloaded the Open Office prog and it seems to be exactly what
I was looking for. Thank you.
I wish to have access to my account on another device.....Will I need the
original details or did I need to enter passwords etc., .....if I did, I
failed to keep details. What is the method of Log On using another device.
Thank you.

It is important to know that OpenOffice keeps merely a list of the last ten files edited on that installation.  These are stored on the local computer, not remotely in the cloud; to be edited on one or other computer, the file(s) need to be physically transferred from one to the other.

It _is_ possible to use remote storage (the cloud); if you know about that and wish to do so, you probably know enough to sort it out yourself - I cannot help.

Thank you for downloading OpenOffice. OpenOffice runs locally on each
computer and there is no account to log into. The first time you start the
program, there is a registration process but that sets up a user profile
for that machine. The user profile stores your document templates, menu
customizations, macro scripts and other details that are specific to your
preferred use of OpenOffice on that computer. You may store the files that
you make on a remote drive so they can be easily accessed from many
computers but each computer must have its own copy of OpenOffice.
I hope that helps clarify the situation. If you need more help, it would be
best to use the user forum (https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/) or the
user mailing list. This mailing list is for developers.
Regards,
Francis
