OpenOffice update on an iMac

[Basil Franey <fr...@shaw.ca>]

Hello

I have recently updated the operating system on my iMac to version 10.14.2. Up till now, I have been using an older version of OpenOffice, version 3.2. Really great -many thanks for making this available.

Apple have advised me I need to update my OpenOffice to the current version as the older one will not be supported in future.

I see that you recommend deleting the older version before installing the new one.

Question: How can I save existing spread sheet files already created on version 3.2 and transfer them to the newer version of OpenOffice? Please don’t tell me I will have to retype them all!

Thank you

Strictly speaking, that old version is no longer supported by Apache 
OpenOffice.

You don't need to do anything - your files will remain wherever you have 
saved them regardless of updating Apache OpenOffice. Please only 
download from http://www.openoffice.org/download/ and please read the 
installation guides that are linked from that page - on the right.

As a courtesy I have sent a copy of this reply to you as well as to the 
mailing list. Do Not reply to me personally but just to the list at 
<us...@openoffice.apache.org> - replies to my personal email address 
will be ignored.

Since you are not subscribed to this list you may not see all the
