<h1>Java & Apache OpenOffice, OpenOffice.org</h1>
<h3>Why Do I Need Java to Use Apache OpenOffice?</h3>
-<p>Java is required for complete OpenOffice (OpenOffice.org) functionality. Java is mainly required for the HSQLDB database
-engine (used by our database product Base) and to make use of accessibility and assistive technologies. Furthermore some
-wizards rely on Java technology. See additional topics pertaining to the use of Java in OpenOffice.org and Apache
-OpenOffice in the <a href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/FAQ/Installation">Installation FAQ</a></p>
-<p>So what does this mean exactly? Base (the database component) relies completely on Java technologies to run, but other
-programs (like Writer, Calc and Impress) only need Java for special functionality. If you do not need to use Base and do not
-want to use any of the Wizards, then you do not need to have Java installed and configured for running Apache OpenOffice
-(and older versions of OpenOffice.org). You can completely prevent OpenOffice from prompting you about the use of Java by
-telling OpenOffice not to use a Java runtime environment (JRE). From the OpenOffice main menu use:
-<strong>Tools -> OpenOffice.org -> Java</strong>, and uncheck "Use a Java runtime environment". However, we do recommend
-that you have a Java Runtime Environment on your system to take full advantage of OpenOffice's features without any
-issues.</p>

<h3>Which Java Version Do I Need to Use Apache OpenOffice?</h3>
-<p>You will need to have a JRE (Java Runtime Environment) version (32-bit or 64-bit) that is compatible with the architecture of the Apache OpenOffice version you downloaded. If you already have a JRE installed on your system that satisfies this requirement in one of the standard areas for Java installation, OpenOffice should detect this installation and let you choose it for use in OpenOffice via the <strong>Tools-> OpenOffice.org -> Java</strong>.
-If you have a JRE installed that is not detected, you should be able to add it through this same menu. And, you can install a JRE or configure OpenOffice to use Java at any time to get missing functionality to work.</p>
-<p><em>Apache OpenOffice for Windows note:</em></br> The Windows version of OpenOffice is 32-bit and requires a 32-bit JRE. You must install a 32-bit JRE even if you already have a 64-bit JRE installed.</p>

+
+<p><b>Important note for Apache OpenOffice on Windows:</b>
+</br>
+The Windows version of OpenOffice is 32-bit and requires a 32-bit JRE. You must install a 32-bit JRE even if you already
+have a 64-bit JRE installed.
+</p>
<h3>Where Can I Get Java?</h3>
<p>The current versions of Apache OpenOffice work reliably with a variety of JREs including
-<a href="http://java.com">Oracle Java, versions 6 and 7</a> and <a href="http://openjdk.java.net/">openJDK, versions 6 and 7</a>. Feel free to download a JRE
-from either of these sites if you feel you need this functionality. </p>

<!--
take this out for now
<p><strong>The current version, Apache OpenOffice 3.4, has reported problems with using the 32-bit JRE on 64-bit Windows 7
