Older Open Office
I have used Open Office for several years and recently replaced my 14 year old computer. When I downloaded Open Office I received the new edition and while I appreciate your brilliance, I'm just lost and would like to know if you could send me a link for the older edition. I'm 75 and set in my ways. If this is possible I would gladly send a check to your project. Please send me your mailing address.Thank you.Sheila Crosby, Shreveport, LA. slcrosby_422@yahoo.com

I suggest sticking with the newer OpenOffice for a day or two more and trying to get used to it; its menus and main functions are largely unchanged from the earlier versions. If you have problems, you will get informed help on the OpenOffice User Forum at https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/

Hello,
Older versions can be found here
https://www.openoffice.org/download/
When using the above link, you will see "Select your favorite operating
system, language, and version:"
Look below "version:". That is a list that can be used to select the
version you want by clicking the arrow at the right side of the box. It
should show 4.1.11 when you first look at it. If the version you want isn't
in the list select the last option, "Older releases".
Keep in mind newer computers (especially a 14 years newer computer) may not
run older software because the older software is not compatible.
Software does reach "end of life" where it is no longer supported, bugs
fixed, hacking vulnerabilities patched, etc. And older versions may not
read files sent to you created by newer versions of software.
Open Office end of life info is here.
