Can't find upgrade, Can't Uninstall - How do you get rid of OO to
start over? I can't Paste out of OO 3.2 on Debian Linux.
I have OpenOffice 3.2.1.4 on Debian Squeeze (Linux)
How does one remove old OpenOffice to get a new one?
When I try to paste text from Open Office to ANY other application, I lose
words
and parts of lines, whole paragraphs.
It's inconsistent. Sometimes it will paste the first two lines out of 5,
sometim
es only the final word in a paragraph, or just one character out of a
paste, will make it to the new page. This happens between OO and gedit, OO
and vi(m), OO and IRC/XChat2, OO document1 and OO document2, and OO and web
based email.
It might have started in December, when I fixed the bug that wasn't letting
OO open. Re: [Solved] Stuck in Document Recovery .. or more recently. We
are moving house; I haven't had time to focus on my computer.
Upgrading was suggested. I tried very hard to find an acceptable download
of 4.1 for i386. Nobody is in the Debian OpenOffice Freenode channel.
http://sourceforge.net/directory/os:linux/freshness:recently-updated/?q=OpenOffice_4.0.1_Linux_x86_install-deb
does not show me the correct file. I keep getting a RedHat type download.
If I can't use OpenOffice, I have to do something. I need help, please?
Linda

Probably the most convenient way for you to get the exact version/package
you need is to go to:
http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html
Please get back to this list if you still encounter problems.

There is quite a bit of discussion on the internet about similar or same

The clipboard is a utility that is part of my desktop environment, look
in your menu system, >utilities. Has different names depending on
which DE yoy are using.

I have Squeeze & OO 3.2.1-11+squeeze8, Debians packaging. No issues
with cut/copy paste. I have had issues with some DE with the clipboard,
which causes unpredictable behaviour you mention. Clearing the
clipboard history worked here.
