I installed the latest version of Open Office and it wont open.

Hello,
Good to know, aigle, good to know.
Cheers,
Mrk

 

Actually the first launch of it is slowest. Once it is prefetched, it loads OK.

 

For anyone that use OpenOffice, I urge you to try the project fork caleed Go-OO, which I linked to earlier. It is a lot better than the default OOO builds. Load times are drastically improved, as well as a semi-facelift, and greater compatability. I'm glad I found it. It's definitely a keeper.

 

Is it compatible with MS Office? I mean the documents by MS Office can be open by it and vice versa?

Also is there any portable version of it? OpenOffioce does has!

Thanks

 

Go-oo is based on OpenOffice so compatibility should be about the same. However Go-oo can also open DOCX files (and maybe other Office 07 filetypes?) iirc.

I dont know of any portable version, sorry.

 

I tried Go-oo, and on my system infact it,s slower than OpenOffice, probably due to the absence of speed launch itself.

 

That is correct. It can open MS Office 07 files.

I cannot confirm this. It is pretty much exactly the opposit on my system, with or without Java being used.
