Upgrading/Installation

When installing Apache OpenOffice 4.0.0 on a machine that already has OpenOffice 3.4.1 or 3.4.0 installed on it, the user will be prompted on whether they would like "personal data" from the previous version migrated over to the new version.  This includes information like custom spell checking words, dictionaries, extensions, etc.  By default this migration is enabled, but the user can disable it via the checkbox.

• The empty directory:  C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\share\uno_packages\cache\uno_packages
• Install files directories from previous versions, often on your Desktop, iwith names like:
  • OpenOffice.org 3.4.1 (en-US) Installation Files
  • OpenOffice.org 3.4 (en-US) Installation Files
  • OpenOffice.org 3.3 (en-US) Installation Files

For Macintosh OS X Mountain Lion users, Apache OpenOffice 4.0.0 will be flagged by the new Gatekeeper facility. This is a feature to help guard against malware on Mac systems. There is a procedure laid out at the following link to allow applications not installed from the Mac App store to run. See the article at Mac support at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5290.
