Re: [libreoffice-users] remote management of LibreOffice installations possible?

Hi :)
I think there was a question about this a couple of months ago and a positive 
reply with a link to documentation.  It might be best to leave the colllege's 
sys admins out of the blow-by-blow discussion here until we get a good answer 
together.
Regards from
Tom :)
