Re: [libreoffice-users] Win7 x64 JRE & Base...

Hi :)
Try opening Writer or one of the other apps and go to

Tools - Options - LibreOffice/General - Java

Hopefully you will already see at least 2 different versions of Java already installed on your 
machine and therefore listed.  Choose the one that is closest to version 6u21.  

It's possible to keep the latest version of java which you need for your web-browsers and stuff but 
you can download and install the 6u21 version so that only LibreOffice can access it using the 
Tools - Options.  The 6u20 and 6u22 are also good but the 6u21 is best.  

If you have trouble downloading the older version please just ask as someone here might be able to 
help with that.  I couldn't find the download site that other people have pointed to previously.  

Regards from
Tom :)
