Re: [libreoffice-users] Brand new installation of Libreoffice 3.4.4 places a large folder on desktop! What to do with it!

The install process places a folder on your desktop that is the result 
of the uncompressing of the install files.  This can be deleted since it 
was only needed during the installation of LibreOffice.

I believe the reason for placing this file/folder on the desktop allows 
you to see where the uncompressed install files/folder is so you would 
not have to search for it to be able to delete it.

Am I reading you correctly that you removed Java completely from your 
computer?  If so why?  There is still a need for Java with LibreOffice 
and some of its extensions.  There was some indications that there were 
issues with the latest version of Java, so many of us are using older 
version of the JRE on our Windows systems.  I use version 22 on my Vista 
laptop.

As for switching from OOo to LO, I did that in the spring.

Which languages did you install with your package?

Here is a link to all the language dictionaries I have found.  Also, 
here [and in the LO Extension Center] is a link to the English spell 
checking dictionary[s] with the largest spelling word lists.  638,000+ 
words in the American, British, and Canadian word lists.

Remember, most of the OOo extensions will work with LO.
