Re: [libreoffice-users] LO 3.5 Templates

Hi :)
Congrats :)  Nicely done :)

The 3.5.0 is the first in that branch and we didn't actively ask people to get involved with 
beta-testing it early enough.  I was one of those guilty of telling people to stay away from it 
until the 3.5.1 so i'm feeling like i  kicked myself in the leg and also am feeling quite guilty.  
However the devs are stars so i'm sure the 3.5.1 will clear up a lot of the problems.  

If you would like to get a sneak preview of the 3.5.1 then when the beta-testing releases are made 
try installing it alongside the LO you already have
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel
or better still test on an older machine or in a virtual machine.  This allows you to switch back 
to the one you know works if you run into a problem and have a de4ad-line to keep.

Regards from
Tom :)

Hi Tom,

I managed to get 3.4.4 working after several attempts at re-installing.

I don't know what the problem was with 3.5. I guess I'll just have to 
wait for a later version.
