Re: [libreoffice-users] Delete Key Does Not Work in OS X

Hi :)
OpenOffice does sometimes conflict with LibreOffice if both are running creating 
some very weird problems.  There is a guide that helps
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel

It makes sense to keep OOo and have a stable LO as well as the latest LO from 
the development branch.  Often the only noticeable problems stop if you switch 
off the "Quick launch" or "Quick Start" thing in OpenOffice so that it is not 
running all the time in the background.  The guide gives more detail and a more 
sophisticated approach to running different versions of LO and OOo on the same 
system.

Another (but very inelegant) method would be to keep the downloads and 
installers so that you could uninstall ones you aren't currrently using.  It's 
probably easier to follow the guide tho!

Good luk and regards from
Tom :)

I still have OpenOffice installed -- wanted to keep it online "just in case."  
Also, I am still checking over all the macros.  I guess I should just remove 
OOo, since I'm more likely to fix any macros with issues than go back to OOo.  
There are only small changes here and there, but LO does seem to just "feel" 
better than OOo.  I don't know why, though.

But, on the other side of things, now that there are no macros assigned to the 
Delete key, after I closed out LO and started it up this morning, it's working.  
So I'm writing it up to just config change issues.  I doubt I could duplicate 
the issue again if I had to for bug reporting.

Thanks!
