Go-oo is a fork of Sun Microsystems's OpenOffice.org by Novell that, amongst other features, includes greater Microsoft Office compatibility by turning on various Microsoft Office options and including various extensions. Many Linux distributions already include this version of OpenOffice rather than Sun's OpenOffice.org.

If you're upgrading from Sun Microsystems's OpenOffice.org to Go-oo the program will pickup an existing OpenOffice profile.

  • To configure Go-OpenOffice.org to be default application for Microsoft file formats, you can create MST with Orca Tool or edit the MSI.

Default Language Pack

  • Language pack can optionally be installed and made default, by setting it as default in newly created profile. Existing Openoffice v3 profiles are probably (!) not affected by this setting.
  • Get language pack from official OpenOffice.org v3 release or download Go-OpenOffice.org native one if it exists.
  • To make a language pack default
    • Create directory: %SOFTWARE%\Go-OpenOffice.org v3\langpack\preset\registry\data\org\openoffice
      • Create Setup.xcu inside (see below)
    • Create directory: %SOFTWARE%\Go-OpenOffice.org v3\langpack\preset\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office
      • Create Linguistic.xcu inside (see below)
  • Default language pack is applied when application is started the second time.
