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.

Installer filename: go-oo-3.2.0-10.exe Uninstall string: AFB21BFE-40E6-42FB-A010-B80F417D8E71 Build: ? Build date: ?

"spell check is broken in 3.2.0-10, fixed in forthcoming 3.2.0-11. However we have a manual fix. http://go-oo.mirrorbrain.org/stable/win32/3.2/. uninstall then reinstall from go-oo.org download section."

"[*] We are sorry but the bundled extension with dictionaries is broken in the GoOo-3.2-10.exe Windows build. Please remove it in Tools/Extension Manager… and install the fixed one. Only this single fix will be included in the upcomming GoOo-3.2-11.exe build."

Petr Mladek said: "We have fixed one more problem this week (non-working java). The fixed Winodws build should get uploaded the following week. Basically, the Java functionality did not work at all (Wizards, java extensions). The solution is to install msvcr71.dll [from %PROGRAMFILES%\Java\jre6\bin\msvcr71.dll] into c:\Propgram Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program or into c:\windows\system32. This dll is part of the Sun JRE. Unfortunately, OOo is not able to find it in the JRE installation."

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


Extensions

Extensions can be installed using "unopkg add --shared path-to-file.oxt" and removed using "unopkg remove --shared extension-identifier". The Extension identifier can be found in "description.xml" within the .oxt archive.

Unopkg is documented here.

<package  
    id="openoffice_pdfimport"
    name="PDF Import Extension for Openoffice"
    revision="1"
    reboot="false"
    priority="0">

     <depends package-id="openoffice_v3" />
     <check type="execute" path="%SOFTWARE%\openoffice\extensions\check_pdfimport.cmd" condition="exitcodeequalto" value="0" />
     <install cmd='"%PROGRAMFILES%\OpenOffice.org 3\program\unopkg" add  --shared "%SOFTWARE%\openoffice\extensions\pdfimport.oxt"' />
     <upgrade cmd='"%PROGRAMFILES%\OpenOffice.org 3\program\unopkg" add -f  --shared "%SOFTWARE%\openoffice\extensions\pdfimport.oxt"' />
     <remove cmd='"%PROGRAMFILES%\OpenOffice.org 3\program\unopkg" remove --shared com.sun.star.PDFImport-windows_x86' />
</package>

check_pdfimport.cmd (referenced above) uses unopkg to determine if the extension is installed.

"%PROGRAMFILES%\OpenOffice.org 3\program\unopkg" list --shared com.sun.star.PDFImport-windows_x86 >NUL 2>&1


Some extensions require that we agree to a license. In this case modify the install command as follows:

<install cmd='%COMSPEC% /c echo yes | "%PROGRAMFILES%\OpenOffice.org 3\program\unopkg" add  --shared "%SOFTWARE%\openoffice\extensions\pdfimport.oxt"' />

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.
