Open Office Technology

Open Office Technology, Inc., has released updated administrative template (.adm) files for the new release of OpenOffice v2.0.4. These files also work with previous versions of OpenOffice v2.x. The updated adm files are currently available for the English, German and French versions of OpenOffice, and can be downloaded at our Download page. To request additional languages, please contact us.

Instructions for using Group Policy to upgrade to the new version of OpenOffice can be found at Upgrading OpenOffice. An installer transform (.mst) file is available to ensure the OpenOffice-Enterprise client software remains installed during the upgrade. This transform, along with some additional installation transforms are available at Installation Transforms.

OpenOffice v2.0.4 has significantly changed the path settings for user and system directories. System administrators who are currently managing OpenOffice's path settings need to add an additional setting for v2.0.4. This setting is described at Directory Paths.

As always, technical support is available at our web site.
