I downloaded Java, Removed LibreOffice, and installed OpenOffice. I see all the icons, and everything, but when I click on it to open it, NOTHING happens. I just, wont open, I uninstalled, and reinstalled it. and I dont know what to do. Can anyone please help me?
All these people saying “Just use LibreOffice” are missing the point: if they ask about a program, then that means they have a usecase for said program.
This isn’t StackExchange; let’s not repeat that cycle.
Edit: Changed “is” to “are”. Lol.
This is only correct when the software in question isnt abandonware from 2014
Eh, I can see where you’re coming from, certainly, but I feel it’s a slippery slope from this stance to full-blown StackOverflow levels of ignoring-the-question.
Sure, but they may also be unaware OpenOffice is unmaintained and its worth pointing out.
Then those people should say that as an addendum or side-note to an attempted answer to OP’s question, not as a replacement for said attempted answer.
You’re not wrong, and I’m upvoting everything you say because I hate the smug SO people who ask why instead of actually trying to help.
But in this specific case, there’s literally no reason to use OpenOffice, it’s discontinued. People shouldn’t have to explain how to use a defunct software with an addendum.
It’s not an obscure programming language with an edge case, it’s a word processor.
Yeah, I hate those people too. I appreciate the support.
I can see where you’re coming from. Still, I personally try to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume until demonstrated otherwise that they have considered alternatives and decided their current program is best for their particular usecase.
Is it naïve? Possibly. I fully admit that possibility.
