Now when I do the desktop integration:

jpuhr:/home/jason/OOF680_m14_native_packed-1_en-US.9134/RPMS/desktop-integration # rpm -Uvih openoffice.org-suse-menus-2.2-9119.noarch.rpm

file /usr/bin/soffice from install of openoffice.org-suse-menus-2.2-9119 conflicts with file from package OpenOffice_org-2.0.4-38
jpuhr:/home/jason/OOF680_m14_native_packed-1_en-US.9134/RPMS/desktop-integration #

I don't want to take out 2.0 until i know 2.2 is working.

What can I run from the command line to start 2.2? oocalc points to 2.0.

If you log as root then you can change the link for soffice and add in new ones for the new applications:

Works great! now:

what is a recommended way to take out the old version?
-can i just do an uninstall from smart/yast or will this cause me heartache?

Also I quickstarter was enabled on 2.0, it isn't available in the memory option in 2.2. Do I need a new quickstart package to enable it for 2.2?

I've not removed the old version - I have 2.0.4 - but I use the VBA support for some of my projects. However, in theory, yast should remove it with no problems.

And, personally, I don't use quickstarter at all - I find that it just uses load of memory for no real advantage.

i safely removed 2.0.4 using smart as well as the desktop integration.

regarding quickstarter: 2.2 seems to load much faster so it may not be needed as much as with 2.0. But with as many times as i start and stop calc, every little bit of time saved it productive.

Thanks for the help.

I generally close any documents when I've finished using them and leave the application open. As a result of all the problems which seem to be caused by the Windows quick starter, I would not use the Linux quick starter (if I ever install a version which has the quick starter).

BTW, why install the official build when Novell's version is evidently so good?

The suse version was very stable, the only problems I have run into is using pivot tables and this http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=52517&highlight=

So since I couldn't figure out the print problem, I decided to do a fresh install. Worked out well. Now the 2.2 I have installed on Kubuntu 7.04 has a much to longer load time. 32 vs 64 bit processor could also have something to do with it.
