OpenOffice 4.0 Office Suite (gb lang version) Subject description: Better MSOffice support
G'day,
I cobbled this package together and it works well in a fresh Puppy Lucid install. I kinda expect it to work well in other Puppies as long as glibc has been updated for the older Pooch.... I'll get around to testing it in 3.01 soonish....
I haven't tested the Java support yet but I expect it'll only work with the 1.6 versions.

PS. This is GB English version so peeps from Blighty will be happy ... especially after our stupid cricket team got smashed during the Ashes tour.
I run Libreoffice 4.02 in 3.01 I have updated Gcc from puppy linux 4 and Gtkdialog 4 and Glib from Puppy 4 and glibc and glibc locales 2.10 it is also a good idea to have gconf and Orbit installed to ensure trouble free operation.

OpenOffice 4.0 Office Suite (gb lang version)
I don't know if the Apache OpenOffice Unofficial Development Builds have been updated again this year, but version 3.4.1 is available right here. These builds have been compiled with glibc 2.5 so they will run on some of the earlier distros. For Puppy, download the Full Archived Set... no installation required. This is a much easier and safer method than trying to upgrade libc6 in order to run the regular latest version of OpenOffice. See my posts in this thread for more detailed information.

With Puppy Linux 3.01 and 4 series people like Dewby and myself and others have successfully managed to apply glibc updates and I can report no adverse effects from doing so if it is done correctly.
