Registration of OpenOffice.org as default application for Microsoft Office forma
ts can be forced or suppressed by using the following command line switches with
the installer:
* /msoreg=1 will force registration of OpenOffice.org as default application for
Microsoft Office formats.
* /msoreg=0 will suppress registration of OpenOffice.org as default application
for Microsoft Office formats.
If you perform an administrative installation using setup /a, you need to make s
ure that the file msvc90.dll is installed on the system. This file is required f
or OpenOffice.org to start after an administrative installation. You can get the

---------------------------------------------------------------------Extension Database Incompatibility
---------------------------------------------------------------------The Berkeley database engine has been upgraded in this version of OpenOffice.org
. The database engine upgrade introduces an incompatibility with user data for i
nstalled extensions for OpenOffice.org versions prior to 3.2 that may require yo
ur action if you downgrade your version of OpenOffice.org.
This version of OpenOffice.org will convert your extension database to the new B
erkeley database format when extensions are installed or removed. After this con
version, the database can no longer be read by earlier versions of OpenOffice.or
g. Downgrading to an earlier version may result in a dysfunctional installation.
If you downgrade to an earlier version of OpenOffice.org, you must remove the us
er data directory {user data}/uno_packages, for example ~/.openoffice.org/3/user
/uno_packages, and reinstall all extensions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------Problems During Program Startup
---------------------------------------------------------------------Difficulties starting OpenOffice.org (e.g. applications hang) as well as problem
s with the screen display are often caused by the graphics card driver. If these
problems occur, please update your graphics card driver or try using the graphi
cs driver delivered with your operating system. Difficulties displaying 3D objec
ts can often be solved by deactivating the option "Use OpenGL" under 'Tools - Op
tions - OpenOffice.org - View - 3D view'.
---------------------------------------------------------------------ALPS/Synaptics notebook touchpads in Windows
---------------------------------------------------------------------Due to a Windows driver issue, you cannot scroll through OpenOffice.org document
s when you slide your finger across an ALPS/Synaptics touchpad.
To enable touchpad scrolling, add the following lines to the "C:\Program Files\S
ynaptics\SynTP\SynTPEnh.ini" configuration file, and restart your computer:
[OpenOffice.org]
FC = "SALFRAME"
SF = 0x10000000
SF |= 0x00004000
The location of the configuration file might vary on different versions of Windo
ws.
---------------------------------------------------------------------Shortcut Keys
---------------------------------------------------------------------Only shortcut keys (key combinations) not used by the operating system can be us
ed in OpenOffice.org. If a key combination in OpenOffice.org does not work as de
scribed in the OpenOffice.org Help, check if that shortcut is already used by th
e operating system. To rectify such conflicts, you can change the keys assigned
by your operating system. Alternatively, you can change almost any key assignmen
t in OpenOffice.org. For more information on this topic, refer to the OpenOffice
.org Help or the Help documention of your operating system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------Problems When Sending Documents as E-mails From OpenOffice.org
---------------------------------------------------------------------When sending a document via 'File - Send - Document as E-mail' or 'Document as P
DF Attachment' problems might occur (program crashes or hangs). This is due to t
he Windows system file "Mapi" (Messaging Application Programming Interface) whic
h causes problems in some file versions. Unfortunately, the problem cannot be na
rrowed down to a certain version number. For more information visit http://www.m
icrosoft.com to search the Microsoft Knowledge Base for "mapi dll".
