There is some talk about removing the old converters that import the old StarOffice binary formats into OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice. I don't think that has happened just yet.
I would test both (say OpenOffice.org or LibreOffice 3.3.x stable versions) and make sure that some of your most important/complex documents will round-trip between StarOffice and back again without difficulty. Or if not roundtrip, that they at least open in those versions without difficulty. Then hold onto the version that works best for you. You should be able to hold onto either 3.3.x for a considerable time. At some point you should consider migrating documents to the later ODF format. Or use the OO.o/LO built-in capability to save documents as PDF that you want to keep but no longer need to edit. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Tim Fairchild [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, September 19, 2011 17:42 To: [email protected] Subject: [discuss] Re: Hello [ ... ] OK everyone, i joined this discussion simply because i am trying to find out if OOo upgrades all the features i have in my Star Office 6.5 that i'm still using after 8 years.
