Ah, that is a simple solution... ;-) >> For an experienced Linux developer this may clear, but I think many people >> would be helped if this would be explained a bit more. (Something like: >> "Install the developer's package of LibreOffice that is present in the >> repository of your Linux distribution, > or install LibreOffice manually from ... .

You are right, how could I have overlooked it! I think I overlooked it because after reading the first option "If you have installed an official The Document Foundation LibreOffice release" I was under the impression this was the case, because I assumed that my operating system's package manage would not do anything else. Therefore, I probably skipped reading the second option. So, perhaps it would help to explicitly add to the first option "if you did *not* use your operating's systems package manager but ... then ...". Or simply reverse the order of the options. (Just thinking along, I know how valuable it can be if a newcomer goes through manuals, the problem is you cannot be a newcomer twice... ;-) ) _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
