RE: [libreoffice-users] LO Conflicts with OOo

Hi :)
There is a guide to help avoid the usual conflicts
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel

I think the problems are mostly when both version are open at the same time, for example if one is 
permanently kinda open by having it's QuickLauncher on.  
Regards from
Tom :)
