[Solved] Installed Java x64 for full use of OpenOffice

Post by 14Moon15 »

I installed Java to fully use Open Office features, this past September. I have Windows 11. I chose the x64 bit according to what I read regarding my browser. I really don't understand it...x32, x64. I thought I had it figured out or made a guestimate. But I think I screwed up somewhere.

Because I still get a pop up saying something like I have to install Java to utilize all Open Office features.

Also I did get an update about five weeks ago to download the latest version. Which I did.

I'm not that proficient with Open Office, don't use it professionally, but I figure I might as well have all its features available. Trying to find time to learn it better...

If anyone has any ideas, I can use it.

Thank you in advance.

The Apache OpenOffice is a 32 bit application, and there is not 64 bit version for the Windows. The 32 bit AOO requests 32 bit Java even on a 64 bit op. sys.

Or you can install the latest Still version of the LibreOffice. That has 64 bit version too.

You would be best advised to switch from using OpenOffice to LibreOffice. There are several good reasons for doing so, some of which are given here: [Tutorial] Considering a Switch from OpenOffice to LibreOffice? Some Useful Information
