StarOffice 5.2
-----------------------------------------------------------

Dear User

This file contains important information about the program. Please reads these comments carefully before starting work.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Installation Information
-----------------------------------------------------------

You can install your StarOffice alongside an older StarOffice if you want. If you were then to deinstall one of the versions, it is advisable to call up the setup program of the remaining installation and run the Repair option. This makes sure that entries removed from the registry are replaced.

Make sure that you have enough free memory in your temp directory.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Migration from StarOffice 5.1 to StarOffice 5.2
-----------------------------------------------------------

If StarOffice 5.1 has been installed on your system, the setup application of StarOffice 5.2 allows you to migrate from the old to the new version.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Systray Integration
-----------------------------------------------------------

Due to technical reasons certain services will not be able to be displayed or problems may be caused by the Systray Integration (the display of running services at the bottom right in the Task Bar). If this is the case you can switch off this integration by calling up the following in the Windows installation directory:

sointgr.exe -u

After restarting Windows the service will no longer be started.

Use sointgr.exe -i to activate this service again.

IMPORTANT: Under no circumstances should you simply close the active sointgr service.

Notes on Eastern European, Russian, Greek and Turkish Documents
-----------------------------------------------------------

StarOffice 5.2 now provides better support of Eastern European, Russian, Greek and Turkish character sets.  You are now able to create, load, save, import and print documents containing Cyrillic characters on a Russian system.

Please note that such a document can no longer be loaded or edited in StarOffice 5.1a, 5.1 or 5.0 as crashes or loss of data may occur. StarOffice 5.1a, 5.1 and 5.0 will not issue warnings if you load such documents.
