Users often ask if they need to uninstall NeoOffice before installing a newer version. The short answer is NO; in fact, completely uninstalling NeoOffice using the linked instructions before launching the new version may actually cause your old preferences to be reset and dictionaries, macros and other user files to be deleted. NeoOffice will install over top of an existing NeoOffice installation, replacing the old version while preserving a number of “user” files that live inside of the application bundle. On first launch, the newly installed version of NeoOffice will also offer to import your existing NeoOffice preferences. After upgrading, you should be sure to install the most current version of any language packs and check for upgrades to any installed dictionaries.
