How do I change the shortcuts for all users on a multiuser system like
K12LTSP. I have about 80 users to update.

OOo is a monolithic code base. Unlike MSO, it is not separate programes, it

User settings in the /home/~username/.openoffice.org2 will remain intact.

openoffice.org2.0 in my system. I see that in March I actually did a manual
install of OO.o 2 without uninstalling OO.o 1.1 Since I updated to K12LTSP 5
(Fedora Core 5) I now have two settings directories .openoffice.org2.0 and
.openoffice.org2

An OOo sourced install will create a /home/~username/.openoffice.org2

Or it could be that the updated version fixed the problem? That is if the
problem is fixed. Here's hoping!
