Hi again

a first link in basic
http://codesnippets.services.openoffice.or
g/Office/Office.Version.snip

in java at the end

you may also consider using ooSetupVersionAboutBox instead
of ooSetupVersion

Hi Laurant,

thanks a lot for your solution. It works perfect!

> you may also consider using ooSetupVersionAboutBox
instead of

ooSetupVersion returns "2.3" and
ooSetupVersionAboutBox returns "2.3.0".
My version comparison method works with both, so it doesn't
matter.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Greetings, Tobias
