Can I use an older version of LibreOffice?

Question

Quantal has 3.6. I feel that the new version is heavier - at least for my specs. (Beside having this problem).

How could I install an older version of LibreOffice?

Answer 1

I haven't done this, but you should be able to

1) uninstall the current version using Ubuntu Software center or sudo apt-get remove libreoffice-core

2) Then go to http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?nodetect or http://archive.services.openoffice.org/pub/openoffice-archive/stable/ for old versions of openoffice and download the .deb package for your environment.

3) Then install using sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb
