Thank you for your response. I am curious- does the info in the sidebar (FreeOffice information) disappear in your portable installation too or this occurs on my machine only? This happens with both versions of FreeOffice I have (Rev 698 & Rev 703, the latter seems to be the latest).

The new FreeOffice 2016 is out –
get the most powerful free Office suite for Windows and Linux!
FreeOffice has millions of users worldwide. Since its release four years ago, it has been widely praised for its outstanding compatibility with Microsoft Office.
We have good news today! FreeOffice 2016 has been released today. It is available free of charge and comes with many new features. To name just a few:
• Now based on the same technology as SoftMaker Office 2016
• The file filters have become even better, making FreeOffice more compatible than ever before
• Enhanced PDF export (now also with comments, PDF tags, etc.)
• EPUB export for creating e-Books
• Pivot tables, worksheets with 1 million rows
• Animations and slide transitions using DirectX graphics acceleration
• Support for 4K screens and touch monitors
• ... and much more!
Get it now for free:
http://www.freeoffice.com

Should probably report this to Softmaker as a bug.

Thanks for the update, Ennovy!

I just downloaded it, but haven't installed it yet. Filesize for the installer is 73.4 MB. This probably means that the uncompressed filesize for FreeOffice is going to be substantially larger.

I remember FreeOffice 2012 being quite small.

FreeOffice reads the modern Microsoft formats DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX seamlessly – SoftMaker Office can also save in these formats

• In case anyone knows, didn't the 2012 version permit that? I have no relevant file to test ATM...

I'll try to check this. I'd very much like to switch the old SoftMaker 2006 entry (obviously now 10 years old) to something more current.

• You cannot uniextract the program and installation of course requires Admin
• The program requires registration, which means -- barring policy change -- it's not eligible for entry into the database Edit: It also requires an Internet connection so the code isn't enough, it's got to phone home.
• As usual, there's that same USBCopy.exe file in the root folder but you have to register the program before you can run it.
