Apache OpenOffice 4.1.13 is a Security release, incorporating bug fixes and little enhancements. All users of Apache OpenOffice 4.1.12 or earlier are advised to upgrade.

Please review these Release Notes to learn what is new in this version, as well as important remarks concerning known issues and their workarounds.
Only use the original website "https://www.openoffice.org/download/" to download. The installed software can be verified with the About box (see menu "Help – About OpenOffice") by comparing the numbers with the reference data on the download webpage (see the text in the light green box). For Apache OpenOffice 4.1.13 it has to be "AOO4113m1 | Build ID 9810 | Rev. 281f0d3533".
It is recommended to make a backup of the Apache OpenOffice users profile before installing 4.1.13. It is especially essential for users who use the Master Password functionality and may decide to use an older version later. There is a change in the encoding of stored passwords in this 4.1.13 release that may make your user profile unusable for previous versions.
In general, it is always a good idea to do a backup of important and personal data, so we recommend to always back up your OpenOffice user profile before doing an upgrade to a newer release.
Users can back up their profile by copying these directories:
| OS | Link |
|---|---|
| Windows XP and older | C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\OpenOffice |
| Windows 7 - 11 | C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice |
| macOS | /Users/<user name>/Library/Application Support/OpenOffice |
| Linux | /home/<user name>/.openoffice |
More information about the user profile is in the support forum.
