Removing OOoReport

When you install OOoReport, pkgchk copies the .zip file to the user/uno_packages directory (look in Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice.org -> Paths). To remove OOoReport, delete this file, and then run pkgchk without specifying a file name. This will delete the add-on.

Upgrading OOoReport

Follow the instructions above to remove the old OOoReport and then install the new one.
