Re: [users] [moderated]getting openoffice downloaded
2010/1/19 Mary Hewitt hwttpo...@yahoo.com: Nowhere in the openoffice download page do I see any option to download version OOo_3.1.1_Win32Intel_install_en-US.exe that is recommended !! How do I get that option to appear so I can download it? Thanks. Mary Hello Mary, Normally the Openffice.org website detects which version of the program you need. When you click on Download it should already propose the right version. Otherwise, if the download doesn't start, you should be proposed to choose a mirror site at the bottom of the download page http://download.openoffice.org/contribute.html?download=bouncerproduct%3DOpenOffice.org%26os%3Dmacosxintel%26lang%3Den-US%26version%3D3.1.1 Or you can choose the right version from a table: http://download.openoffice.org/other.html#en-US If all this doesn't work, please come back here with more precise information about what doesn't work for you. -- Guy using dutch OOo Aqua 3.1.1 on a iMac Intel DualCore Snow Leopard and brazilian OOo Aqua 3.1.1 on an Intel MacBook Pro Leopard -- please reply only to users@openoffice.org -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

I am a little confused by your reply as you are saying you started the install and it appeared to download. This seems confusing to me. What you should have done is to download the windows install file from the www.openoffice.org website. This file is currently called OOo_3.1.1_Win32Intel_install_en-US.exe for the English version (there is no separate British English version). Once this file has been downloaded to your computer you should double click it (to run the install). It will unpack the downloaded file and then proceed to install the OpenOffice program once you have answered some questions. What has happened differently on your download?

If you got the download from a different site, or using a different computer than the one you are trying to install on, you might have gotten a broken or inappropriate version for Vista.
