Mary
a little more information would help
What operating system are you using? windows XP, Vista, or 7, Apple
or
Linux (which one)
Where did you get the copy of openoffice from? did it come on a CD/
DVD
from a magazine or did you download it from www.openoffice.org
<http://www.openoffice.org/>?
When you get the setup file on your computer what did you do to
install
it? what error messages did you get?
Then someone may be able to help you
Thanks

It is always best to reply to users@openoffice.org as we are fellow
users who offer help, but are not always available all the time.
I am using Vista OS. 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?
Thanks
Rob
