On User Forum we always advise only to download from the link on www.openoffice.org or as redirected by its loadsharing. Before installing a download of OpenOffice it can be useful to check file integrity by the MD5Sum process. See http://www.openoffice.org/download/md5sums/index.html for details. The (2) in the filename you quote above indicates that this is the third copy of a file with that name on your computer. Probably you do not need another download. I suggest you try the MD5Sum process; if the checksum matches one or other copy of the file, then install from that. -- Rory O'Farrell <[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
