RoryThanks for the response!  I believe Windows 10 is listed in the 
instructions as one I could use, if I read it right.  Are you saying I can't 
use Windows 10?Carol

Be aware that a different version is needed for Windows.  Select that from the 
URL you have been given.  Normally in Windows the built-in file checking is 
adequate; when in Windows you double click the download it will (99.9% of time, 
depending on how good your Internet connection is) install or complain.  If it 
complains you have a bad download and should try again.

Follow what Rory says.  Verifying is usually a redundant set since most 
browsers check the CRC when the have finished downloading.  The SHA MD5 
whatever are if you are downloading from a site you do not trust and think the 
official site had been altered.

Yes you can use windows 10. I have been using it for a number of years
now and Apache OpenOffice® works fine. As others have mentioned the
verification step is not mandatory and 99+% of the time it will install
with no problems.

Downloading Open Office and Verification

[Carol Reese1]

I have not yet downloaded Open Office because I’m not clear on what is needed.  
Is ‘Verification of Integrity’ required?  Or can I just download Open Office?  
I can’t understand exactly what to do to verify.  
Thanks  :)

Are you on a Mac with Catalina installed as the latest OS?

If so, Apple requires that you go through an extra step to install (not just 
download0.

Try these instructions: 
https://www.openoffice.org/download/common/instructions.html

Do not download Open Office from anyplace other than  
www.openoffice.org/download

Thanks for the help!  I was on a Mac but I will be putting Open Office on our 
PC with Windows 10.  The instructions on 'Verification' seems complicated.
