I have been using it for a number of years now and Apache OpenOffice® works fine.

RoryThanks for the response! I believe Windows 10 is listed in the instructions as one I could use, if I read it right.

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.

Re: Downloading Open Office and Verification
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.

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.

Downloading Open Office and Verification
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 :)
