Thanks for the link to the OpenOffice thread, it is exactly the problem I am having. Nice to know it will be an easy fix... once I can find the System folder! I can't seem to find "Users" or "Library" at all. Using Finder, I am pulling up "System Preferences" and "System Information," but no "System." Like I said, Mac retarded. :(
Any directives would be much appreciated!
