Hi Jim! Thank you for that very detailed description of the problem! It's far more helpful than the usual "It doesn't work and I don't know what to do."
You have downloaded a very old version of Open Office. The current stable version is 1.1.4 and there is a new version in testing mode called 2.0 Beta. These newer version do not rely on those DLL files and are more stable and have more features. I recommend that you go back to the Open Office site and download one or other (I would suggest the 1.1.4, because it is proven to be stable) Keith On Mon, 25 Apr 2005 23:57:56 -0500 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > To whom it may concern: > > I trust that this finds you well and in good spirits, and I trust > that you will not take umbrage should this missive have been sent to > the inappropriate discussion group. > > Pursuant to the foregoing, I confess that I am a "newbie" and > somewhat at a loss as to where I might obtain help on this issue.
