This list is a good start and there are many users here will help you through what ever it is your trying to do on OpenOffice. I'm not too sure if you downloaded OpenOffice from the official OpenOffice web site (www.openoffice.org), but I'll assume that it operates the same.

Once you find the shortcuts you can open what ever module you like (writer, calc, impress, draw) and go from there. There is a myriad of information on the www.openoffice.org website. Have a search through there for starters. In addition - below is a link to the FAQ's just to get you started : http://user-faq.openoffice.org/faq/index.html-toc.html > >And then the recommedation to install the " Security Patch for > >OpenOffice.org 1.1.4".

Admittedly it can be a little daunting. There is a link to some software that is commonly used for calculating Md5 calculations if you want to follow it. However if you have successfully installed 1.1.4 onto your computer you can probably skip the Md5 check. If however you have problems later this could be a solution that people will propose in order to find whether this is the cause of the issues.
