I don't tend to use mirrors. I just download from the OOo web page and there isn't a British English version there.There isn't even one on the "localisations" web page <http://projects.openoffice.org/native-lang.html>. I also doubt the OP of this thread will be using a mirror. Last I heard of a British English version it was withdrawn because it was quite badly broken and fixing it wasn't on the radar. Where do you find mirrors for OOo? Are there links from the OOo web site? Where please? Also, "./extended" sounds like *nix. I'd need a Windows version as, I think, would the OP. Is there one? Where please? The UK Mirror Service site http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.openoffice.org/stable/2.4.1/ doesn't even have a "extended" directory. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [email protected]
