Thank you.cb > I assume you're running Windows. If so, just double click on the file you downloaded to start the installation process. After installation completes, there should be an OpenOffice folder & icons in your Start menu. You use the icons to start the various components. If you downloaded version 3, there is also an option to place an icon on your desktop. OpenOffice can read & write Microsoft Office files, but by default saves in ISO Standard ODF file formats. This means you'll have to specify the appropriate Microsoft Office file format, when you save the file. You can also e-mail in the desire format from OpenOffice, by clicking on File > Send > E-mail as Microsoft Word. I hope this answers your questions. If not please post again with further information. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org>
