If you there find the .exe file mentioned by Barbara above to start the installation process. Thereafter the process should proceed automatically, and when it's finished you should see an OOo icon under «Programmes». Click it to open a menu with the various components of the OpenOffice Suite («Writer», for example, is the OOo counterpart to MS Office «Word») and select the programme you wish to use. Good luck !...
