Thank you for your prompt reply.
I am using Microsoft Windows Vista. In searching around trying to find
which version, I came across an icon on the start menu for Open Office
3.1,
and voila! it opened a new text document, and i could also access all my
current filed documents. Here I've been buried in a bunch of icons that
meant nothing, had really strange names, etc., and it was right there.
So,
thank you very much! You did lead me to it! I just won't pay any
attention to the icons that pop up when one first opens the computer..
What was happening was that I was missing the opening page for OO, it was
going directly to the second page. i.e. Clicked on the icon on the start
menu; then clicken on Text document and 'file' which opened what I was
looking for. When I selected 'open' or 'new document', then I went to the
window that I found so frustrating. i.e. the icon on the desk top was
skipping that first part, going directly to opening documents. Don't
know
if you can follow all that, but I am a happy camper, and I do thank you.
Have a great weekend! Ellie McCullin

Just installed the supposedly updated version of Open Office, and I can't
find anything. Finally did find 'documents', but no place could I find
to open a new document. Have been working on this for 2 days and am
totally frustrated. Your help will be GREATLY appreciated.

Eleanor,
More information is need. What operating system? I am guessing some
version of Windows. Did you in fact install OOo or just download it? If
it is installed then there should be an icon on your desktop that says
"OpenOffice.org 3.2", without the quotes. Double clicking on that will
start OOo. From the screen that opens select the Text Document icon and a
new blank document will open for you to work on.
If you just downloaded the file there will be a file called something like
"OOo_3.2.1_Win_x86_install_wJRE_en-US.exe" somewhere on your computer, the
default is on the desktop.
