Hello,
Something happened to my computer which I lost quiet a lot of
programs . One of them being Openoffice. Although the icon is still present
when I actually go in to write a text letter, I find nowhere which says new doc
(text) ,(Graph) or anything else. I have down loaded 3.2 using my current
account, but still no joy. Could you please help.

The reference to "using my current account" is confusing, since no account (other than the one with
your ISP) is required to get OOo from the www.openoffice.org website. Did you double-click on the
downloaded file, and follow the installation dialogs that then came up? If not, that would be your
next step. Once installation is complete, you should have several ways to start the various parts of
OOo. Assuming you are using some form of Windows, there should be an entry in your Start menu for
OOo, with the various components (like Writer) in the group. Also, there is generally an icon that
brings up a "splash page" with a button for each component, and possibly an icon in your taskbar for
the QuickStarter, which also allows access to all the components. From within any of the components,
the File > New option also lets you create a new document of any of the supported types. The new
document will be named Untitled.odt for a text document, and similarly for the other types of files,
until you save under a different name.
If this doesn't solve your problem, please give us more information, including what operating system
and version you are using, the website you downloaded from, the name of the file you downloaded, the
steps you take to try to create a new document, and what exactly you are seeing.
Please keep any responses on the [email protected] mailing list, so others
can help as needed.
