You know this seems to be a common problem. People email this forum with a password issue. Since the OpenOffice.org site does not require a password to download, but in the upper right hand corner of the site, there is a registration option. Maybe people see that and thing they need to register before they can download the installation files. If so, then there needs to be some added text saying that you do not need to register to download the file[s]. Also you do not need to register your copy of OOo during the install process, as well. The easiest way to download the copy of OOo you need, is to go to the main page of the free site, www.openoffice.org, then click on "I want to download OpenOffice.org". That will expand to a yellow-green box for "Download now!". Look in the text and see if it shows the correct operating system you use. It should, but always check. If you wish some other os or language, there is a link at the bottom of that box stating "Get all platforms and languages". That list has an extensive list. By-the-by, you will see "Java Runtime Environment" in the text. You will need to have that installed to run the full features of OpenOffice.org. It is nice that is is a part of the install, so you do not need to install it later. Actually, it is a part of the Windows install file[s], since it does not come with Linux Debian and Mac. Hope that helps you. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
