I believe your question is about why does OOo open each document in its own desktop window. If when you say "more like a word processor" you mean the Micro$oft Multiple Document Interface (MDI) wherein each document is opened within one Word Processor desktop window, I read once that such an interface is in work.

It is probably worth mentioning that the ONLY browser in common use that opens each page in a new desktop window is Internet Explorer. Every other browser I work with* uses a tabbed page interface. A much higher percentage of OOo users - the contributors to this list - when compared to the general population of computer users, employ browsers other than MSIE which is why your comparison didn't resonate.

No.  What I mean is, it opens documents like each one is a new

more like a word processor?

each document instead of having multiple documents open within one
window, but each document is a complete, seperate entity. It is very
like Microsoft Word 2000 in this respect.

Does that make sense and answer your question?

Paul was answering my question about if I downloaded the correct
java (offline or online). My actual question is, is open office an
online software. My documents are each like a webpage instead of
templates within the word processing. Is this normal?
