for SO 5.1:
a: install a printer called "Laser-writer ntr" and print to file: this
will produce a ghostscript version2 output, which can be read by most
pdf-readers.
b: there are other virtual printers available, which produce pdf
directly. google for pdf-converter.
c: it is possible, to tell SO to save as .doc or other MS-formats. If
your co-workers can't read these, they lack the import-filters for older
word-versions.
for OO, download the newest version, and check the MD5sum (look for this
often occuring problem of incomplete downloads in this list)
greetings,
Heinrich

I have a Star Office 5.1 word processor program which came with my computer
and windows me. some friends have had trouble opening my files, and one
suggested I download Open Office to use it, as that may be easier to share, and
convert to pdf.
I downloaded a version based on what I thought might be the best one of the
locations listed for the U.S. but my computer doesn't open it correctly, and it
is undecipherable. What version should I download? Or should I update my Star
Office? I saw that there are newer versions of that available, but wasn't sure
which to use, and I had trouble finding an e-mail support at the Sun website
that looked appropriate and free to use. I have an e machines e-tower 566i2
with Windows Me
thankyou, Gilbert Santini
