I have just subscribe to Open Office as "richard_dumas" and read the several replies on this thread. What I meant to explain was, I have the french OpenOffice installed on my computer, that is to say that the drop down menus are in french, the "help" files are in french etc.... What I was trying to do was; I wanted to install the english version, that is to say, the drop down menus in english, the help files in english. When I tried to install the downloaded english version, the installer informed me that the software was already installed. My problem is that 1/2 of the household don't understand french drop down menus and I was trying to have both version installed on my computer. Is it possible to have both version installed at the same time? Last question; How do you reply to a given tread in the [EMAIL PROTECTED] I searched the page and I could not find the "reply" button.
