Deborah,
Open Office is indeed awesome. Depending on what you currently do in
Publisher either Write or Draw may work for you. However, I don't believe
Open Office is an exact replacement for Publisher. You'll have to play
with it and see if it works for you, and if you run into problems or
questions definately post them to this list.
Regarding the download. If you're using broadband (DSL or Cable) then it
should download without problems. If you're using a dial-up connection,
you may want to ask someone with a broadband connection to download it for
you. If you don't have someone who can do that, there are links to
download managers at http://download.openoffice.org/index.html. A download
manager will help you not get a corrupted download.
One suggestion, if you have anti-virus or popup blocking software disable
it during the install. Sometimes they'll conflict.
I hope OpenOffice works for you!

I really liked using Publisher, and my computer "guru" says this new
open office is great, so could you help me download and use it
successfully?
Thanks! Deborah
