Hi,
Firstly, I think OpenOffice is great, at least I will do, once I can use
it! But yes I love the fact that I might not have to give Bill Gates
any more of my money.
I work for a website myself, and the reason I needed to download
OpenOffice is because I don't need to use Word that often, I have a new
laptop (which I bought for work) and only have the trial version of Word
installed. After receiving an e-mail at work, I needed to use a Word
Document for the reply (a company invoice proforma) and realised that I
could only read Word docs and not edit them. I needed to get these
documents e-mailed to our company accountant yerterday, opps! So I
proceeded to click on the pop up that I got from Microsoft to install
the full version before I could edit my document. I was amased to
discover that it was £280! Hence the queest to find an alternative! b
My problem is, I have successfully downloaded the software, but now its
on my desktop, it won't open at all, and there are no error messages. I
use Mozilla Firefox as my Browser, could that be the problem?
Hope to hear from you shortly, as you can appreciate until I can use the
software, I can't keep our company accountant happy, so would be
greatful for a quick response with some suggestions.
Regards,
Julie McKenna
Julie:
First: I'll assume you are in Windows, but you didn't say that. OOo is
cross platform (Mac, Linux, Windows), so it helps to state your
operating system.
You said you downloaded it. What is the name of the file you downloaded?
If you are in windows, it should be: OOo_2.0.0_Win32Intel_install.exe or
OOo_2.0.0_Win32Intel_install_wjre.exe
If you tried to open it (by double clicking it) and you got no error
messaged, then maybe the download is corrupted. Please follow the
instructions here to check your download:
http://download.openoffice.org/2.0.0/md5sums.html
Firefox is definitely not the problem here.
Let us know if you still encounter difficulties.
