I downloaded OpenOffice.org2.0. When I downloaded it from Download.com it
stated Windows 95 was a proper requirement, (what I have). When I got to
OpenOffice.org site it stated Windows 98 and up.
Openoffice 2.0 will not run on Windows 95.
You can download Openoffice 1.1.5 from here:
http://download.openoffice.org/1.1.5/index.html
It doesn't has all the features of the newer versions, but will run on
Windows 95 machines.
I am new to the computer so I'm not very informed about these things, I'm
trying to teach myself, but when I got to the site I was expecting to see things
like Word or Exel and programs like that but instead I am in a project that I
don't understand! Can you tell me if I am in the right place?
Yes. Openoffice is both, an office suite (a program that is similar to
Word and Excel) and an "open source" project.
The project builds the programs. Lots of people, organizations and
companies get together on the project to build the application. Computer
programs are build from something called "source code". It's kind like
the plans of a plane or a video card. Today, software is developed in
two ways, closed-source software, where that "source code" is keep
secret and owned by some organization, and open-source, where the
"source code" is public. Openoffice is in the later, while Word is the
former.
When I finished the download the Wizard installed it, is it completed or do I
have to do something else?
It's complete.
Javier.
