Thank you for your time and information. When I wrote that "I am an old
(very old) beginner" it meant that next month I shall start my 88th year so
in my creaky mind, when you wrote "Use this key combination......" my first
question was "Where ?"
What should I have on the window when I do that?
I tried a couple of ways (as I did with the other two suggestions) but I am
always in fear of really messing things up.
I gave up and to save space I deleted Open Office
altogether. But I miss it and I reinstalled it again today on the chance
that the first time, I did something wrong but again, there is no window for
letter writing. If this is a bother to you, please disregard my whining.
Incidentally, your first sentence to me referred to a phone company punch
card. I am on cable so I did not know what you meant. Anyhow, HAPPY NEW

I just installed Open office (I THINK) but I do not have a "page"

statement it is because I am an old (very old) beginner and do not
speak computer language.
I installed it once before with no problem and a few months later I
had a big virus that put me through the AGONY of a reinstallation.
Lucky I din't have an axe handy. This time I must have done
something wrong but what?
Thanks a million!
So you also remember the computer punch card from the phone
company.
Assuming you have OpenOffice.org (OOo) installed and running, use
this key combination: Control and n (that is the Ctrl key and the n
key). This should open an untitled file so that you can type a
letter.
There are two other ways to do this.
1) File > New > Text document, or
2) Click the down arrowhead on the left icon below the word File at
the top.
