See <http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sys_reqs_20.html> > 2. How much will it cost the member to download the Excel > spreadsheet or 'Office Suite'? Do I have to be a member of Open > Office in order to receive the download? OpenOffice.org is a multiplatform and multilingual office suite and an open-source project. Compatible with all other major office suites, the product is free to download, use, and distribute. You do not have to be a member of anything to download the program. > 3.

If you have any of the MS Office programs on your computer, you need to read the setup guide before installing OOo on that computer. Even then, it is only a problem of file associations. > 4. What kind of support do you provide? See <http://support.openoffice.org/index.html> for all of the support available. Some is free, and others have a fee. There are also a User Guide and individual component guides available at http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals. > Tawy Muehe > Membership Chairperson > Galveston Bay Area Chapter > Texas Master Naturalist - (Non Profit Org) > Dan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
