Barbara It may be worth trying to get a computer magazine with Open Office on the cover disc. Please note that open office 2.1 is the latest version
Thanks Rob -----Original Message----- From: melchar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 01 February 2007 08:47 To: [email protected] Subject: [users] [moderated] I -really- TRULY want to use open office! However, I just spent 12 hours totday trying to download the darned thing and my dial-up BOTH times at about the 6-7 hour mark dropped signal and the download stopped. And then would not re-establish the download at where it stopped, so I had to do it all over again. Another 60-odd megs and disconnect. Aggggg! Is there ANY possible way to JUST have a smaller file of only simple word processing with nothing fancy for dial-up users? So I can maybe download it and use the program? I ordered the CD a few months back and it wouldn't work on my laptop. Tried it a couple of times and was told by a chum when it wouldn't work in his machine [or a 2nd laptop I got thereafter] that the CD was bad. [gee thanks] I don't have ANY choice at this point but ordering ANOTHER CD that I -hope- works this time because, even with all the [insert swear swords here] problems I've had with trying to get this program - MS Word is -worse-! And yes, I emailed earlier - and am just really despondant right now.
