I don't know what you downloaded. In my case (Windows XP, SP2), the name of the file is OOo_2.2.0_Win32Intel_install_wJRE_en-US.exe and all I had to do was to double click it to install OpenOffice.org.
Johnny Andersson 2007/4/16, wilbur blackford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Thank you for your assistance. However, I have a couple of follow-up questions. I tried to download openoffice2.2 and after it was completed I couldn't open it without winzip. Do I have to buy winzip or is there some other way I may open it. Also, you indicated that "OOo will open Lotus .123 extension files and can save in Excel .xls extension file format." Where may I find the OOo? is it part of the 2.2 version? Thanks for all your help.

Very few developers of open source software are prepared to pay the Microsoft tax for their digital certificates. Since millions of Windows users have installed OOo (OpenOffice.org) by ignoring this "M$ warning", with no ill affects, you can confidently do the same. OOo will open Lotus .123 extension files and can save in Excel .xls extension file format. However, I would recommend that you maintain those files in the OOo OpenDocument default format (International Standard ISO/IEC 26300:2006) and only export/save copies in close propriety format when required.
