When I realized that there was an update for OpenOffice 2.1, I went
for it, but found I was beginning to download the entirety of 2.2.1.
This is not the end of the world, but as I am working with dial-up, it
is a major chore.
I am a novice, so it would not surprise me to be told I was missing an
obvious button; nor would I be surprised to be told that the changes
between 2.1 and 2.2.1 are more than a mere patch, and that it is
necessary to start over.
If it is necessary to start over, is it simplest to erase my first
OpenOffice first, or can the new group of files simply overlay the
originals? I am particularly wondering how to avoid needing to
download dictionaries again and again—a hypothetical question at this
point, I have none on board.
As I said, I am a novice, so any help will be welcome, but if I would
more usefully be on another site, tell me.
Thankyou
Brant

As others have said, you need to download the whole thing. However, if
you are on a slow (and possibly expensive and/or unreliable) internet
connection you may want to consider one of the following alternatives:
a) Buy the software on CD. There's a (non exhaustive) list of suppliers
at http://distribution.openoffice.org/cdrom/index.html#cdrom
Please note that we make no recommendations about any of these
suppliers, nor do we give any guarantees. Most suppliers will only
charge a nominal amount to cover th cost of producing the CD plus P&P.
Expect to pay not much more than USD10.00
b) Many computer magazines come with CDs or DVDs with OpenOffice on
them. Just make sure to pick a magazine that is compatible with your
Operating System and whose CD/DVD has on it the version of OO you want.
