There should be an OpenOffice folder and icons in your Start menu. Those icons can be used to start the word processor (Writer), spread sheet (Calc) etc. You can create a shortcut for any of them, as you would any other icon in the start menu. Those checks are simply to tell Windows which is the default application for opening Microsoft Office files. It sets the file associations and they can easily changed at another time. You don't have to register, if you don't want to. Just select "Already registered". Donations to OpenOffice are entirely optional. It's up to you to decide if you wish to donate some money and how much. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
