Not sure where your problem is occurring or level of detail you desire so am writing the whole process and maybe you can decide where the problem is... o Download OpenOffice.org for Windows XP Pro from the below link http://download.openoffice.org/2.3.0/contribute.html?product=OpenOffice.org&os=winwjre&lang=en-US&version=2.3.0 (the file that is downloaded should be named OOo_2.3.0_Win32Intel_install_wJRE_en-US.exe) NOTE: .exe may not appear on the end o after download completes "run" the downloaded file o--- depending on what browser you're using and it's download settings you may see: o--- a message remains after the download completes, click the run button on the message o--- no message remaining after the download completes, find where OOo_2.3.0_Win32Intel_install_wJRE_en-US.exe has been downloaded and double-click that icon after the file has "run"... o click the Windows Start button o select the 'All Programs' menu o select the 'OpenOffice.org 2.3' sub-menu o click on the program you want to use, e.g. 'OpenOffice.org Writer' If the process doesn't happen as described above please indicate where it breaks down, any messages displayed and responses you made to the messages. (in other words the buttons clicked to make them go away) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
