As it is now I can't open either of these, it always wants to instrall "Windows Installer". I don't know how to use the free version that I did download. All I got was an icon on my desktop, & still can't open these files when sent to me. Have I not done something right in the downloading? Can you advise, please? Thank [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jody After you download that file, you have to double click on it to start the installer.  You'll be taken through as series of panels, where you can usually choose the default values.  After the installation is complete, you should have an OPenOffice folder & icons in your Start menu, which you can use to start the various applications.  You should also be able then, to open those email attachments you have. If you have further questions, please reply only to the list (users@openoffice.org) and not directly to me. --
