Pity nobody answered your first mail... To find the other components, you click on the small triangle next to the Writer icon (New) and select Calc, Draw or whatever. It isn't really intuitive... If you use TimeMachine with your Leopard, you can maybe set the clock back to the first OpenOffice.org installation, that seemed to have worked as expected. I don't understand really why your second (and third...) installation went wrong. I have downloaded several versions, and even have them live next to one another in my Applications map. Maybe cleaning up all things from OOo may prepare for a clean install... Besides the OOo map in Applications, there is also in Library>Application Support a OOo map (you can use Spotlight to find all OOo files on your HD). Throw these away and clean out the trash before trying a new download... -- Guy using dutch OOo 2.3 m221 on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and brazilian OOo SRC 680 m241 on an Intel MacBook Pro Leopard -- please reply only to [email protected] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches
