Thanks for the quick reply. I'll just start over. I have DSL, but my
computer needs a RAM update, and the hour included my interface time.

After devoting about an hour to downloading Open Office, and I'd like to

I finish the process without starting all over? I think the instructions
are not explicit enough. Another question: one window says that
complete installation takes more disk space (than custom installation) -
but how much is that? How can I make a decision without that info? I'm
getting a bad impression of the product already, even tho I really want
to escape Microsoft's clutches!

Downloading and installing OpenOffice is a two step process. First you
download the installer file and then you double click on that file to
start the actual installation. If you aborted the download, it may be
possible to restart, depending on how you were downloading. Also, one
hour is a long time for a broadband connection, but only a fraction of
the time required to download over a dial up modem connection. Which do
you have? I don't know the exact amount of disk space each component
requires, but installing only part of OpenOffice will not save you much
disk space and may reduce functionality.
