Hi there,

After downloading openofffice I automatically assumed that I would be able
to open word documents, this appears not the case on my download.

Have I.

1. Taken the wrong option during download OR

and if so.

2. What can I do to enable me to open word documents.


After you download the package, you have to install it, by double clicking on the downloaded file. Did you do this? During the installation process, there's one panel where you're asked if you want OpenOffice to be the default application for Microsoft Office files. Leave the boxes selected. Also, OpenOffice does not yet work with the new Office 2007 file formats, so anyone using it will have to save in an older format, so that you can open the files.
