Firstly, you have sent email to a mail list but are not subscribed to it. There is a high chance of not seeing responses. It looks as though you haven't installed OOo, just downloaded it. When you say you "clicked on writer", it looks as though you're just starting the installation process - it will ask where to unpack the files, and then run a 'setup' program guiding you through the procedure. Accept the defaults; but read and think carefully before answering the part that will ask about what you want to do about opening microsoft (Word, etc) files. Assuming you're running windows, the program will put entries onto your start menu (no desktop shortcuts) to run the various components.
