Gentlemen,
Yesterday I installed your softwear and now have, on my desktop, a folder "Open Office.org 2.3 Installation Files". When opening said folder I find ten files, including two "readmes". I also registered and completed a never-ending survey document on line.
Please bear with me a moment .................. I am NOT (regrettably) a young modern "techy" type IT nerd, but rather an old and very old fashioned "has been" who's knowledge of IT could easily fit on a postage stamp. All I wish to do is to write innumerable "dissertations", stories and whatever, and maintain various financial and other worksheets for subsequent reference, reading, printing or e-mailing.
So, how do I now interpret these ten files and,more to the point, how do I give myself ready and quick access to your equivalent of Word and Excel so that I can try them both out and even let you know how I got on with them?
I might add that I have not uninstalled anything yet and your Installation FAQ was of no help - "currently being edited" ! Additionally, I could not send this to you via your webb site as it automatically directs messages via my Outlook Express which I seem to have totally corrupted some while ago and now use Live Messenger on line instead.
Hoping you will bear with me and reply in due course.
Gil Rogers.

Assuming the install completed, there should be an OpenOffice folder and
icons in your Start menu. You use those icons to start the various
OpenOffice components. If you can do that, then OpenOffice is installed
and you can delete that folder on your desktop.
