]I am anxious to adopt Open Office on my new Vista computer to avoid the usurious fees of Microsoft Office. I admire the scope of OO but find it pretty user unfriendly. I downloaded OO.2 3.org but had to dredge around to find executeables and eventually found soffice.exe. Who knew openoffice began with S? It did not appear on my start menu until I pinned it there myself. The window it presents did not appear to offer clues to other components but I did eventually discover that loading an Excel spreadsheet would take me to calc. Following your advice I see that "new" will take me there too.
Thanks for your advice.

How do I access calc? Is it part of open office? Should I download some thing more?



Judging from your question, I'd assume you're running a Mac. All of OpenOffice is installed on the Mac, but only an icon for Writer appears. You can open Writer and create whatever document type you wish. Just click on File > New and make your selection.

Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org>
