James, OK, thank you, that explains alot and I was not aware they were not allowed to make those charges. I should have taken a closer look. I will wait till my VISA statement comes in and see what I can do. Thanks again for your help. A friend had recommended this program for a new computer I bought just recently. Unfortunately, this compaq has Vista and I didn't realize what a pain in the ass it was. After I downloaded the openoffice, I was not able to open it, so I'll have to contact your support department and get help. I'm much more intelligent than this email points out, but am feeling a bit on the foolish side at this particular moment. I will try to let you know the outcome so you can pass it on to your future customers.
