Hi James-
Thank you for responding to my dilemma - this ocurred when I installed the
latest version of OpenOffice, is it 2.4, the release without bugs, I
believe.
It is freaky that you have never seen these, but I guess it means that I did
something totally wrong (?) What should it have looked like? I get worried
about installing new programs because in the past I have thought I would
have some intuitive sense.
I have read a lot about OpenOffice and I admire your work and dedication. Do
you think you can help?
I appreciate your time.
I just realized that you have a Mac, which I have no experience with.
Perhaps someone else here can offer you advise.
Yours truly,
Katharine

Hi-
I have just downloaded OpenOffice and am completely overwhelmed by the
amount of data presented to me. Just starting -- there appears to be several
"Start here" or "Read this first" -- "Take this class" titles.
The sensation is of wandering into yet another open source project for
programmers. I tried to read the review or information - I can not tell if
it is written by your group or another. I did not understand 3/4 of the
authors comments.
I have used Office for Mac 2004 for several years and having a new
Macbook with Leopard, know that I need a new system, especially "Word." As a
writer and a regular non-programming woman, I am terrified of trying
OpenOffice. I really can't handle the lack of straightforward directions;
not even a yellow brick road. I do not want to have to look all over to find
the options I need, especially because everything is obviously unfamiliar.
Hoping this feedback is helpful to you,
I have never seen those titles you're referring to. Did they appear when
you installed OpenOffice? Did you get it from www.openoffice.org? Or from
somewhere else?
