Re: Please advise
Please always provide version of your specific operating system and the specific version of Open Office you are using whenever posting a question. The software for this message board strips off all attachments. Thus, the copy of your file which you attached has never and will never appear here. What file extension is on the file you are sending to your friend. Is it, for example .odt or .doc or .docx or .rtf or .txt or whatever? The issue may be that your correspondent's system is unable to open and read the file format which you are sending. Did you initially save the document with a password on your system. AFIK, that is the only way to protect a document within OO. If you did initially save the document with a password, use the password, open the document, and resave the document without a password. Detailed instructions on how to do that are contained in the Help File for OO on your computer. Press the F1 key to go to the help file. A copy of the specific entry for protecting / unprotecting documents in OO follows: Protecting All Documents When Saving All documents that are saved in OpenDocument format vnd.sun.star.help://shared/text/shared/00/0021.xhp?Language=en-USSystem=WINUseDB=noDbPAR=swriter can be saved with a password. Documents that are saved with a password cannot be opened without the password. The content is secured so that it cannot be read with an external editor. This applies to content, graphics and OLE objects. Turning on protection Choose *File - Save As* and mark the *Save with password* check box. Save the document. Turning off protection Open the document, entering the correct password. Choose *File - Save As* and clear the *Save with password* check box. As a courtesy, I am sending you a copy of this response directly to your E mail account. If you have additional questions, please continue to post those on the users site. Please do not E mail me directly as I will not respond. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Re: Open office on my Mac Air
Download it from SourceForge, and ONLY from sourceforge. Don’t click on any “Download” buttons; your download will begin automatically. When the d/l is complete..install it and run it. Copy it as many times as you like and distribute it to friends and colleagues. The cost will depend on how much you charge per hour for your work, how much your electricity costs, and how much your ISP charges for data. Seriously, it’s free. There are no charges for the software. So don’t pay anyone. I apologize if this sounds patronizing, but there are crooks in this world who offer open source software like OpenOffice, load it with their crapware, and then sell it. If you follow the instructions above, you won’t have that problem. I’m not noted for my pedagogy, so if the instructions aren’t clear enough, ask again here.

Re: Open office on my Mac Air
As Mr. Knott said below, www.openoffice.org is the URL. But that one redirects you to SourceForge’s download page for OpenOffice. Once you choose your OS, the download starts automatically. Jim.
