Re: Trying to update, I have 4.1.0 and I am trying to download 4.1.1
Sorry, got it wrong. The site did not start downloading when I opened the site, it did start when I logged on. Tried it again, without logging on and the programme is downloading.

Thanks all very much. Your answers omit to say you should log-in first before the DOWNLOAD may start. Jeff Gordon On 14 January 2015 at 17:52, Dennis E.

RE: Trying to update, I have 4.1.0 and I am trying to download 4.1.1
When you start at <http://openoffice.org> and get to the page, <http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html>, make sure the settings there are appropriate for your computer. After you click "Download full installation" DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING MORE. There are ads on the next page that invite your downloading of other software, and they are confusing. DON'T TOUCH THOSE. What you want to read is in the fine print near the Apache OpenOffice symbol and title. If you just wait, the download will start and you will be asked what to do with it (depending on the browser and computer you are using). If the download does not just start after a brief time, follow the barely visible "Problems with the download? ..." message. The embarrassing icky-ness of the advertising-based download buttons in various guises is something that we seem unable to explain to the Source- Forge folks.

Your download will start automatically in about five seconds, with no need to click on anything else.
