  Mike, I went to Java.com and the material stated that Java version 1.5.0 was 
the correct one for Windows ME.  I downloaded that version to a flash drive.  
The installation information, however, stated that the computer would have to 
be connected to the I-net in order to be installed.  I left a message on the 
feedback venue asking how to handle that problem.  Thanks for your help and 
interest.

Correction - i suddenly realised, Windows ME as an update of Windows 98
is no longer supported in the latest release. 
http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sys_reqs_30.html

Maintained legacy versions of OO.o complete with JRE are available for
download.

I am a OO user that downloaded OO.  Later a message was received that I would 
need to
download Java Runtime (JRE) in order to accomplish some OO functions.
 
The OO download was directed to a CD and then installed onto the ACER laptop (w 
XP)
which is used for all Internet activities.  When Java was downloaded it was 
downloaded directly to the hard drive.
 
OO was then installed from the CD to an older computer with ME operating 
system.  
It is a desktop with a large screen and I prefer to work on it because of ease 
of use.
 
The problem.  As I do not have Java on the computer, I am unable to use Base.  
Any 
suggestions  on how to put Java on the ME operating system computer???
