You probably need to un-hide the Administrator account (probably it doesn't have a password...) https://techjourney.net/unhide-the-administrator-account-in-windows-xp/ Then you can log in as the Admin and install LibreOffice from this account (or change your account to admin) Susan Mason wrote > My other question is...how can I reset the distance that objects will move > when I press the space bar?

The Open Source equivalent to Publisher is Scribus http://www.scribus.net/ -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/I-just-downloaded-Libre-Office-last-night-and-I-have-a-couple-of-questions-tp4166387p4166391.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
