Thank you for your response.

I am attempting to upgrade my 3.1.1.version of Open Office on my old computer using Windows XP.

Yes I`m using website as shown below. When I click on site I`m asked to fill in 3 boxes namely favourite operating system, language, and version. Clicking on these options produces nil information. I then click on "Download full installation" and connected to Sourceforge site and then message appears stating " We were unable to return you to sourceforge.net. Internet Explorer has stopped trying to restore this website. It appears that the website continues to have a problem. Another message appears stating that Internet Explorer attempts to restore site and it stops after 2 attempts to avoid and endless loop

Thank you,

Colin Hambidge

Security will ignore the issue of a site certificate. The security list is for vulnerabilities identified in the software.

Is the download of version 4.1.1 being obtained via <http://www.openoffice.org/download/>? This should not present any security warning.

Please confirm which machine the download is being attempted on. Also, what browser is being used on that machine.

PS: Please reply to the list. It is important to have other experts be able to follow the problem and for the community to know what solutions work.

I am currently planning to close down this computer (using Windows XP)
which is running on Open Office version 3.1.1 but I can only close this
after I`ve transferred a 30 page important document to my new computer.

My new computer is an Imac. I`ve attempted to transfer this document as an
Email attachment and although the document is transferred the format has
changed and lines are jumbled up and it appears as one long document and
not separated into its 30 pages.


Which software did you use when viewing them?
Did you make sure that every font used in your document is installed in you
new computer? If not, another font may be used in its place, which could
mess things up a little, such as where pages begin and end.


On speaking to computer boffins I have been advised to download Apache
OpenOffice and this should cure the problem.  But as latest version is
4.1.1.

(1) Will  there be any conflict between document generated using version
3.1.1 and the receiving computer using 4.1.1 ?


There shouldn't be, as far as I noticed.



(2) Will this solve my problem?


I guess it likely will.



(3) I have attempted several times to download version 4.1.1 on this
computer


Which one is ”this computer”? The old one or the new one?


but I keep receiving Microsoft warning messages


Ah, the old one, right? I can't imagine why an iMac would throw up
Microsoft warning messages… :P


stating that there is something wrong with your webite`s security
certificate and won`t let me proceed to website to download the update.


Did you try to download with a proper web browser?


I have sent a separate email concerning this to your security Email
address (secur...@apache.org)

Please HELP!!

Thank you,

Colin Hambidge
