Thanks all very much.
Your answers omit to say you should log-in first before the DOWNLOAD may
start.
There are no login requirements for downloading Apache
OpenOffice from the official Website.
Make sure you are accessing the OFFICIAL download page for
Apache OpenOffice, at
<http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html>, and not some
other (similarly named) software.
Let us know how you go!

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. It is all quite smarmy and an ugly example of the
mercantile
spirit that was once confined to matchbook covers and the back pages
of
comic books.
