 Hi Martin,
It seems you have gone to some trouble to help me, but I don't know how to access the download.
Your first message was about that OO does not recognize your printer this suggest that OpenOffice was working.
I clicked on it, and was told I had to open another application to view it and I don't understand all the options.
When you download OpenOffice it ask where you want to save the download, by default it saves it on your desktop In my case the file name is: Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.1_Win_x86_install_en-US.exe but can be different based
on your Operating System.
If you double click on that file it start the installation process.

Couldn't you just copy and paste some directions, or let me call you? I did put in my first sentence that I am NOT computer savvy and need step by step help.

I appreciate the help,but you've left me stranded here..! I don't even know what OP means in the first of your 2 emails.
OP stand for Original Poster (that's you in this case)

        1) I am not computer savvy

    Agreed

        2) I've looked at the website and read thru the suggestions
        given for this
        problem.

    That's a good start

        3) I do not know how to so some of the things suggested.
        Others did not
        work.

    Which suggested things  do you not understand and which didn't work


        4) Can someone email me and actually offer to call me and help
        me on the
        phone, so I can have step by step instructions, while still on
        the phone,
          to try to solve the problem?

    We are also users who volunteer to help to the best of our ability
    via this email address or via the
    OpenOffice Forum website.


        I need help and I do not understand why direct person to
        person help is not
        offered by open office personnel.

    Apache OpenOffice has no personnel all development is done by
    volunteers.


        I don't even know how to find out which version of OO I have.

    Most applications including OpenOffice have a Help and a About
    menu entry, the About menu give you the version.
    Apart from that it is useful if you give us information about your
    Operating System and version.


        Sincerely,
        Barbara
