Hi Rory
Thank you very much for your help, I'll have another go. I offered to help
Open Office a while ago, I am an ex teacher and author and thought I would
help with keeping wording suitable for non computer literates like myself,
but I am not sufficiently computer literate to be part of the team.
Best wishes to all at Open Office
Alex

Hi
I would like to download the latest update but keep getting other material
to update. I am a silver surfer and would like to download just the latest
Open Office and then be able to add on one at a time. You have me down as
a business – yes, I write books and sell them but I am not a CEO or
anything else and do not earn sufficient to pay tax on it. And I do not
see what it has to do with you and why I have to give this information
before downloading. I would be happy to fill in a questionnaire,
unfortunately I find your attitude very aggressive.
your sincerely Alexandra Stillwell
If you are getting other material, this is because OO is opensource and many
sites manipulate search engines so that they come high on the hit list, and
compile OO with unwanted add-ons or charge for it with spurious offers of
support, or as you are finding have (amongst other things) intrusive
questionaires.
The aggression you report is coming from such a rogue site, which is nothing
to do with the OpenOffice project.
I suggest you remove the existing print of OpenOffice, run indepth Macware
and antivirus scabs, then follow my suggestions below.
OpenOffice should be downloaded _only_ from
http://www.openoffice.org/download
This site will redirect you to a SourceForge site and your download will
start in about five seconds with no need to click on anything else (Do NOT
click on anything else).
One can verify that the downloaded file is as it left the code factory by
the methods described in
http://www.openoffice.org/download/checksums.html
When you install, you will be asked to enter your name and initials. This
is only for internal use on your computer to identify you from other users
on the same computer (such as other family members). This information is not
(repeat: NOT) transmitted outside of your computer.
We recommend downloading only from the above site.
