hi fran
i suggest you do the following:
1. insert the CD
2. go to Start - Programs - Accessories - Explorer
3. on the left, click on the letter of the CD-drive, say D:\, to open the contents of the CD
4. in the folders you'll find on the CD, find a file named OOo1.1.x_WinIntel_install.exe (or similar) and double-click it.
this will run the installation program, where you'll have to select a folder to install the program to (you can leave the default) and a couple of other things.
5. when installation completes, go to C:\Program files\OpenOffice.org1.1.x\ folder and find soffice.exe. double-click it, to run OOo for the first time.
6. now you can safely remove the CD from the drive.

My husband ordered the openoffice CD, and I can't make it work. We have a Dell with Windows XP. When I found the add programs part of the control panel and put in the CD, the same page comes up as without the control panel. It says "windows users click here", but nothing happens.
What's the secret?
