Anna To help you best, we need to know what operating system you are using (Mac, PC with Win XP, PC with other Windows, PC with Linux, what?). Which version of OOo -- 1.1.4, 1.9.77, etc --are you trying to install?
I would encourage you not to give up so easily. The people on this list have been wonderfully helpful to me.

I was trying to install OpenOfice. When I came to page 2 of the instructions, I did not know what was meant by "using a compression utility." I also did not know what was meant by "extracting all the files into a separate directory on my hard drive." I tried clicking a few things. I may have been able to extract all of the files. I do not know what I clicked or did. I got stuck. I didn't know how to proceed with the installation. I never did see anything labelled "setup.exe." At one point, a message popped up very briefly, indicating something about programs now being installed and to not uninstall them. I did not know if my computer was telling me that or if that message was from OpenOffice. I was afraid to uninstall anything. After going to Start, then Programs, I did not find anything named OpenOffice listed in my list of programs. I am stuck in the installation process. By now, I just want to get it off of my computer without any damage. Please tell me how. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
