Can't figure out how to open the dang program. I added to my applications folder, but when I open it, nothing really happens. I right clicked and viewed the content of the folder and found a whole world in there, but still can't seem to find where I open the word editor or spreadsheet editor. Sorry I'm such a newbie!
What you say suggests that you are using a Macintosh, and I see that you sent your e-mail from a Macintosh, so I will assume that to be the case.
There are two versions of OpenOffice.org for the Mac. One is written to use the Unix part of MacOS X; you must install the X11 part of MacOS X from your CD-ROM to use it. (X11 is the part of Unix that does windows and stuff. Since MacOS X has its own Mac-flavored windows, it normally leaves X11 out, since it is only needed to run windowing Unix programs.)
The other is called NeoOffice (or NeoOffice/J). It uses Java to run as a normal MacOS program, and would probably be easier for you to use. See <URL:http://www.neooffice.org>. (Note, however, that it does not, at present, run on Intel Macs, and that, because it is a modified version of the original OpenOffice.org, it is a couple of versions behind.)
The long-term plan is to make a straightforward MacOS ("Cocoa") version; but there are complications.
