Let me see if I got this right. When I went to the OOo web site,
it took five clicks to begin the downloading process. That does not
seem excessive to me, but that is only my personal opinion. But since
I have used OOo for several versions, perhaps I understand better the
reason for each one of these clicks.
Most viruses are macros. For that reason, OOo checks every
document it opens for macros. A warning box pops up if there is one.
That is when you are given a choice as to whether you want to permit
the macro to run or not. This is strictly for your protection. It can
be annoying. But I would rather have to click the warning box to run
a macro I want than to have a malicious macro run and create havoc to
my computer files. It is an extra measure of security. There is a
small checkbox in the warning box will allow you to not show this
warning box again. Check that box, and it ends these warnings.
When I look at my copy of OOo, I find
File > Send > Email as Microsoft Word. This allows me to send an email
to someone directly from OOo in MS Word format. Did you miss this
feature?
Is it possible that you thought OOo would work just like MS
Office? This could definitely lead to frustration as there are some
differences. In fact, there is an entire guide written on how to
migrate from MS Office to OOo.
