To whom it may concern:
I have downloaded open office, bu have been unable to extract the
file and install the program. The icon appears on my desktop as
OOo_2_1_. When I click on the icon, it sais "windows can not open
this file" "To open this file windows needs to know what program
created it" It then sais it will go to the web to find the program,
and from there nothing happens. How do I install the downloaded
software.
Thak you for your time,
Eric
Seems to me that you have either downloaded the wrong file or the
download process has terminated prematurely. Assuming you are
downloading the US English version of OpenOffice 2.1 for Windows, the
file you should get is named
"OOo_2.1.0_Win32Intel_install_en-US.exe" and, as its name implies, is an
EXEcutable program which you run to install OpenOffice.
The French version is named "OOo_2.1.0_Win32Intel_install_fr.exe". ("fr"
for French in place of "en-US" for English US).
Any version you download for Windows will have the ".exe" extension
which all Windows systems immediately recognise and know how to handle.
By the way, all the people who may respond to you, including me, are
volunteers supporting OpenOffice in our spare time. Without pay ;-)
