Any thoughts you have on this would be greatly appreciated.
You can install OpenOffice on the Windows 98 computer, provided it meets the minimum requirements. You can use a flash drive to copy the installer file to that computer, though a computer that old is likely USB 1.1 which will be slow. If that computer doesn't meet the requirements for version 2.3, you may want to consider v1.1.5, which requires fewer resources. That version can read, but not write the new ODF file formats. Version 2.3 can read & write the old formats, as well as ODF. http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sys_reqs_20.html -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
