Thank you, the problem was solved - my stupidity - I found everything. I had just been looking for the wrong names/descriptions. Question, does your software extend to Outlook or similar email handling software? Thanks, Rosemarie Kelling

Installation is a 3 step process: 1. Download the installer program 2. Run the installer program. This will create a folder containing folders and files one of which is "setup.exe". 3. Run "setup.exe". Normally you *don't* have to do this yourself because it happens automatically when #2 is finished. This step then creates a folder, typically in the C:\Program Files\... path, which contains the actual software. This step also creates entries in your Start>All Programs menu from where you can run the individual components - Calc, Writer etc. It typically does *not* create icons on your desktop because the authors believe this is littering. Once this step is complete you can delete the installer from #1 and the folders & files from #2. Depending on how you answered the questions during this (#3) step there might also be an icon in your System Tray (near the clock). This is the Quickstarter. Right click on it to select the type of document you want to create. You can also install the Quickstarter yourself after installation nof the main software. To do this run Writer and go to Tools>Options>OpenOffice.org>Memory. Tick the box labelled "Load OpenOffice.org during system start-up". The Quickstarter icon will appear and will reappear when you reboot the system. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [email protected] Jetzt Mails schnell in einem Vorschaufenster überfliegen.
