Yep, it simply refuses to download.
Is eventually asks for the platform which does NOT offer Vista.
So I took XP Pro.
I get a '1211370052556-integrated' button on my desktop.
When I click on the Sun (tm) button the download manager appears with
the odp-1.2-bin-windows-en-US.exe of 33858KB
Response is Download Failed.

You don't have to use the download manager. What happens if you just click on the file link? Also, a couple of days ago, someone else provided a link to the file. Did you try that? I've included it again, in case you missed it. What happens if you use the link?

I can download the rest, but NOT the actual plugin ....

Are you saying it actually refused to download?

According to the specs, it's supposed to support Vista.

Hi James,

We tried to download the plug-in. But it asks what platform, and VISTA
does not appear - only XP.
What do we do?

I don't know why the different versions, as they didn't have them before.
 I'd say try the XP version and see what happens.

Should they ALSO download OpenOffice, or can they use their MS Office?

OpenOffice, by default, saves in the ISO standard ODF formats, which
Microsoft refuses to support.  There are a few ways around this.  One
is
to
save your file in Word format.  You can do this in Save as, by
selecting
the
appropriate format from the drop down list.  Also, ensure automatic
file
name extension is selected.  You can also send directly from
OpenOffice,
by
clicking on File > Send > E-mail as Microsoft Word.  Of course, the
best
method would be to have them install OpenOffice or, failing that, the
Sun
ODF plugin, which adds ODF support to Microsoft Office.
