By company website I assume you mean www.openoffice.org ... If so, then the correct version for your Operating System should have been downloaded... If it is now just the icons that are bothering you, just delete them (especially since you have uninstalled from the control panel already). If however the icons relate to files that you may need in the future - then only delete after you have re-checked this. The actual format of the file that you sent the 'local office' would need to be advised to try and sort out what went wrong with that. Let the list know (users@openoffice.org) if you have any further queries.... /paul -- For those in NZ that want cheaper petrol - have a look here http://www.thecheappetrolproject.co.nz/index.php
