I have this one downloaded now. I found instructions to install it so that all user's can use it. It does say though, that if you make it your default office program, it is then later nearly impossible to change your mind! Wondering if I choose to not make it my default, if that is possible, since, there isn't another program on here. Costco had a student edition for sale of microsoft office - for somewhere a little over $100.00 I think. I may have to check that out. This sure gets more complicated !

Run the stable 1.1.2 instead. Click the Download tab on that page instead and click on the first link in the list, "Latest Stable Release: OpenOffice.org 1.1.2 (all available languages)". fill in the coeerct responses in the blue box and download the 1.1.2 version. Install directions are the same.
