Cris-
Go to the first link: <http://www.openoffice.org/>, then click the
highlighted 'Download in the upper left corner, right under
"OpenOffice.org 1.1.3rc". This will take you to a page listing mirrors.
Pick one that has 3 stars (better download rate), like the Australian
site on the Pacific Internet, either the HTTP or FTP.
When you click on that link, you'll see a list of files to download.
The one for Windows is all the way at the bottom.
OOo_1.1.3rc_Win32Intel_install.exe
After the version number OOo_1.1.3rc is the release date 040916 .
Then the platform Win32Intel , followed by the language if not English:
ja for Japanese, it for Italian, de for German, etc. and then the type
of file. *.exe for Windows executable, *.zip for a compressed zip file,
and *.tar.gz for a gzipped tarball.
Download the file and then run (double click) it. It will decompress
into a directory. Go to that directory and find theSETUP_GUIDE.pdf and
read that, then find the setup.exe file and run it. That will install
OpenOffice. I highly recommend OOo. I use it and don't even have MS
Office loaded on any of my machines anymore; I just don't need it.
Yes, you had the right file. The others have more because there are
more libraries to go with the Linux versions.
