When you start at <http://openoffice.org> and get to the page, <http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html>, make sure the settings there are appropriate for your computer.
After you click "Download full installation" DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING MORE. There are ads on the next page that invite your downloading of other software, and they are confusing. DON'T TOUCH THOSE. What you want to read is in the fine print near the Apache OpenOffice symbol and title. If you just wait, the download will start and you will be asked what to do with it (depending on the browser and computer you are using). If the download does not just start after a brief time, follow the barely visible "Problems with the download? ..." message. The embarrassing icky-ness of the advertising-based download buttons in various guises is something that we seem unable to explain to the Source- Forge folks. It is all quite smarmy and an ugly example of the mercantile spirit that was once confined to matchbook covers and the back pages of comic books. -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Gordon [mailto:jeffando...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2015 07:41 To: users@openoffice.apache.org Subject: Trying to update, I have 4.1.0 and I am trying to download 4.1.1 EVERY time I click on the DOWNLOAD button I am taken to the site FREE FILE OPENER.
