Correct?

If you've found the location the OpenOffice program has been installed that *is not* what you need to back up!! The letters, spreadsheets, and presentations (the documents) you created with the OpenOffice program are what you need to back up. If you have not changed the default (the preset) location documents are saved then all your documents will be in your "My Documents" folder. If you are uncertain the specific location of your documents do the following... 1. Open one of your documents 2. From the menu select File then Properties 3. On the window that opens look for Location and note the location. 3.1. Location will most likely be in the form C:\Users\Marie\Documents... Once you've identified the location 1. Click the Windows Start menu 2. Click My Computer If the location is similar to 3.1 above 3. Click My Documents in the left side of the My Computer window 4. Copy all the files in the My Documents folder to a thumb drive or other location If you're uncertain about any of this please seek help. It is not OpenOffice that needs to be backed up. It is the files that have been created with it that you need to save.
