I think there may have been some web
site problems that impacted you.
Usually the three options are filled in automatically based
on what is
Detected from your browser.
What version of Internet Explorer are you running on Windows
XP?

Thank you for your response.
I am attempting to upgrade my 3.1.1.version of Open Office
on my old
computer using Windows XP.
Yes I`m using website as shown below. When I click on site
I`m asked to fill
in 3 boxes namely favourite operating system, language, and
version.
Clicking on these options produces nil information. I then
click on
"Download full installation" and connected to
Sourceforge site and then
message appears stating
" We were unable to return you to sourceforge.net. Internet
Explorer has
stopped trying to restore this website. It appears that the
website
continues to have a problem. Another message appears stating
that Internet
Explorer attempts to restore site and it stops after 2
attempts to avoid and
endless loop
Thank you,
Colin Hambidge

Security will ignore the issue of a site certificate.
The security list is
for vulnerabilities identified in the software.
Is the download of version 4.1.1 being obtained via
<http://www.openoffice.org/download/>? This
should not present any security
warning.
Please confirm which machine the download is being attempted
on. Also, what
browser is being used on that machine.

PS: Please reply to the list. It is important to have
other experts be able
to follow the problem and for the community to know what
solutions work.

Which software did you use when viewing them?
Did you make sure that every font used in your document is
installed in you
new computer? If not, another font may be used in its place,
which could
mess things up a little, such as where pages begin and end.

Ah, the old one, right? I can't imagine why an iMac would
throw up
Microsoft warning messages… :P

LibreOffice has a rudimentary PUB support.

OpenOffice is not a clone of MS Office, nor a universal file opening program, so one should not expect it to open a proprietary format such as .pub. If you have access to the original MS Publisher program, I understand that one can optionally export from that in .doc format, which can be opened by OpenOffice. One might also try the online service of
www.zamzar.com
which offers many conversion formats. If they cannot convert direct from .pub to .odt, they probably can convert from .pub to .doc, which format OpenOffice can read. Be aware that whatever conversion is used, a certain amount of adjustment may be needed to the converted file.
