Can't download
I tried all the different links using chrome but the download quickly got
stuck.
So I tried IE. There were no selections under the drop down menus.
Just to let you know.

I am of the opinion that your download of OO might be the problem.
Again, I must ask: show usthe URL from which you downloaded OO.

While waiting for your reply, I downloaded, installed and opened a new OO
doc (Win 7 SP1 on Z390E mobo, 32 RAM and Quad core 3.66 chip)
I went straight to Insert > Picture > From File > and chose a .jpg just as

Everything locked up. The cursor changed to an I beam shape (no hour-glassy
thing) and despite waiting a really long time, nothing happened. All I
could do to get out of it was End Task, and even then it was pretty
stubborn. I gave it a chance to straighten up and fly right before trying
again, this time with a different .jpg in case the image was the problem.
The exact same thing happened.
I'm not quite prepared to give up but when the first thing you try fails
and there are so many cracks for MS Office, *:*) it's tempting. Is this a
known bug? I've attached the images I used in case anyone wants to tinker
with them.
Thanks - rev

Yes you will be able to open them, but with some caveats.
MS has kept modifying their office SW so that many features
they put in the documents will not be rendered correctly by
OO.
OO developers have not kept up with the MS sw modifications
or "enhancements", as they like to call it.
Interestingly enough, such docs you create on OO will be fully
compatible with MS office ware.

JD:
The problem was on my end, I had two wifi cards and they got confused.
Since we're chatting, I've got a couple of questions about Open Office. I
plan to use it in place of MS Office.
Will I be able to open spreadsheets and docs that were created by MS
Office? A better question might be, will I be missing anything or unable to
do anything MS Office can do? I don't use advanced stuff, just normal day
to day use.
Thanks! - rev
