Installation of Open Office/Re-installation

[Ron Napier <ro...@gmail.com>]

After several attempts to install I discovered news about the spam attack.
So sorry! I would like to re-install. Uninstalled because it would not
open. Please advise.

Normally, OpenOffice not opening on a computer on which it did open earlier indicates that there has been a program or system crash, or perhaps too speedy a close down of the computer (not enough time for write buffers to flush); the normal cure is to start TaskManager, then to kill any soffice processes shown running on TaskManager's Processes tab.
