what to download to install open office for multiple users on a
single server on lan..
I want to install open office on a network server that supports 10
monitors. All the monitors are connected to the single server and none of
the monitor has any cpu. They are connected using N-Computing x550. How do
i install open office so that it opens on all the monitors at the same time
without any errors.

You make a normal installation on the central PC. OpenOffice can be used
by different users at the same time. Important is, that these users have
different home directories. OpenOffice uses the variable $SYSUSERCONFIG
and creates for each user an own directory containing personal settings
when the user starts OpenOffice the first time.
If this mechanism to detect the home directory of the user does not work
in your configuration, you can manually provide an own space for each
user. Ask again if you need that.
You can install OpenOffice on the server and try it. The installation is
needed anyway.
Kind regards
Regina

Thank you, Regina. That is an important distinction - I always think (for whatever reason) of multiple users trying to access the same document, which is the case where only the first User has edit rights.

OpenOffice can serve multiple users at the same time. Only a document
can only be edited by one user. If the users work on different documents
there are no problems in access rights.

What monitors an application opens on is a function of the operating system and perhaps also of the monitor sharing application. Be advised that, although you may be able to cause OpenOffice to open on the ten monitors, only one will have editing rights - OpenOffice is not a multiuser application.
