If you download from http://www.openoffice.org/download then you will
be OK. But be careful about downloading from other websites, since
some of them do bundle adware with the installs. I wrote a blog post
on this issue a while back:

Apache OpenOffice can coexist on the same machine as Microsoft Office.
But if you run in this configuration you should know that only one
application can be the default handler for the doc, xls and ppt file
extensions. So you'll need to decide which app, MS Office or
OpenOffice you want to open these files when you double-click on a
document on the desktop. Watch for this question during the
OpenOffice install.
Note: if you change your mind you can always right click on the file
and choose "Open with..."

The OpenOffice install does not touch your MS Office files. If you
want to uninstall MS Office then you will need to do that through
normal means, via the Control Panel.

The required settings are by three little icons on bottom right hand corner of OpenOffice window, on the Status bar. If they are not there, you need to enable the Status Bar with /View /Status bar. I think the icons will need no explanation.

Hello and thank you for your reply!
I am not creating a list. It is a text document. I do not want to see
pages side-by-side. I want only to see one page at a time as I create a
3-4 page document.
I do not understand how to change the settings in order for only one
page to display as I type. That used to be the common display. Now
both MS Word and now Open office think I want to see my document as a
book or as pairs of pages across from each other on my screen.
I am attaching a sample. It may be in the PC settings, but I can't open
a document in Open Office that just shows one page as I create a 3-4
page document.
Thanks!

For my scheme to work, each list entry (the name, that is) needs to be on a
line by itself.
If you'd like to send a sample (one of your lists, for example, assuming
they are all in the same general format), I'd be happy to try to help.

Try this (assuming that any "trailing" info is separated from the actual
biographical entry by a TAB):
As with any "new to you" facility, work with a COPY (not your master file).
Combine the lists (open the first one, then open the 2nd and copy/paste it
at the end of the 1st, then open the 3rd and copy/paste it to the 1st, etc.
Then select the entire (combined) list and click TABLES. Unclick MAKE ALL
COLUMNS THE SAME WIDTH (or words to that effect). Click the box that tells
the program about the TAB separator. Then click to build the table. Then
select the entire table and click TABLE, then the SORT tab. If the
resulting formatting pleases you, you're done. You'll probably want to
experiment with TABLE/PROPERTIES to keep text for entries on the same page,
etc. If you prefer that the list NOT be in a table, select the entire
table, go to TABLE and click CONVERT again but this time use the TABLE TO
TEXT option.
This works well for me. Good luck.

Hello,
I have four bibliographical lists, each has 10-15 pages. In some of the
lists there exists duplicates bibliographies to be canceled when one list
would be crested.
The lists are organized in alphabetical order.
I wish to create one bibliographical list, containing all the four together

Is this is possible in OO 3.4.1
I am on Mac, with OSX 10.8.2, but I assume it doesn't matter in regards to

Hi Wayne: Just chiming in here: Been using OO for years. No ads, no
frill, no junk. MS, if anything, is the culprit if and when you
encounter problems. These are rare and when you doencounter them you can
simply delete your user prefs file in your OO programs file (search for
this on the user panels). MS stays on the system. But MS is getting
more and more tyrannical with third party. I believe there several
class action lawsuits pending or beginning due to Gate's desire to rule
the digital world. Even now I can hardly install ANYapplication, even
those vetted by MS, in Win 7. I won't dare deal with Win 8.
Use the user panels. OO is a robust, better, ethical, iconic package.
I require my students to use it so that they can save 100s of dollars on
the mafia MS.
Any MS lovers here, get over it. Really.
Lumina Foundation is a joke.
And don't get me started on any other unfounding foundation Gates, et.
al. have.
Go with the underdog.
Look atthe ridiculous commitment and diligence, and yes, integrity of
all us.
