To begin using OpenOffice, you first need to install it on your computer. The initial step after downloading the installation file is to locate and run that file to launch the setup program.
Locating and Launching the Installer
After you have successfully downloaded the OpenOffice.org installation file, the next step is to navigate to the OpenOffice.org file you downloaded. You can do this using your operating system's file manager, such as Windows Explorer, or through the download manager of your web browser (like Mozilla/Netscape's Download Manager mentioned in the reference).
Steps to Launch the Installer:
-
Find the File: Locate the downloaded OpenOffice.org installation file on your computer. This file is typically found in your default "Downloads" folder unless you specified a different location.
-
Execute the Program: Once you have found the file, you need to execute it to start the installation.
- If you are using Windows Explorer, simply double-click on the OpenOffice.org file to launch the Installation program.
- If you used a Download Manager like Mozilla/Netscape's, there is often an option within the manager itself to open or run the downloaded file directly.
Executing this file will begin the setup wizard, which will guide you through the rest of the installation process for OpenOffice.
