1.2.1 Getting OpenOffice

• Go to http://www.openoffice.org.
• Click the ``Download'' tab.
• Click ``Latest Stable Release...''
• Select language, operating system and download site.
• Read how you can contribute to a free product! You don't have to send money. Reporting bugs and making suggestions are both good contributions. Spreading the word is another way you can make a difference.
• Click ``Continue to Download''.
• When prompted, select a folder to store the file. Be sure to remember this folder!
• The download size is about 65MB. This means it will take a while to download, even with broadband connection.
• Once downloaded, run the downloaded installation file, and follow the instructions. Accepting defaults should work for most people.
