Wait till about 16th (ish) of September and OpenOffice 3 should be out.

If I remember correctly Lotus Symphony is already based on code older than the OO 2.4x code, so when OO3 comes out the difference should be even greater.

plus never click download. It could point to an .exe file that could corrupt ya system. Only trust madmuppet for ya latest downloads!!!:T Not poor imitations with no download system requirements HTH

Going to be tricky getting it to work if you don't click download.

Oh right sorry I get you now you meant don't click download on your 'unverified' links as it could corrupt your system with spyware & viruses as its not from an official source.

Sorry my bad there.
