Can someone please give me the link for Open Office?
I Googled it and saw there was 2009 Free from Open Office.com and Download now from Open Office.org and I don't know which one or what is the difference.

Thank you very much but what is the differance?0 -
Openoffice.org is the website of Open Office; openoffice.com is not.
The person who purchased the latter is obviously hoping to profit from the confusion.0 -

Thank you, I downloaded from the site you quoted then tried to install and a message said can not continue because a newer version of Internet Explorer detected. What do I do now?0 -
It appears to be OK now - thanks0

I have that trial version of Office 2007 that I do not use as I now have Open Office - Can someone please tell me if it is OK to remove Office 2007 by using Programs in Control Panel.
Also after downloading Open Office I now see I have a full version of Microsoft Works on the laptop can you please tell me which is the best to use?0 -
Now you have OpenOffice.org, you need neither Microsoft Office nor Microsoft Works. The former - being a trial - will be of very little use to you once it expires, whilst the latter has limited support for non-native file formats.0
