If JustZipIt unzipped it without error messages then d/l ZIP file
is most probably correct. (I don't use Just Zip It - I think that it is
first time read about it). But in my version setup file is setup.exe
not install. Are You sure that You downloaded it from right place?
try another site thought http://www.openoffice.org
I have used OO years, even when it was StarOffice. I need
it for making small booklets and OO has page styles what MS
Word lacks.
