I saw an article about libreoffice, a free download. I downloaded it. I
could
not open it. I asked for help, here.


This morning I've received more than a dozen replies. None of them make any
common sense--at all: none address my question. I am not the "Landis"
person.

So I will repeat: I have downloaded LibreOffice. It won't open. How do I
open
it? I have no computer/Internet training.

Thank you.


Wich operative system are you using?
 Windows?
 Linux?
 Mac?

In any case, did you downloaded the LibreOffice installer from
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ ? If you did, then, our answer should
depend on the system are you using.

In the Windows case, I suppose you've dowloaded a file named
LibO_3.3.2_Win_x86_install_multi.exe<http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/3.3.2/win/x86/LibO_3.3.2_Win_x86_install_multi.exe>
,
in that case you must double-click on it and the installer will do all the
work (but you must click "Accept" when the program ask for it).

In the Mac case, i can't answer, i don't know the system.

In the Linux case, i don't think that you are using linux, but... in any
case, i think it's preferible install using the standard way of your system,
the "software center" in Ubuntu, or with other tools in other distributions.

Kind regards.

Why care about an Outlook-like email client? Microsoft Outlook part of
the
MS Office Suite, and the apps have ties into each other. You can do an
email
merge in Word, pulling data from Excel or Access, and it sends using
Outlook. There is also the ability, when in a an Excel or Word doc, to
click
File>Send, and it opens Outlook for you to email the document.

We dropped Outlook for gmail last year, and while we are very happy with
gmail for email, we do miss the suite functionality.

Outlook Express is just a pop client, it has no ties to the Office Suite.

Hello Diane,

I have no idea what this means: "LibreOffice doesn't include an email

would suggest you try out Mozilla Thunderbird instead :-)


Microsoft Outlook / Outlook Express are just email clients. Email
clients
are just programs that you run on your own computer, which download
your
email for you so you can read it. The alternative to using an email
client
is using "webmail" - viewing your email on the web somewhere, like
Hotmail
or Gmail.

So what I was saying was no, LibreOffice does not include an email
"module"
as you called it (it's more accurate to call them applications than
modules).

And I was suggesting that if you want an alternative email client to
any
flavour of Outlook, you could try Thunderbird, which is a widely used,
mature application developed by Mozilla, who also make the Firefox web
browser.

 To get a response to my original question, I enabled MS outlook
Espress.
That
didn't work?


I don't know what you mean here. But in any case, this mailing list is
not
for help with Outlook or general tech support, so if you're having a
problem
with Outlook you'll have to ask elsewhere.

Bests,

Another email client you could try that does support IMAP (Outlook type
email) and POP email is Evolution.
