Subject:	SCOUG-Help: register OpenOffice114...How to...?

Content Type: text/plain

Colin,

Thanks for encouraging me. I had tried a reinstallation also, did a
repair, but got no registration window. So I went back to my original
download directory to the original install.exe file, ran it, and registered.
