Hi everyone,

recently bought a mac and absolutely love it but to be honest, I'm having quite a hard time adjusting to how different it is to a PC. I'm running open office and I have to download each time I turn the computer on. Should I have to? If yes it doesn't really bother me but just wondered. The main reason I'm here is because I need to do an ICT task where I do a folder hierarchy, and its made me realise that I have just been saving everything to my desktop and don't have a "my documents" as I did on my pc. How do I get to my documents, and how do I do a folder hierarchy once I get there? Also simple things like putting page numbers on a document becomes really difficult. Would any of you guys be able to help me with these problems? I'd be extremely grateful. I know this is probably really easy to you lot, but it would help me a lot.

Thanks,

Steph

To answer your initial question, no you do nont need to download OOo every time, that would be ridiculous. No idea how to solve your problem though, i've never worked on a Mac. The only other OOo question you seem to have is how to put in page numbering. There's a nice tutorial for that here.

EDIT: woops, didn't see this was a duplicate thread

You'll make everyone's task easier by asking one question per thread.

What makes you think you have to download each time? Have a look on the MacOS board.

Thanks so much for help, Caracalla.

I've made a big mistake, I've deleted the other thread instead of this one . Fortunately, I've still the posts in my browser so here is the main one:

The only thing to find out is how to add a folder to an existing folder. You may find that information in the Help function that comes with the Mac. It must be something very simple.

NB: moved the thread to the Mac forum.
