Re: [libreoffice-users] problem downloading LibreOffice 3.4.4

To download and install English LibreOffice and the Japanese language 
pack, go to:
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/

Go down to the green drop boxes and make sure you see/choose Windows in 
one and the Japanese language in the other.

If there is any problems doing that, go down farther and choose "Other 
way to download . . .".

Then choose 3.4.4, then Windows.  Click on the Helppacks to go down to 
the Japanese one.

Here are the direct links, to the Windows download and the the help pack .
[if I got the language code correct]

The question of "gibberish":
Could there be some font issues where there is not "default" English 
system font and the English text is written in using the Japanese glyphs 
that are in the font instead of the English letters?  I do not know 
enough about the Japanese fonts, but I did see one or two that did just 
that, though most of the fonts I use for foreign languages are Unicode 
so the Japanese fonts are somewhere else.
