  2. Click Browse. Windows explorer shows the content of the installation folder.
  3. Go to the MC\OpenOfficeExtension folder and start Install.bat.

    This will identify the installed applications on the system and then install the extension for that application.

  4. Wait until the extension is installed.
    The name of the extension appears in the list of extensions. The extension has the symbol Extension OK next to its name indicating that this extension is installed for all users.
