you can install it using terminal  or the software centre

open terminal  enter one command

Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:upubuntu-com/office


Code:
sudo apt-get update

Code:
sudo apt-get install openoffice


remember your sudo password is like your admin password in windows







Using the Software Center in Zorin OS

Something about it couldn't find the file in drive e which is weird because i wanted linux to be installed along side windows 7 but linux chose to install on my second hard drive instead of sharing the hd with windows 7

yeah that can sometimes

what I would do is Unplug  windows hard drive when installing Linux

you can follow this guide to remove Linux from windows hard drive
