You seem to be confused.  StarOffice is a proprietary product of Sun
Microsystems -- you'ld need to start at this URL:

    http://wwws.sun.com/software/star/staroffice/index.html

and pay to licence and download the package.  Unfortunately it appears
that Sun do not provide a MacOS X version.

Instead, might I suggest the very similar OpenOffice package?  That's
based on the same original code base as StarOffice, but it's available
for free.  MacOS X packages can be downloaded from:

   http://download.openoffice.org/1.1.2/index.html

or the English localised MacOS X version can be had directly from
here:

	Cheers,
