At this point you think you have uninstalled the GO-OOo version. All you need to do now is to run the script I mentioned. It will install OOo and the menu entries. Any time you want to install a new version, change the name of the folder contains the DEB folder to the name of the new version and save the script. Then run the script. If you get an error message that the menu can not be updated, that is because you still have the desktop part of GO-OOo installed on your computer. Only then should you open synaptic to remove it. If this happens I would do what you quoted at the top of this email. Then I would run the script again to install OOo. This time you should not get any error message. Once all of the GO-OOo version has been removed, you don't have to worry about it until you upgrade your Ubuntu OS. When you got to a newer version of Ubuntu, a newer version of GO-OO is installed. Remove all parts of it, and you will not have any problems using the script to installing OOo. Dan
