Hello Mel Broadhurst, Mel Walters, and Gustin Johnson, I selected completely remove open office from the synaptic menue, and an additional three packages were selected for complete removal. I then applied the selection and open office was completely removed, which included seeing the word "purge" appear among other words on the console screen. I then marked "openoffice.org" for install and the other three packages were added to the list. I then applied this selection, and presumably open office was installed again. But when I went to use open office, I clicked on open office calc and nothing happened. Possibly Mel Walters might be able to come over some time this weekend to see what to do. I will be unavailable on Friday evening, however.
