Yuri said - >I showed her gaw-juss-ness which icon to click for OpenOffice, went to the bathroom and when I came back her document was already halfway out of the printer.
and >Note - I'm talking about using, not installing or configuring. Precisely. It's getting the icon on the desktop in the first place, in order to avoid having to wade through the K menus. The Mandrake 'How To' doesn't work and many binaries don't give an indication in their name as to what they are for. I can always identify a .exe file in a Windows type programme. (Mandrake 8.2 put a lot of useful icons on the desktop during the install, while 9.0 only seems to give 'sales' items which might be used once in a blue moon.) Also Open Office says, when requesting 'help'. "You haven't loaded the help file." Not me, mate! I requested Open Office be loaded during the install and I thought that you would have the sense to know that I would need all files relevent to it, without my having to go searching CDs to locate files you had missed, and then to learn how to add them.
