Open Office must be installed in your system. Its the default package in Ubuntu Releases.. Anyway, if you want to install it, apt-get install openoffice.org
Anytime you want to search for the packages, you can in terminal apt-cache search package-name-or-partial-text Find the list and apt-get install it. In XFCE there is nothing different than GNOME, so whatever you did in GNOME, you can do in XFCE too. Like you want to open Synaptics, the package Manager, just check it in XFCE Menu, or in terminal open sudo synaptics thats all. The only difference between GNOME and XFCE is that, the environment, look and windows management along with some core GNOME facilities are not available, else you can use any software/packages installed just like that. Either find the name in XFCE menu, or start it from terminal or the XFCE run applet. Got it. Also, you can have GNOME and XFCE all installed there, just switch to XFCE from the login manager, select the sessions.
