When the OpenOffice file is downloaded, double click on it and the system archive manager should start up. Tell it to extract the files - these are normally extracted to a sub directory of the Downloads folder, in my case called en-GB (as I use the GB version). Your version will differ. Now, in a terminal manoeuvre to that sub folder. In my case this is by the following commands; in your case rory will be replaced by your logon name and en-GB may be changed, as I mentioned. cd /home/rory/Downloads/en-GB cd DEBS sudo dpkg -i *.deb When that has completed, do this cd desktop-integration sudo dpkg -i *.deb Do not omit this last change of directory and repeat of the installation command, as this puts links for OpenOffice into your Office group. I suspect - only a guess - that in your installation process you overlooked this final directory change and installation of the desktop-integration section. This installation method has worked for every. DEB installation I have made over the last seven years RoryOF It takes longer to write out all this than it actually takes to do!
