That is because the PPA overwrites your existing Ubuntu OOo and installs in it's place, so you need to look for ooffice: ~$ locate ooffice will show you that ooffice is located at /usr/bin/ooffice and if you look at the file you'll find that it is a shell that points to /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice So, you wish to open Writer specifically you can do two things: 1. From your Office menu click on the Writer icon which uses: ooffice -writer %U 2. From a terminal: ~$ ooffice -writer or /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice -writer --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
