Thanks Andy; however, I had this problem before:

  http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=users&msgNo=186570

I'd forgotten about that, but apparently the solution is to upgrade.
However, as shown in the rest of that thread, I had problems doing that.

*/US>9483/ directory; however, the output from that
indicated the upgrade was incomplete.  At that point
I must have given up.  That was back in 2010-03-30.

I may try again, but maybe not :(

I tried again, with:

http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/stable/3.2.1/OOo_3.2.1_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz

After unzipping and untarring, then follwed directions posted here:

http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=186815

The first time, the output showed conflicts; so, I used synaptic to remove all existing openoffice installs and tried:

  sudo dpkg -i *.deb desktop-integration/*.deb

within:

~/download/OpenOffice/3.2.1/OOO320_m18_native_packed-1_en-US.9502/DEBS

After that, the Applications:Office menu had several OpenOffice.org
entries, e.g.:

  OpenOffice.org
  OpenOffice.org 3.2 Base
  OpenOffice.org 3.2 Calc
  ...

but no writer.

How can I get writer?  Also, clicking on the 1st menu item:

  OpenOffice.org

results in an error dialog:

  Could not launch menu item

  Failed to execute child process
  "oofromtemplate"(No such file or directory)

How can I correct that?

TiA.
