you do ] swriter or ]./swriter if the folder is not on the path, only the second one works. > I tried reinstalling, but yum said all the packages are already > installed.

I suspect reinstalling it might cure the problem, no. there is an issue (I don't recall the number) with the URE package, so that you have to exclude this package in yum configuration otherwise it gets updated with Fedora's one. You can see that ~]$ yum info openoffice.org-ure shows Installed Packages Name : openoffice.org-ure Arch : x86_64 Version : 1.8.0 Release : 9536 Size : 9.5 M Repo : installed Summary : UNO Runtime Environment License : LGPL Description : UNO Runtime Environment Available Packages Name : openoffice.org-ure Arch : x86_64 Epoch : 1 Version : 3.3.0 Release : 15.2.fc14 Size : 2.5 M Repo : updates Summary : UNO Runtime Environment URL : http://www.openoffice.org/ License : LGPLv3 and LGPLv2+ and BSD and (MPLv1.1 or GPLv2 or LGPLv2 or Netscape) and (CDDL or GPLv2) and Public Domain Description : UNO is the component model of OpenOffice.org. UNO offers interoperability : between programming languages, other components models and hardware : architectures, either in process or over process boundaries, in the Intranet : as well as in the Internet. UNO components may be implemented in and accessed : from any programming language for which a UNO implementation (AKA language : binding) and an appropriate bridge or adapter exists the version scheme in Fedora package follows the one in the OOo Fedora release Version : 3.3.0 but the one downloaded from OOo not: Version : 1.8.0 So the one from Fedora's repo is seen as an update from the one from OOo's site. You will have to edit /etc/yum.conf and add: exclude=openoffice.org-ure or better exclude=openoffice.org* in the [main] section > but I don't > know which package to install: > > ...freedesktop-menus... > ...mandriva-menus... > ...redhat-menus... > ...suse-menus... > > It's probably either freedesktop or redhat, but I don't want to install > the wrong one.

First remove everything: [r...@localhost ~]# yum erase openoffice.org* then reinstall everything. Untar the package downloaded from OOo, go to the RPMS folder, do a [r...@localhost ~]# yum localinstall openoffice.org* then go to the desktop integration folder and install the one for RedHat (notice that the one for FreeDesktop should work, because Fedora is supposed to follow the FreeDesktop standard).
