You can do it two ways.
cd into the /opt/openoffice.org1.9.118/program/ folder and then run (as
user not root)
./soffice
or from anywhere run
/opt/openoffice.org1.9.118/program/soffice
I've now tried both of these and I get the same response: "permission
denied". I even tried it in the root terminal and I still get
"permission denied)
Ok, we're almost there and remember I know nothing about Ubuntu. go to
the opt/openoffice..../program/ folder and do
$ls -l
look for soffice and see if it marked as executable. You should see
rwxrwxrwx or something like that. It's the x's that are important. My
bet is that it is NOT marked as executable so you
sudo chmod ugoa+rwx soffice
now you should be able to run soffice as per the instructions.
Thank you once again... it worked thanks to another truly misterious
command: ugoa (What on earth is that? :-).
Now I need to just find a way to get a shortcut on my desktop or menu to
the programmes, but I will figure that out bymyself somehow. I look
forward to working with the new programme. Hopefully much more stable.

I sense I am close to the solution here.
Thanks once again for your patience.
