You say that you installed OOo (OpenOffice.org), but you don't say how. Did you run the installer program and did it finish successfully? It sounds as if you are using Windows, but I can't really guess which version. Try opening "Search -> For Files & Folders" from the "Start" button, then search for a file named "soffice.exe". If you don't find this file you haven't installed the program, so go back and run the installer program correctly. If you do find this file double left mouse click on it and the program should start.

There should be shortcuts there. Unlike many apps, OOo does not clutter your desktop. And if there's nothing in the system tray you must have disabled the QuickStarter. Please include essential information about your PC when submitting a help request - Processor: RAM: Operating System: (Windows or Linux or other) OpenOffice Version: 1.x or 2.x ======================================================================= Fajar Priyanto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2006 12:55:21 +0700 (16:55 EST) Hi, What OOo version and what windows do you use? I believe OOo doesn't create any shortcut on your desktop, but it certainly has it's own program group on the Start Menu. Look in it. ======================================================================= --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
