After a helpful private reply from Brian Barker, I now know why OpenOffice was not appearing in my Start - All Programs screen - it had overflowed off-screen! I am used to seeing the last thing I installed at the end of the list (which is now 3 full columns long) and OpenOffice was not there until I re-sorted the list by name. Thanks!
