dredge around to find executeables and eventually found soffice.exe.
Who knew openoffice began with S? It did not appear on my start menu
until I pinned it there myself. The window it presents did not appear
to offer clues to other components but I did eventually discover that
loading
an Excel spreadsheet would take me to calc. Following your advice I
see that "new" will take me there too.
Thanks for your advice.
It sounds like something didn't install properly. I haven't used Vista,
so I can't speak from experience there. However, on XP, double clicking
on the downloaded file starts the install, which ends with an OpenOffice
folder and icons in the Start menu. You shouldn't have to add anything
to the Start menu.
