open office access

[martina_alyce]

Newbie here...I just installed Open Office, and it looks all nice, and the folder is in my home folder and so on...
But I can't get Open office to start! I can get various little things to start, like theprinter configuration, but I can't find the program for the main set up.
Can someone please tell me the file name, or where the shortcut showed up (if there is one?)

Thank you
Martina

read the instructions lol.

open command prompt and type ./soffice (might have to be in the installation dir- cant remember)

after that i saw a shortcut in the StartApplication menu whe i used KDE

But i dont know which came first the chicken or the egg?

Otherwise create a shortcut and get it to execute ./soffice

it should be in the bin/ dir
