I found I had to type 'soffice' or 'swriter', etc. All that after adding /usr/local/OpenOffice1.1/program/ to my path So, the full startup is: /usr/local/OpenOffice1.1/program/soffice It will depend a little on where you have it install and which version you install. I seem to remember getting this hint out of some online article, but I don't remember what it was anymore. Anyway, it amounts to an error in Openoffice documentation as it is installed on FreeBSD. ////jerry > > thanks, > Ned > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
