OpenOffice

I think I installed OpenOffice 1.1. I installed it in the /usr/local/OpenOffice1.1. How do I run or were are the apps? As a newbie and Windows user The app puts the information in the start menu and I take it Mandrake 9.2 (or any other Linux) will not add it in the start menu.. How do I add all of the OpenOffice icons in the start menu and were are they for OpenOffice?

Thanks
