    openoffice install question

    I installed the beta of OO.o, I got the RPMs and converted them to TGZs and then installed them. it did not install the openoffice shortcuts in the menu, the only way i can run the programs is if i go into /opt/openoffice. does anyone know how to get the menu to display? thx

    Which window manager are you using? (KDE, Gnome, IceWM, etc.)

    Under settings, you should see Menu Updating Tool. Run that and you'll be able to select Open Office for inclusion into the menus.

    Then you'll have to do it the old fashioned way and create the menu item manually.

    right click on the panel and then 'configure panel' - open the menu 'menus' and then 'edit K menu' from there you may decide where to build ur next submenu and name and also the command to open that particular menu

    good luck
