Re: [vox-tech] debian woody sources for openoffice

[Jonathan Stickel <jjstickel@sMAPSbcglobal.net>]

You could install the official binary distribution from OppenOffice.org. 
 I've not had any problems with the 1.1 release after several installs 
in both Linux and Windows.  I'd reccommend getting the CD release which 
you can leave with your family member.  In addition to having the 
installation binaries for Win, Linux, and Mac, it also has many OO.o 
"extras" (various templates and such).
