[vox-tech] Debian Contrib



I've been bothered by the fact that Debian's Open Office does not have Help.  
I just learned that Debian does have Open Office Help, but it's in the 
Contrib set of packages; not Main.

My question is this.  Can the sources.list file be configured to allow Apt to 
bring down Contrib packages, or do I just download a tarball from the Debian 
website?

(I tried adding "testing contrib" to the end of one of my sources, but that 
did not work.  And I don't yet see this issue covered in the "Debian System" 
book.)

Thank you.

Bob
