Open Office in FC16

[sameerdhar]

Dear Everybody,
I recently installed fc16 from the live boot cd, I have been using fedora for many years now. the office suite was not installed by the live cd. I downloaded the OpenOffice.org suite and installed it. All went fine but now it neither shows in applications nor in the office applications tab. Pl help


Regards Sameer

Fedora 16 has Libreoffice which is better than Open Office anyway.

While I may agree with you but where did the installation go?? I successfully installed the Ooo 3.3 but cant find it.

Look for /opt/openoffice.org/program/soffice or /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.

Stick with LibreOffice unless you have a specific need for OpenOffice.org. LibreOffice is a better-maintained fork of OO.o and should be installed by default.

If you really need OO.o and have successfully installed it, it'll probably be somewhere in /opt as RupertPupkin said. Otherwise "locate openoffice.org" (in a terminal) should find it.
