Asked by peter

Hello

I installed OO the second time. If I click the Wtriter symbol the Writer doesn't open Instead the menu opens and I can chosse among all OO applications.

What do I have to do, that the Writer opens if I click the Writer symbol? Thanks in advance.

root@linux-desktop:~# oowriter
The program 'oowriter' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
apt-get install openoffice.org-writer
bash: oowriter: command not found

The Writer is installed and it works. Should I use apt-get install openoffice.org-writer? What will be installed by this command? Thanks.

sudo apt-get --reinstall -y install openoffice.org

Will install the openoffice.org suite for you.
