Icons are just small bit mapped pictures and easy to make.
However, just precicely how to associate a new icon with the program
will be dependent on the operating system you are using.
e.g. on OS X just copy the picture into the clipboard (Apple-C), select
the icon you and to change, get information (Apple-I), select the old
image and past (Apple-V) from the clipboard the new one.
If you work in a school, you'll understand teachers are terrified of new
software and get confused because they'll be looking for a Word icon in
their home directories.
Most people are scared of perceived differences or perceived newness. One
way around that is to have a short orientation class for the staff to show
them some similarities and how to accomplish a few of their common tasks
in OOo.
Last week's EdTechLive interview on OOo brought up topics like that:
