It's not included in a default Ubuntu 9.04 install. You'll need to install the package "openoffice.org-base", either via the GUI "Add/Remove" tool, the command line: sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-base Or via any other preferred method (synaptic, aptitude, whatever). -Dan -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
