If you can send me a copy of your file direct and I will see what I

Thanks Andy; however, I had this problem before:
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=users&msgNo=186570
I'd forgotten about that, but apparently the solution is to upgrade.
However, as shown in the rest of that thread, I had problems doing that.

*/US>9483/ directory; however, the output from that
indicated the upgrade was incomplete. At that point
I must have given up. That was back in 2010-03-30.
I may try again, but maybe not :(
I tried again, with:
http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/stable/3.2.1/OOo_3.2.1_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz
After unzipping and untarring, then follwed directions posted here:
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=186815
The first time, the output showed conflicts; so, I used synaptic to
remove all existing openoffice installs and tried:
sudo dpkg -i *.deb desktop-integration/*.deb
within:
~/download/OpenOffice/3.2.1/OOO320_m18_native_packed-1_en-US.9502/DEBS
After that, the Applications:Office menu had several OpenOffice.org
entries, e.g.:
OpenOffice.org
OpenOffice.org 3.2 Base
OpenOffice.org 3.2 Calc
...
but no writer.
How can I get writer? Also, clicking on the 1st menu item:
OpenOffice.org
results in an error dialog:
Could not launch menu item
Failed to execute child process
"oofromtemplate"(No such file or directory)
How can I correct that?
TiA.
