Thanks Dan, That was, indeed, obvious. I missed it because the "New" icon looks like one to open a new document, not also a new application. It would make more sense if the other applications were listed under the Applications heading of X11, or as a separate item below New. Still, once you know, all is well.

It is even simple as long as you know the secret: all other applications are accessed through the Writer Window or double clicking on file requiring the particular file. (Double clicking a spreadsheet will open Calc, the spreadsheet application.) To open an application, double click to open OOo. (The name is really OpenOffice.org so many of us use OOo as an abbreviation.) Across the top of the OOo Writer window from Left to Right is a menu: File Edit View etc. Below this menu is the Standard toolbar containing icons from Left to Right: New Open Save etc. Within the OOo Writer window, use File > New to access a list of the other applications. Clicking on the down arrow on the right side of the New icon will open the same context menu with all the applications listed.
