OpenOffice, please note, is the name of the *office* suite. If you were 
(are) a power Windows user, you'll know MS-Word has its application 
named winword. Similarly, openoffice, under Ubuntu can be started at 
the terminal by typing 

username at machinename: ~$ oowriter 

(Similarly, you can start Impress (presentation), Calc (spreadsheet) 
using the following commands, oocalc). 

A better way to find out, what applications you can start from command 
line, in your office suit, is to type "oo" and then press tabs (once or 
twice) to list the Office suit's available apps.

I hope, you'll now be able to fire up Oo from the command line. :)
