I use Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty), with OpenOffice 2.3. The word processing
component of it is called "OpenOffice.org Writer". When I type "swriter"
on a terminal line, then a generic OpenOffice window opens, and one can
select whether one wants a Writer file, Base file, etc. When i type
"oowriter" on a terminal line, then it says that application is not
loaded on the computer, and it tells the command for installing it. I
don't know why, but that is what it replies.

ok. Now, where will that file error.log be located? Will it be in my
"home" directory?
