Thanks for the suggestion. I went to the archives, but I was unable to 
find a full OpenOffice download. Must I download all of the components 
separately, or have I misread the file names? What must I download, and 
then, how do I install the deb file?

Forgive my ignorance, but I am really a newbie.

Please explain about uninstalling the current version before the upgrade 
you suggested.

And by the way, I now have the downloaded 
OOo_2.0.2_LinuxIntel_install_wJRE.tar.gz file on bord, just in case.
