Re: [orca-list] orca and open office 3

[Lutz Kaiser <lutz kaiser gmx net>]

hi Hermann and List,

i installed the "native" version.

the trick is:
in the deb-folder the is an underfolder, with the Package to install it
in the Gnomemenus.
I'm sorry - i don't know the exact name anymore and i deleted the
installdirectory

Other way:
/opt/openoffice.org3/program/swriter
for calc the same with "scalc"
greatings
Lutz
