desktop icon shortcut`
i downloaded Apache Open Office and it seemed to download ok. But i
cannot seem to get a shortcut icon on my desktop as i had on another
computer where i could open and it would ask me if i wanted a text
document, etc. Could you please tell me how to do this?
Many Thanks,
Leon Fager

It is even easier in KDE4. ...right-click on it and select "Add to
desktop".
(Replace "Start menu" with "K menu".)

You don't mentioned what operating system you're using, but it's
certainly easy enough in Windows. Just work your way through the Start
menu until you find the OpenOffice icon. Then right click on it and
select Send to > Desktop.

well, first of all, you should install it (usually by double-clicking on the downloaded file). Have you done that? if yes, then it must be in the start menu (the headers of your message suppose you use windows 7). you may also search for 'soffice' on your disk and create a shortcut for the 'soffice.exe' file that you hopefully find.
