Nicolas: Three questions:

Question #1: Do I have the correct CentOS version of OpenOffice
installed now and are there any other OpenOffice packages I need to
install with yum?

Question #2: What yum command can I use, to install everything in the
OpenOffice "Group", such as writer, calc, and many other packages?

Question #3:  What yum command should I use (the one below obviously
is not correct) to install the Applications/Office menus? (If I can do
that, I suspect this will work properly again)

I had removed (with yum) openoffice.org3.1-redhat-menus-noarch
0:3.1-9393 because I got a long list of Transaction Errors Thursday
night, when trying to install OpenOffice with yum and that's probably
why there's nothing in Applications/Office for the OpenOffice.org
Applications now.

Thank you, again, for your time and help. Much appreciated! Lanny
