Do you mean the applications menu? Don't know what you mean by that. Try alt f1. > OpenOffice word processor.

It is for you to try out a full system and see how it goes before installing. To open up writer: -alt f1 -Navigate to office menu -Then enter on that and arrow down to wordprocessor or open office writer. It may be called open office wordprocessor... Dunno, I don't use ubuntu. > Other than that, the live CD's a good way to get up and running and > try the system out. So what is your question then? First you say you can't do things and now its a great idea? I don't understand how it can be so good when you couldn't test what you wanted. Now that I told you how to get to the menus you should have some more luck. Also alt control f1 will give you a full screen console. And alt f2 will give you the run dialog. -- Daniel Dalton http://members.iinet.net.au/~ddalton/ d.dalton at iinet.net.au
