Yes, there are links off the page I gave you to the .deb files to download, which you can install using 'dpkg -i <packagename>'. You'll need to get openoffice.org and openoffice.org-bin at least (dpkg will complain about dependencies if you need any more). > Thanks for the response once again. You guys are great and fast.

Please remember that the time I spend answering questions in bug reports is time that I could have otherwise spent improving the packages etc (we are volunteers and have limited time to spend on the packages), so please try to find this type of more general information out for yourself, or ask in a more appropriate forum such as the debian-user mailing list.
