In GNOME2 you can edit the menu using Alacarte (right-click over the main 
menu button and select "Menu edit". From there you can add/rename/remove 
the desired entries.

This can be also done manually by creating the corresponding ".desktop" 
file in "/usr/share/applications/ooo-impress.desktop" (this is a system 
wide entry available for all your system users).
