    well, you may have known that I tried to download open office a while back, but I couldnt get it to work. Here is my newest question

    When I click writer through the windows orb it says I am missing a shortcut, and when I look for it I cant find it. But as I was messing around over the weekend, if I right click on my desktop, I can select new then writer through there. It works, which makes me happy, but it confuses me why I cant get to it through the orb.

    I believe that OO installs itself to C:\Program...., look in there to find the exe file for writer, then copy that address. Then go into orb and right click on the OO writer shortcut and select properties, paste that location you copied into the target field. Hope this is the right answer.
