Forget about StarOffice 5.something.
Go for StarOffice 6.0 -- it's sweet.  
It's has a better "Excel" than Excel!
Good luck with your morphing!!!

When in total doubt, and without thinking about things, I like to do:

    find / -mtime -1 -print

too see what files have changed in the last day.  Sometimes
there is some crud somewhere, or the list will jog your memory,
or something.  It's also good if you're dead tired and can't think
rationally anymore...  In the worst case, it can make you feel good
that something works, at least.  Sounds like you're really getting
into Linux!
