” First and foremost you have to make sure the application is
there. If you look in your Office sub-menu of the Applications menu
you should see an entry titled “OpenOffice.org Base”
(or a variation on that theme). If you do not then you are going to
have to fire up your Add/Remove Software utility, search for
“openoffice” (no quotes), mark OpenOffice.org Base for
installation, and click Apply to install.“After Base is installed go back to the menu and see if the
entry is there. If so, click it.“When you first fire up OpenOffice Base the Database Wizard will
start (see Figure 1). The first step is to decide what you want to
do.”
