To make openoffice ALWAYS use the Gnome interface - so it has larger fonts in the menus and dialogue boxes, and doesn't have that awful MS style gradient toolbar background:

Open the soffice executable as text - it will be somewhere like
/usr/local/OOo-2.0/program
then scroll down to this line:
# misc. environment variables
and add this line:
export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP="gnome"

Ahora, me fue muy útil este aporte,

export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP="gnome"

ya que instalé le puppy y el OpenOffice2 (Salieron las letras de menús insoportablemente pequeñas. ). Hay mas opciones? o solo "gnome"

Gracias...!

The solution is direct. I am using the .sfs versionof OpeOffice and I can't seem to find the soffice exectuable text to make the line changes.

try running

Code: Select all

which soffice

in a terminal, and it should tell you

Thanks I will invoke that command. That should point me in the right direction.
