8 Star Office
Star Office is a free office system similar to Microsoft Office. To use Star Office, you must first install
it. You install it by choosing Star Office in the menu “Anvendelser” found by pressing the K button.
This will start the installation. You are prompted to make a local or a network installation – you
choose a local installation.
When Star Office is installed you start Star Office by choosing the same menu item, that is, Star Office
in the menu “Anvendelser”.
Typing soffice & in an Xterm does also start Star Office.
