I am running woody and haven't been able to get it to work like that. I had to finally create a file named "local.soffice" in /usr/lib/menu. That seemed to work. However I copied the section from Kword "Apps/Editors". But Kword shows up under B?roprogramme (Office Applications) whereas StarOffice shows up under Debian/Apps/Editors. Very weird! Of course I would like StarOffice to show up under B?roprogramme as well. Couldn't figure that out so far from the docs. Nico
