You may find it useful to wrap your lines at about 72 characters.
Use synaptic - Debian GUI package manager - or, open a terminal
and (commands indented by one tab stop below for emphasis only)
su - <Enter>
[Give root password] (prompt will probably change to a #)
aptitude install openoffice.org<Enter>
When aptitude finishes,
exit<Enter> (will put you back to being a normal user)
Synaptic / aptitude and/or apt-get are what you need here.
man aptitude will tell you more than enough to get you
started :)
Hope this helps,
Andy
