I decided to install OpenOffice in Backtrack since it is not part of the default pack because of size limitations. I always find it useful to have a spreadsheet application installed as part of my Pen-Testing toolkit.
http://download.openoffice.org/
Get the Linux DEB. I am using the English (US)
OOo_3.0.1_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz
tar -zxvf OOo_3.0.1_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz
cd OOo_inst_folder/DEBS
dpkg -i *.deb
(Not sure this is needed for KDE but I did it for the icons in kmenuedit)
cd desktop-integration
dpkg -i *.deb
Add it to KDE if you are using Gnome you don't need to do this.
kmenuedit
Click on Utilities
Ctrl+N (New)
Name: OpenOffice3 (or what ever you want)
Command: /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice
Click on the blank icon next to name and pick an icon for open office
Ctrl+S (Save)
