Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Installing the Deb

Hi :)
I got my taskbar icon / Launcher icon / whatever the word is now, sorted by opening a document and 
then right-clicking on the icon that appeared in the task-bar-type-thing and chose "Lock to 
taskbar".  Now i just click on that to open a blank Writer document.  
Regards from
Tom :)
