Openoffice/Openbox problem?

I'm new to Arch Linux (and linux in general really) but I've gotten along just fine. I installed Openbox and everything was cool until I noticed openoffice did nothing when i clicked on it in the menu. It seems obmenu refuses to save my execute setting for openoffice specifically. Not for anything else though. I checked to make sure i wan't missing anything i needed to run it, and i'm not. I can run it from the terminal just fine. I haven't found anything online regarding this, but it's possible I haven't looked hard enough.

Any explanation? Thanks

You should switch to libreoffice. Arch will not package openoffice in the future.

Re: Openoffice/Openbox problem?

ha yea i hit save. that was the problem, it refused to save it it. i'd hit save and instead it would reset it. i will take the recommendation for libreofffice, thanks.
