Use pacman's search function to find the openoffice packages:

pacman -Ss openoffice

Well because of licensing issues we don't provide OpenOffice anymore. Henceforth, Arch users are actively encouraged to appreciate the blessings Vim or Emacs bestow upon them.

Huh? Was that a joke that suffered in translation?



@riivo
I recommended using the search function so he could find "go-openoffice" as well, along with all the supplementary packages.

What translation? It was meant to sound solemn.
