I meant to ask this but I wanted to see if I could find the answer first, but alas, no success.

I can only see New Document, New Spreadsheet, New Presentation via Menu, Office. How can I get the entire LO Apps on my dtop or in the menu list. SM shows them as installed but I don't see them in the Menu.

I do need to use Base.

Hi,
If you "right click" the Menu button, then select "Edit Applications"
A "Main Menu" box will appear, click on the "Office" item on the left.
You can then tick/un-tick the items you want to appear in Menu > Office

It appears that you will have to install the package "libreoffice-base" from Install/Remove Software to get it working.

Thanks Wirezfree. I did not even know that shortcut exists.  It didn't work though. Base wouldn't open. I installed libreoffice-base as avj suggested.

In any case, I learned something else about Lite  :).

Yes, I should have mentioned that I added "base" myself.

No worries  :). I learned about right clicking on the menu -something I never knew. So thanks too.
