#!/bin/bash
/opt/openoffice4/program/soffice
save it to ~/bin (for example, ~/bin/aoo) and make executable. Then simply Alt+F2 and enter aoo. Of course, you can create a shortcut to that script.

OpenOffice is usually installed in /opt/openoffice4 and the file you want is /opt/openoffice4/program/soffice

My suggestion worked on my KDE.

[Desktop Entry]

Name=OpenOffice
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Version=4

Create an openoffice.desktop file that contains:
- Code: Select all Expand viewCollapse view
[Desktop Entry]
Exec=/opt/openoffice4/program/soffice
Icon=/opt/openoffice4/program/logo.png
Name=OpenOffice
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Version=4
Save it in ~/.local/share/applications
Make it executable.
It should now appear in the menus if they follow the freedesktop standard.
