DESCRIPTION
     OpenOffice is a multi-platform office productivity suite. It includes the
     key desktop applications, such as a word processor, spreadsheet,
     presentation manager, and drawing program, with a user interface and
     feature set similar to other office suites.  Sophisticated and flexible,
     OpenOffice also works transparently with a variety of file formats,
     including those of Microsoft Office.

     More information can be found at http://openoffice.org/,
     /usr/OpenOffice/README, /usr/OpenOffice/LICENSE, and the available
     OpenOffice Help Documents.

     soffice is a convenience script which runs OpenOffice with the arguments
     specified on the command line.


OPTIONS
     Command line options are described below.  Note that any arguments that
     are specified are passed to /usr/OpenOffice/soffice.

     -display
          Causes OpenOffice to connect to the specified X-server DISPLAY.

     -minimized
          Do not display the introductory "splash" screen when starting up.

     -norestore
          Informs OpenOffice to not restore all opened documents automatically
          after a crash. If a given file is what is causing the application to
          crash, the only way to start the application to have it ignore the
          "culprit file" is by specifying the -norestore option.

     -o   Force open documents regardless if they are templates or not

     -p   Print specified file(s) to the current (default) printer.

     -pt  Print specified file(s) to a particular printer/output device
          (device must be specified after the argument).

     -quickstart
          Will start the application without displaying the introductory
          "splash" (see -minimized). If a copy of the application is already
          running, it will invoke (use) that copy ("run-once" behavior). If
          the application is not running, no visible UI will appear.
     FILE(S)
          File(s) to operate on.
