 From users at openoffice.org:

"install the following in /usr/local/bin:

================================cut here================================
#!/bin/sh
# script to start openoffice.org components
PROG=`basename $0`
exec /opt/OpenOffice/program/$PROG $*
================================cut here================================

save that as "soffice" and chmod 755, then create symlinks to it in the
names of all the components:

       chmod 755 soffice
       ln -s soffice swriter
       ln -s soffice sdraw

now everyone using this machine will have the scripts -- if it's their
first time use, soffice will invoke the setup script anyway."

All the best
