Hmm, I think I just solved that.

I hassled the Open Office 'launchers' until it told me what it
actually called, which was 'openoffice.org-2.0 -writer %U'.

Then I used whereis to find openoffice.org-2.0, it's in /usr/bin.

Then I downloaded the file which prompted whether to open it or save
it, I chose to open with 'other' and then I could browse for
/usr/bin/open.....

It worked.

I was happy.
