I recommend doing a network installation, then. This means installing it
as root to a central location. Then as each user you run set-up and it
just creates the data directory in your home. This is preferable even if
you are the only user on the machine - it means that if you mess up you
can just nuke the ~/office52 directory and start again without having to
reinstall the entire package. IIRC you do this by running the
installation binary with /net or -net. Then for each user you run the
setup script in the /installation-path/program/ directory.
ISTR some people were complaining on the list that staroffice only runs
as the person who installed it. They probably missed this poorly
documented step.
