 +==== OpenOffice plugin directory paths ====
 +
 +During initial installation, or after triggering the "Reinstall OpenOffice Components" command as above, you see a select folder dialog with the title:
 +
 +//"Select the OpenOffice installation directory"//
 +
 +This directory typically contains a "basis-link" directory and/or a "program" directory. By default, the installer looks in the following locations:
 +
 +  /usr/local/opt/openoffice.org3.1
 +  /opt/openoffice.org3.1
 +  /usr/lib64/ooo3
 +  /usr/lib/ooo3
 +  /usr/lib64/openoffice.org3
 +  /usr/lib/openoffice.org3
 +
 +On many distributions, you can type "locate soffice" at the terminal to find the soffice executable, which is usually located inside the "program" directory in the installation directory. If the locate command does not work, try "find / -name soffice 2>/dev/null", although this will take significantly longer to execute.
 +
 +If you see a select folder dialog with the title:
 +
 +//"Select the directory containing the soffice executable"//
 +
 +then you can follow the instructions immediately above to find the soffice executable.
 +
 +If you see a select folder dialog with the title:
 +
 +//"Select the directory containing the URE JAR files"//
 +
 +then you can use "locate ridl.jar" or "find / -name ridl.jar 2>/dev/null" to find the ridl.jar file. Select the parent directory in the dialog.
 +
 +You may also specify these paths in the Preferences window for the Zotero OpenOffice Integration extension, but they must contain a trailing slash.
