After downloading the .deb package you can install it by either one of these three methods:
1. Selecting it, right-click on it and from the context menu select install with gdebi or
2. Double-click the file which does just about the same as above or
3. Open a terminal and type

Code:

sudo dpkg -i pkg_name.deb

if get any messages regarding missing dependecies type

Code:

sudo apt --fix-broken install

and that should take care of those. On the other hand, methods 1 or 2 will take care of everything for you.

Hope this helps!

WRT the above - for a command line install it is perhaps easier to simply open a terminal in download file location and do

Code:

sudo apt install ./file.deb

- that way the dependencies are resolved all in one go.

Nice tip [member=7362]robinc[/member] didn't know about it. Always use dpkg to install manual downloaded .deb pkgs. Just tried it and it works like a charm saving the trouble to run --fix-broken to solve missing dependencies after. Thank you!

Freeoffice is strongly recommended!!

It opens a file in a second or less, and manage to convert complicate word files with multiple alphabets, both RTL and LTR.

Any suggestion for the future and how to be able to get rid of Win7 ?

I presume you are dual booting with Windows 7 and LL

If you want to actually get rid of it delete the partition with Gparted.

If it is on another machine just install LL on the whole hard drive.

Not sure why you want to delete it if you disconnect it from net you will be safe from Microsoft reading your data and their adverts.
