Flash does not work on the Raspi.
Adobe completely dropped Flash on Linux , too.

"Home Office" ? Do you mean apps like Microsoft Office ?

Try

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libreoffice

Libreoffice should appear in the desktop menu.

Thanks Ghans,but what programme are you talking about Home Office for lynux or Microsoft Office and though you kindly gave me some information what do I need to open to enter these sudo apt's have tried downloading the relevant programme and entering these into command line to execute and have tried many other ways ,please remember I am a novice at this though a computer user for many years so please be a bit clearer on where this info needs to go to activate the programme

Could you please post the exact steps you have taken ?
What did you click , which commands did you execute.
If you are on the latest Raspbian Image , and already
started LXDE , open a LXTerminal and
enter

Code: Select all

libreoffice&

LibreOffice should start up.

Microsoft Office is not available on Linux. Microsoft does not publish
Office for Linux. Linux Users can use LibreOffice , which is available for
Windows too.

That does not look right...
Did you install it first as per the instructions of ghans' first reply? If not then you have to open LXTerminal and type

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libreoffice

As mentioned above you should now find the LibreOffice programs in the menu. If not then you can start it from the command line as previously mentioned

Did you type:

sudo apt-get install libreoffice

What you showed above looks like you left out the 'install' part of the command maybe.

Typed in CODE:SELECT ALL next line said select command not found

I understand the confusion now. The block with the white background and header 'CODE' etc. is just a bit of formatting to make it more readable. It also makes it easier to copy the code: if you click on 'select all' it does exactly that: the contents of the code block is selected and you can now copy it by using the usual keyboard shortcuts (or right mouse click + copy).

So you should only enter the lines below this header.
