Running user programs as root is not recommended.

HOWEVER, if you really want to run freoffice as root by default, without having to open the terminal and become root, etc. you can just the setuid bit on the executable.

open xterm and do:

Noob-note: type only what is written after the "$" or the "#" symbol.

* find the path to the FreOffice executable (I don't have it, so I don't know it).

Code:

$ which FreOffice
/opt/bla bla bla.

* get root (you can also type "sudo gainroot")

Code:

$ root

* set the suid bit

Code:

# chmod +s /opt/blabla

* exit

Code:

# exit
$ exit
