Appreciate the help!
To get a version of openoffice to work with equation editor
I had to use aptitude instead of apt-get to install openoffice.
as aptitude seemed to handle an incompatibility with the openoffice.org-core better. The openoffice equation editor now works fine in the Debian LXDE. However doing this update disabled the shortcut to openoffice so I had to change a line in ooo.desktop in the hildon directory by setting Exec = debbie ooffice. Anyways, I'm not very experienced at doing this type of thing and more or less stumbled on a solution. The danger is in getting the equation editor to work in this fashion I may cause other problems.

Overall this blog has been quite helpful as I've learned
quite a bit. Thanks for your efforts.
