    You can install OpenOffice Base from the 'Add/Remove Application' Gnome user interface.

    I think that the package is not included in the default installation because it's not used that often (and Ubuntu still runs out of a standard cd).

    Ubuntu for some reason has this Add/Remove applications hid away in some wierd menues. You can launch Synaptic by typing
    $ sudo synaptic
    in your terminal.

    Tough Synaptic is not the same as the Add/Remove Applications thingy but they do the same job.

    Or you can Alt + F2 and type "gnome-app-install" ^_^

    Try to start a Terminal. In Gnome:Application->Accessories->Terminal .

    Then type into your Terminal, if you use sudo:

    $sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-base

    In the most case, the distributions doesn't use sudo per default. Then type:
    $su
    #apt-get install openoffice.org-base


    Have a nice day!
