Tried to add dictionary to writer- problems

Hi, I tried to add a Norwegian dictionary to openoffice, and found and installed "openoffice.org-langpack-nb-_NO" using the package manager. For the dictionary to work I also needed some "dependencies" the whole package took forever, and now, all the openoffice icons on the startmenu /wallpaper, are changed to a more "official" looking openoffice icons. I am wondering If I have installed a new version of theopenoffice pack? Even worse, when I try to start the writer I get the following error:" /home/user/%U does not exist"

I just wanted a dictionary... and will appreciate any helpful input on how to resolve this.
