From the page of the author who compiled OpenOffice.org for arm download the file:
openoffice.org-bin_1.1.4-1_arm.deb

From Debian OpenOffice.org page download the following files:
openoffice.org-l10n-en_1.1.4-7_all.deb
openoffice.org-l10n-ja_1.1.4-7_all.deb
openoffice.org_1.1.4-7_all.deb
ttf-opensymbol_2.0.0-2_all.deb

From Debian OpenOffice.org Debian files page download the file:
openoffice.org-debian-files_1.1.4-6+1_all.deb

From here download libneon23_0.23.9.dfsg.3_arm.deb.

Put all the above files in one directory. I use /mnt/cf/InstallDebian/OpenOffice

Then, run the following:
apt-get install dpkg-multicd
cd /mnt/cf/InstallDebian/OpenOffice
dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null ][ gzip -9 > Packages.gz

You should see something like this:

Packages in archive but missing from override file: **

...

Wrote 8 entries to output Packages file.**

Then edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file and at the end add a line:
deb file:/mnt/cf/InstallDebian/OpenOffice ./

Then run the following:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install openoffice.org openoffice.org-l10n-ja
dpkg-reconfigure openoffice.org-l10n-ja

And that's it, it'll run no prob now.

Then start OpenOffice by typing
ooffice

When it comes up go to Tools > Options > Language Setting => Languages
There select Japanese for locale setting and hit OK
Then exit OpenOffice.

Done.

Now when you start it again, it'll come up in Japanese.

Furthermore, you can use all the fonts that you have installed in Debian, unlike with the OpenOffice.org from http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/, where I couldn't...

The only issue which seems to be permanent with OpenOffice.org for arm is that you must save the documents in Word 97 format to be able to open them in Word and vice versa, from Word you also have to save in Word 97 to be able to open in OpenOffice.

At least I haven't found a way to fix this. And the prob doesn't exist in my desktop OpenOffice.org version, so it's somehow connected with this...
