Exactly as I said.

Open a terminal in the DEBS folder. Either using cd from the terminal, or, recent versions of the file browser include a right-click option to open a folder in the terminal.

In the debs folder:

type:

Code:

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Alternatively, try

Code:

sudo apt-get install libreoffice

That will install whichever version of "libreoffice" is available in the software center.

apt-get is kind to you, it doesn't ask you to name packages using the version numbers and 32/64-bitness and stuff, just the name. Like "libreoffice" or "firefox" or stuff.
