Since that is the name of the first folder, of course it didn't work.

As I said before: type
Code:
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
I thought that "*" was the equivalent of an ellipsis. Hence the extended file. Anyway, I ran it and the LO is in the Application Menu but it won't launch. (I also went to an odt file,right clicked and chose 'open with LO Writer 4.2.' It wouldn't open.)

Spoiler:
gregg@LG:~/Desktop$ cd LibreOffice_4.2.3.3_Linux_x86_deb/DEBS/
gregg@LG:~/Desktop/LibreOffice_4.2.3.3_Linux_x86_deb/DEBS$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
