Just run
apt-get install openoffice.org
Apt will tell you which CD you have to insert. This requires that apt
scanned all your CDs earlier. If you did not do this during installation
then you can use the "apt-cdrom" command to do it at any time.

With aptitude you can do searches like this:
aptitude search '~i(~sgames|~Ggame)'
This will list all installed (~i) packages which belong to the "games"
section (~sgames) or (|) which have the string "game" in one of their
debtags (~Ggame).
You can uninstall all these packages with one fell blow by replacing
"search" with "remove" in the command above. If you want to have a bit
more control over what is going on then you can use aptitude in
interactive mode, look at "Installed Packages > games" and decide
yourself which ones you want to remove.
