5. Dragging the said icon to the trash (which now looks like an eject button) renders LibreOffice un-usable (sic).

What am I doing wrong? Or does every installation create this icon on the desktop (that can't be right!!).
Step 5 should be "Open the LibreOffice disk image on the desktop," step 6 "Drag LibreOffice from the disk image to /Applications," step 7 "Drag the LibreOffice disk image to the trash/eject," and step 8 "Drag the LibreOffice .dmg file to the trash."
