True but in that case you will need to be using repositories that provide dependency information for it to be able to handle dependencies for you. The Salix repositories do, most Slackware mirrors do not.

This works perfectly. Thanks.

Between sbopkg with queuefiles and gslapt/slapt-get (2 methods which resolve dependencies on slackware) which is generally better? I want to install openoffice/libreoffice now, which one should I use?

Sbopkg will build it from source. gslapt/slapt-get will therefore be faster because it will install a binary if (and only if) you have added a repository that actually provides it.

Alternatively you could just download a binary from AlienBOB's site and install it with installpkg:

This is for slackware 13.37. I have ver 13.0 installed.

Fair enough, then you could probably take a slightly older precompiled binary package of OpenOffice from Salix's 13.0 repository:

openoffice-3.1.1-i586-1gv.txz
openoffice-3.1.1-x86_64-3gv.txz

Or if you prefer use sbopkg. Either should be fine but sbopkg will need a while to do compilation.
