Check if a newly-created user has the same problem. If not then your regular user's ~/.openoffice.org2 directory has become corrupted. You can move it out of the way and it will be restored from a template the next time you start OpenOffice. (You will of course lose all your custom settings.) -- Regards, Florian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
