Hi Chris - Thanks for the reply. I was able to get everything working again, but I had to restart the entire system. It was a weird fluke. I've run into problems several times when trying to paste web content into Writer, but this was the worst one yet.
Thanks again for your reply, Chris Donner ________________________________ From: Chris Cheney <cche...@ubuntu.com> To: donnerso...@yahoo.com Sent: Saturday, February 14, 2009 3:08:34 PM Subject: [Bug 326960] Re: Writer - opens to all black window with scroll bars inside of main program. <File - New - Text doc> opens a new all black window. Does removing ~/.openoffice.org2/ directory resolve the problem for you?

I can click anywhere on this page and the cursor stays. I can type but no characters appear. The last thing I did before this happened was try to paste and print part of a webpage into Writer. It crashed and has not recovered since.
