I found the problem: Apparently 8.04 doesn't install OpenOffice base alongside writer and calc. After installing the "openoffice.org-base" package (plus dependencies), the problems disappeared.
It's still not possible to remove a database selection entry (as I described above). Is there another way to manage the databases? -- OpenOffice Mail Merge Wizard does not recognise new address list https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185057 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
