I agree with Maurice D Howe on this. Forward and backward compatibility
with other major office suites is critical. Right now, I have to use MS
Office to maintain backward compatibility with clients who are still in
the stoneage with old WPD and Lotus installs on their decrepit machines.
However, these clients are not impoverished--not hardly. Just crusty and
set in their ways.

By the way, Boy & Girls -- if OpenOffice (by whatever flavor) wants to
remain compatible with MS Word, et al, then you better take another look at
the upward/downward compatibility between OO and other contenders. One
absolute MUST is the interface between the other contenders (AOO, MS Office,
et al). Else, you've got a gawd-awful and ever-lasting mess on your hands.
I despair...

Personally, I've had to go through 5 or 6 recovery processes in a row before
it stopped crashing. It was under Windows XP. Since then, no problem.

Apache OpenOffice 3.4.0 and 3.4.1 manage the user profile differently
than previous versions. The old user profile is automatically
converted so that users can keep their extensions and settings. In a
minority of cases, especially with highly customized profiles (many
extensions or customizations) the conversion doesn't succeed. Common
symptoms are: frequent application crashes, problems with
dictionaries or thesaurus, OpenOffice starting and crashing after a
few seconds. To solve this, just reset/rename your user profile as
explained in the official OpenOffice forum.

How many times do you need to do this? I did this when I first installed
AOO and now its doing the same thing. It is also annoying when the recovery
isn’t needed to load the file or when no file exists and it makes it up.
Canceling so you can just load from the file doesn’t do any good. It just
closes and creates the dummy file.
