Version 4.0.1 is 8 releases behind the current release of 4.1.7, and there have been many bug fixes and security fixes since then. I would first try installing the latest version form https://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html. If that does not solve your issue, I would Ask your question on the development mailing list at mailto:d...@openoffice.apache.org. This is where the developers (and others) hang out and you may have better luck getting an answer there. Regards Keith N. McKenna
