The two are designed to co-exist well, and I use both versions on my system. > Well, uh, no, it didn't but thanks anyway.

There isn't much log info compiled in release builds. It can help, though, to run 'openoffice' or 'openoffice1.1' from a terminal window - you may see information there. If there is nothing at all and OOo just hangs, there is a good chance that you have some hung OOo processes around. You should be able to see them using 'ps -fu $USER | grep soffice.bin'. You can kill them off using 'killall -9 soffice.bin'. This kills all OOo processees so don't do this if you have any other OOo windows open :) (A reboot would clear this problem too, so don't be surprised if switching off and on helps) Chris
