I also experienced this bug. After reading about this bug on the web, I understood it was a stale configuration problem. I noticed this warning each time ooffice was run:
$ooffice Upgrading script.xlc to correct path... Following advice from http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=19906 and related issues, I tried the following workaround. rm ~/.xopenoffice1.1/user/basic/dialog.xlc rm ~/.xopenoffice1.1/user/basic/script.xlc ~./xopenoffice1.1/setup # choose repair option ===quote - setup.log OK copy /usr/lib/openoffice/user/basic/dialog.xlc, /home/mbarnes/.xopenoffice1.1/user/basic/dialog.xlc, 4/13/05, 1:10:00 AM, \uffff, FSysError = 0 OK copy /usr/lib/openoffice/user/basic/script.xlc, /home/mbarnes/.xopenoffice1.1/user/basic/script.xlc, 4/13/05, 1:10:00 AM, \uffff, FSysError = 0O ===end quote The problem is that those two .xlc files are written with the installation paths and they get out of date. By removing them and repairing them you get corrected copies. The next time office is run, it updates those files with the correct paths for the current installation. So the problem can recur if you change your configuration. Regards, Marcus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
