The final resolution for Friedrich was to install the bin in /usr/lib/jvm. That directory contains the original java-6-openjdk which is not working correctly with openoffice.org. After installing jre- 6u22-linux-i586.bin in /usr/lib/jvm, open office was able to find it automatically. Then it was only necessary to select the newly installed jre and the tables work as they should.
