Thanks, NoOp! Sometimes you amaze me with your knowledge of where to
find solutions!

 Hi Dotan,
 FWIW, the formula function works normally on Debian Lenny using OOo2.4.1. I
 can create formulae either from the File-New-Formula route or the
 Insert-Object-Formula route (the one you describe). I should mention that
 I get my updates via Openoffice's own automatic update feature and not
 (directly) from Debian packages. Sorry I don't know anything about Kubuntu
 but I thought it was similar to Debian. I guess not in this case.

Just to be a bit oblique since I'm being more of a generic Linux
response, not OO.o specifically. Ubuntu (Kubuntu, ...) are all
distributed in a live CD format that limits what can be available out
of the box. Some other Linux distros provide installation DVDs. But,
Canonical (Ubuntu's parent company) maintains full archives of many of
the products that might not be available on the CDs. And, this is also
true on other Linux distros.
