Hello Jean, With all due respect for your efforts and that of others, I think further support of OOo is a lost cause.
I feel that all of this effort is better utilized supporting LibreOffice. And in urging those still using OpenOffice.org to install LibreOffice-3.3.2 which is an improved product with a future and worthy of support. Best regards, Richard.
