That's too bad. I noticed a similar but opposite problem with MS Word 2007. If you double-click the menu in the top-left, the program crashed without saving any changes :-(. Unfortunately it was often a double-whammy if you are trying to do a "save as..." and accidently double-click! Was the entire OpenOffice Writer application unresponsive when you were trying to close it? Usually a "kill -9" will kill the application, unless the application is stuck in the kernel (shows up as in "D" state when doing a "ps -ax". -Mark C. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
