Thanks, that workaround works, but it gave me an idea (which I should have tried earlier!). I removed my .openoffice.org directory and started afresh, and the problem did not arise at first. So I looked at what the differences were between my existing settings and the default case. After many false starts, it appears that on my system, the loop does not appear so long as all I do is start and stop OOo after a clean new user setup. As soon as I do anything at all, the loop can be triggered, not necessarily during the first invocation, but on the second and later ones. For instance, just adding a single character to the initial empty document, and then discarding it on exit, instead of saving it, causes the next invocation of OOo to go straight into a loop on a new empty document. In all these cases, I start the writer with openoffice.org-2.0 -writer It has all the hallmarks of an uninitialised variable, making it totally dependent on local circumstances.
