Hi Jerry, I am not aware of such a problem.
How do you try to open the documents (file/open?), and what exactly happens? BTW - before going back to 3.0 (there are download sites with old versions), you should give 3.2 BETA a try. Should run much better on Netbooks! Malte. [email protected] wrote, On 11/14/09 19:26: > I had been using OO 3.0 successfully and happily. But upon downloading OO > 3.1 only problems.
