I certainly will read your revised instructions and try again, but I'm beginning to suspect problems with Ubuntu. A variety of things have gone wrong since I updated this machine to 11.04, and I'd had some odd problems before that. I don't think the same problems are occurring on other machines with clean 11.04 installs, so I may need to do something drastic with my main machine... when I can find time. --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
