This is a mac specific issue with the documentation and location of the preferences. On all other OSes it is at "Tools" > "Prefences", whilst on the mac, to be consistent with other apps it is "OpenOffice.org" > "Preferences". Long term mac users understand this minor difference, however the people reading the documentation probably don't.
There is a ticket, but I can't find it, for having two routes to the preferences dialog. First the Mac method, and second the ooo method. This way the documentation will be correct, and doesn't need fixing. It is also better as people giving support on other platforms will find it easier.
