I uninstalled an earlier build of AOO (build 9583) from Win XP (SP2), deleted the User profile, reboted, then installed the version linked above. The install went OK and all the applications opened correctly, with the exception of Writer, which opened but displayed a blank menu with no menu entries and three dropdown arrow boxes for expanding toolbars. These permit access to the Customise menu options, but there are no predefined menus or toolbars offered. I deleted the User profile (again!) and rebooted, but there was no change to the Writer menu and toolbars - still missing. It is possible to construct a new toolbar and new menu using the options on the Customise menu dropdown, and such toolbar and menu is persistent when AOO is closed and reopened. I have tried reducing screen resolution from 1600x1200 to 1024x768; no effect. The machine this is on is not in use for editing or other AOO functions, so I have no objection to trying any fixes or diagnostics. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie>
