Thank you very much, Andrea! The tip in that User Profile tutorial seemed to work at first, but then I experienced another crash of the AOO program. At present, it does not seem to be as bad as before. I experience fewer program crashes than before. I wish this could be resolved completely. It's frustrating to be working on something and then having to restore the program. I still have to re-enter the password, but so far I haven't had to do a full reset of the password. Thank you again, so much, for responding and helping! Yours very truly, Paine In a message dated 11/14/2012 3:08:25 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, pesce...@apache.org writes:

Frequent crashes are often due to the first of our Known Issues: http://www.openoffice .org/development/releases/3.4.1.html#AOO3.4.1ReleaseNotes-KnownIssues Apache OpenOffice 3.4.0 and 3.4.1 manage the user profile differently than previous versions. The old user profile is automatically converted so that users can keep their extensions and settings. In a minority of cases, especially with highly customized profiles (many extensions or customizations) the conversion doesn't succeed. Common symptoms are: frequent application crashes, problems with dictionaries or thesaurus, OpenOffice starting and crashing after a few seconds. To solve this, just reset/rename your user profile as explained in the official OpenOffice forum. http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12426 Regards, Andrea.
