Hello Chris and everybody > We are closing this bug report because it lacks the information we need > to investigate the problem, as described in the previous comments.....
Recently I carried out an 'install from scratch' at a laptop, from O.O. Writer 2.4.1., together with the rest of the Kubuntu 8.10 distro. The first working sessions at that configuration revealed that O.O. Writer does function properly there, including the 'Styles and Formatting Menu'. So, I took into account that experience when fixing the problem at the desktop - the problem reported to you via the dossier "Bug #317195". I DID manage to solve it as follows: simply removing and immediately reinstalling OpenOffice.org. First I removed the existing OpenOffice configuration via a terminal command suggested by you: rm -rf ~/.openoffice.org ~/.openoffice.org2 Then, I gave in this command: "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org". After giving in my root password, the rest of the re-installation process went on smoothly. In the freshly installed O.O. Writer at the desktop, the 'styles and formatting' menu functions perfectly well. Probably, the problem has come into being after changing a few settings within OO Writer via TOOLS>OPTIONS>OpenOffice Writer>Formatting aids. But I cannot reconstruct any more which mistake I made exactly. However it may be: it is perfectly OK for me to close down the dossier "Bug #317195", because the problem has been solved now anyway. The only question remaining now is: is there a way to file the experience described above, in such a way that it can also be useful by others who might experience the same problem?
