Some more information: I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 6.10 on a new partition (and prevented any updates from the original CD) and I now have OO working 100% on that system.
On both the OO/Ubuntu installs that have this conversion problem, if I go into Tools-Options-Charts-Default Colors I get the same error screen as when I try to open files: ---------- OpenOffice.org Document Recovery Due to an unexpected error, OpenOffice crashed....... ---------- On my working system, the Tools-Options-Charts-Default Colors brings up the Color map as expected. I'm beginning to suspect an issue with the underlying environment, with some Ubuntu update breaking something OO depends on. -- open office crashes on opening old files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/102335 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
