I've checked under «Tools» → «Extensions» and not found any installed extensions. Am I missing something ? > > 2.

I've noticed that the latest OOo 3.0 version from the download pages seems to be 3.0.0-18 ; would you suggest that I try to install that (not the simplest process in the world, given that I'm running an AMD 64 X machine) ? Before writing to the forum I tried to resolve my problem by installing the LinuxX86-64_install_sv_deb.tar.gz package after uninstalling my present setup, but the resulting package didn't work. I suspect that the Swedish package does not contain all the requisite packages and that it must be installed on top of a LinuxX86-64_install_en_US_deb.tar.gz package. Are am I barking up the wrong tree ?...
