Hello Philippe,

I use the Dutch version of OpenOffice.org 3.0.1 on my PowerBook (G4, Tiger)
without problem.
I'm not sure what may cause your problems...

I quote from a mail in the French users list ([email protected]):
about the famous method that solves almost anything...
Quit OOo (and the Quickstarter - probably not on Mac)
Rename the prefs file Library/Application Support/OpenOffice.org
(c:\documents and settings\Application Data\<nom d'usager>\Openoffice.org)
or put that file elsewhere, e.g. on the desktop
Restart OOo
OOo will make new preferences and maybe that will solve your problem...

I post this answer on the users list, not on the mac list that is more for
mac developers.
I send you a copy, since you're apparently subscribed to neither of these
lists.
