Sounds like pretty well the same as my problem - crudely, the .xlc file appears to be a list of .xlb library files, and one of that list points to an old, defunct, installation directory. The config files look complex to my uninitiated eye. I wonder if there's any mileage in having a consistency checker available, which might catch this sort of error? I don't know if it's any help to anyone, but when upgrading I opted for the 'parallel' installation, so had 1.1.4 (?) as well as 2.0 on my system. I also requested my settings be imported from the old version. I didn't try 'draw' until after removing the old OOo version -- maybe it would have worked correctly till then. I'm /almost/ sure that "writer" has been saving OK all the time though, but having fixed things, can't easily check now. Anyway, I now know where to look to fix this fault, and have even looked through the manual - a lot of work there!
