Vent frustration
We have been trying to complete a 50 page report. The report is mostly text
with numerous figures.
The Openoffice 2.0 is practically unusable. It hangs the computer, it aborts,
it looses figures (gif images). It does this every 15 to 30 min. It is
impossible to use. It make MS Word look wonderful.
OpenOffice series 1 was far more stable. Series 2 is very buggy giving
continous failures.
Version info from help:

Hi
Are you running on Ubuntu OS? If so, I have had numerous problems with
the version of OO that installs with the OS of exactly the kind of thing
you seem to be experiencing. The solution has been to download OO from
the OO website, convert to .deb files and do a manual install. Also make
sure you download and use JRE 1.5.0 and not 1.4.x.
I have had a fair amount of frustration, but now it seems ok after doing
this. I tested this out on several platforms, ie same version of OO on
Windows, Linux Mandrake, SuSE and I'm sure it's not an OO issue.
