i followed the instructions in eric's how to and downloaded java 1.5. it worked! fonts and formatting are back, etc...
thanks for your help.

unfortunately, the cut and paste doesn't work at all again. i tried copying from a web page and an email and pasting in to open office and it didn't work. i was able to cut and paste the same thing in to word.

i have to make a decision very soon about what word processing program i go with. i am now spending more time trying to use my software than doing work. can't afford that anymore. (is it a coincidence that cutting and pasting is a problem with mozilla and thunderbird as well)?

is this a recognised problem and if so is it likely to be fixed soon?
thank you.

hi again,

after installing the updated OOo all the fonts have disappeared so when i open up existing documents the formatting is all out of whack! aaagh.
i have to get this document out the door today.

i added fonts previously by installing fondu. i have searched the web but can't find the instructions i used before. i don't need to reinstall
fondu but how do i get OOo to recognise all the available fonts?

thanks to all of you who take the time to answer all these questions!
very generous.
Anne
