Thanks Terry ! I use FF 2.0 (also in the version included with Ubuntu 6.10) as my browser. I have no problem whatever when pasting from one OpenOffice document to another ; I haven't had occasion to attempt pasting into another text editor....
Naive as I am, I had presumed that the version of OOo included with Ubuntu 6.10 was identical with that available on the OOo site. Is this an illusion ? Is there any way to come 'round this problem ?... Henri PS : The restored versions of the documents I had lost were, as far as I could determine, identical to their predecessors.... 2006/12/14, Terry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

If I then open OOo, I receive an invitation to reconstruct these windows. I am using an OOo 2.0 version on Ubuntu 6.10 (which version I am not sure, presumably a 2.0.4, but it looks like a 2.0 to me). Is this unique to me, or is the phenomenon well known in OpenOffice circles ? It may very well be a Ubuntu rather than an OpenOffice problem, but in any event it certainly is annoying.... > > Henri The problem does not occur using the official version 2.0.2, either with Firefox or Thunderbird. There have been a number of reports of problems involving the Debian and Ubuntu versions. Which browser are you using? Do you have any problem when pasting into a text editor? The problem could be related to your browser settings folder. I had to restore an older version of mine recently because of other problems. BTW, I would decline the invitation to recover open documents until you have made backup copies of the saved versions. The recovered versions may have less data. -- Xfce on PCLinuxOS, OOo 2.0.2 (en_GB). Direct mail to teaman is not opened; if necessary, email realmail.
