You are on the right track Meg. Make sure OOo is closed, including quickstarter in the taskbar tray, then rename the folder "Documents and Settings\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2". I would suggest something like: "Documents and Settings\Application Data\xOpenOffice.xxx". This will enable you to restore things later if necessary. Start OOo (say Writer) and you should see the first time use dialogues. Step through these as you please, then open an existing document that has been causing you problems and see if the issue has been resolved. Obliviously, you will not have retained any of your previously personalised preferences, but it should not be a major problem to reconfigure them. If the problem has been resolved you can then delete the previously renamed folder.
