You do realise that the /home/ files are in a "hidden" directory, using
.openoffice.org2/ in my current installation (gentoo, but I used to run
Mandriva)?
I use KDE and one can set konqueror to "Show hidden files" I'm not sure
about under gnome.

In gnome it's Ctl+ h to show hidden files in nautilus
I forget how Nautilus works, but the hidden folders and files may not be
visible in the left panel. You need to select alaric (or other name of your
/home folder) in the left panel and the folder will show up in the right
panel. It is NOT named user. The user folder is contained within a folder
named something like .openoffice (IIRC, Mandriva uses a simple name like
that).
I just now altered one of the settings in my Options and found the following
three files changed:
~/.openoffice.org2/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Writer.xcu,
Common.xcu and Calc.xcu
I know (from the User Guide or Setup Guide) that it is in order to rename
Common.xcu and I doubt that special privileges attach to the other two. You
might look at the file permissions - they should all be rw-r-r Perchance,
you do not have write permissions, in which case you need to use chmod -R
u+w /home/alaric/.openoffice.org2
Thanks. I have found it and it is set to CG Times. I will try again to
change it in Tolls -> Options and if that fails I might try renaming the
file, copying it and (with heart in mouth) edit it with emacs or
something similar. I haven't tried that before but I suppose I can try
anything once. I had already checked permissions. I have changed to
the Midnight Commander view which does show hidden files. The various
variant views in KDE all return a blank for hidden files. The right
pane is blank and the bar at the bottom says 'No Files, No Folders'
