Thanks for taking the time to test that. I do not have Quickstarter at all, because this is on Ubuntu Edgy amd64. There is no Quickstarter for this platform. Any anyway, I have completely restarted the computer many times and it does not change anything. I should add that drag and drop text editing is also broken. Neither of these issues were problems when I had version 2.02. It is clear to me that there is some kind of bug in the version 2.04 that I have. I went to openoffice.org thinking I would file a bug report about it, but I'll be darned if I can find the page where you file bug reports. I also thought I would check out the possibility of installing 2.10. The only version listed in the repositories that I have in my sources.list file is 2.04, so if I am going to install 2.10 I need to find an appropriate .deb file. I went all over openoffice.org and I can't find one word anywhere about what architecture the download files are for. I can download a tar.gz file for 2.10, but it doesn't say if it will install on a 64-bit Linux distribution. I also completely reinstalled OOo 2.04, but the problem continues. I also asked on the Ubuntu amd-64 forums, but received no response. Evidently no other Ubuntu 64-bit user has these problems. Thanks to you and noOp for your help. Still scratching my head. :( --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
