Thanks for all the responses, but it's still not working. I've used the control v, but I still can't paste. When I go to the "Edit" menu in OO.o AND in X11, the "Paste" option is grayed out in both places. I can past into all the OTHER apps. Just not the X11 Window with my OO document. I also tried changing the last checkmark under the X11 prefs. No luck.
I'm getting sort of desperate, because I spend a LOT of time moving info back and forth. The inability to paste things into my documents is a deal-killer. It makes OO.o unusable. ANY other ideas? Please? I'd hate to be forced to install Parallels and XP JUST so I can run the Windows version of OO.org. I just bought my Macbook about a month ago.

And if you alter your X11 settings for input by removing the last checkmark under Perferences/Input, you can use EITHER the Apple or Control key to perform these functions. The other code is already built into OpenOffice.org for the Mac to accept the meta input. I use it in QA testing and have since I found this trick about 2.0 time. This does not work for 1.1.x.
