I guess that you've not tried the File|Wizards|Document Converter yet... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/93002 or File|Wizards|Address Data Source yet & checked for any other address sources other than Evolution, Groupwise, Evolution LDAP Other... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/93546 In > Tools > Options > Compatibility every new document starts out with "Use > Printer Metrics" checked.

I think you mean: Tools|Options|OpenOffice.org Writer|Compatibility "Use printer metrics for document formating" is not checked on my Ubuntuized 2.2. when I open a new document or when I open an old document (including a MS Word doc). I think you need to remove your .openoffice.org2 directory and start with a fresh profile. > > I want to rip that feature out of OpenOffice by the entrails and feed > it to a starving wolf. > > OK, supposedly I can set this as the default by clicking on the button > Set as Default.
