Hi!

I would recommend to remove completely openoffice.org 2.0 provided in Ubuntu repositories and install original version using Alien. You can find several how-tos about installation of openoffice.org in this list. Version included in Ubuntu repositories contains many bugs especially in base and related components.

In an attempt to fix various problems in OOo I searched in Synaptic on
"openoffice" did a complete removal of everything installed. I also did
a complete removal of everything Synaptic showed as residual. Then I
deleted the .opernoffice.org2 folder in my home folder. My plan was to
eliminate any vestiges of OOo so that a new, fresh install would start
out without hangups. Then I installed OOo 2.2 (using the metapackage in
Synaptic), plus the hyphenation and help files.
When I launched it two things occurred:

1) It opened in the same window size that I had used before. The Styles
toolbar was floating off to the right, as I had used it before. 2) All the text in the menus appeared in some kind of symbol font

So the questions are:

1) If I want all vestiges of it to be gone, what do I have to delete
        besides the ~/.openoffice.org2 folder?
2) Where did that symbol font come from and what possessed OOo to think
        I would be able to read it?
