Ian, the version you are running is actually an "Ubuntu'ized" version of OOo. That OOo has been modifed by Ubuntu and is not exactly the same as the version from http://openoffice.org. I recommend that you do two things: 1. File an Ubuntu bug on launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openoffice/+bugs 2. If you feel ambitious; install OOo 2.2 directly from the http://openoffice.org files. You can search this list on how to do so, or let me know and I'll be happy to send you instructions directly. Also have a look at the bug that I filed some time ago regarding the Ubuntu address books: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/93546 Gary --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
