I followed the instructions in OOo help which do not say to unzip first. (The steps I outlined above came from OOo help.) Also note that I said I'm using Fedora Core 6 (a Linux distro). I did follow your instructions and this time multipages installed AND OOo 2.2.1 did not crash when exiting (I had tried doing what you suggested before - just from trying different things - but OOo would crash when I exited. This time it did not.) When I followed your instructions, multipages was automatically set as "enabled". Also, in the Linux version of OOo, there is no "open" only "add". Also, I've never installed an OOo quickstarter. I just don't understand why there are no instructions on the web site. I must have unzipped the Ianz extension first before installing it - just don't remember at this point.
