I have a little problem. I have a database with contacts and I use that DB to print labels. In order to do that I click on New > Labels > ... When I printed the labels for the first time, there was a warning, that there is data from a database in the labels and if I wanted to use that. Well I clicked on yes, but I also checked "Do not display this warning again". So my question is, how can I get this warning displayed again, without deinstalling OpenOffice2, deleting all the Preferences in the Application Data an reinstalling OpenOffice2

There appears to no graceful way of doing this. Reinstalling OpenOffice would not help, I think, though deleting the configuration files would.

For a more delicate way of editing the configuration files back to how you want them, see:

Since you appear to be using Windows, you will find the relevant configuration file at Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2\user\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\Writer.xcu, where <user> is your user name. The above instruction suggests changing the value of "AskForMerge" in Writer.xcu from "false" to "true". Since it appears that the entry does not even appear before you select the rogue tick box, another option would presumably be to remove the entry for "AskForMerge" entirely. An even more extreme possibility would be to rename the Writer.xcu file (so that you could reinstate it if necessary) and then restart OpenOffice, hoping that it would create a clean copy for you.

You need to close OpenOffice and probably the Quickstarter before doing all this, of course. And you might want to keep a copy of Writer.xcu in case it all goes wrong.

Oh, and remember never to tick that box again!

I trust this helps.
