I complained about this when I first installed 2.3. Then I was directed to a URL that specified that was a problem in 2.3. (By the way, I have WinXP Pro) Well, I could not tolerate that because my Newsletters, Business meeting minutes, business letterhead, etc. all extensively use Fontworks. So I asked how I could use 2.2.1 and 2.3 together on the same OS and hard drive. I was given instructions that didn't work. So now I have 2.3 AND OOo 2.2.1 Portable installed on the same hard drive. I popped a desktop shortcut icon for 2.2.1. So now I have icons for 2.2.1 (write only) and 2.3 on the desktop You can get portable OpenOffice.org 2.2.1 at http://portableapps.com/apps/office/openoffice_portable and it is not a crippled version either. This portable version is designed to operate, fully functional from a standard (non-U3) USB flash drive.
I was just going to send an email asking when this problem will be resolved, but your post made it handy.
