In OpenOfice, when I click on PAGE PREVIEW to look at a document right

Anyone have any ideas why?
It's nothing to do with your hardware. OpenOffice requires an open
source GUI known as X-Windows or X11. Sadly, the X11 that was
shipped with Leopard has 'issues' and needs to be updated, yet Apple
has held back from putting a newer X11 into Software Update. The
latest X11 for Leopard may be found here: http://trac.macosforge.org/
projects/xquartz/wiki/Releases . This is currently at 2.1.0.1,
though new versions come out almost daily. Anyway, try installing
that package, then let us know if it's still slow to display.

Hmmmm, now where did I put that tagline?
