Close OOo (including Quickstarter if it is on) and delete Recovery.xcu. Restart. On windows it should be located at: <...\Documents_and_Settings\<name>\Application_Data\OpenOffice.org2\user\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office> On linux - search from a terminal window: locate Recovery.xcu [Mind the caps in 'Recovery']. Should be in: /home/<user>/.openoffice.org2/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Recovery.xcu --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
