Re: A couple of OpenOffice questions

[Joanmarie Diggs <j-diggs comcast net>]

Hi Peter and Krister.

Actually, things with the OOo 2.0.3 that comes with Ubuntu Edgy are, at
the moment, pretty bad.  The act of saving a file reliably causes an
immediate crash followed by the document recovery process.  Bleeding
edge and all....

Krister, in answer to your question: When the crash occurs, the Save
dialog is present; it simply doesn't have focus.  So you can Alt Tab
into it.  After you save your document, you can work your way out of the
resulting recovery dialogs.  Personally, I can't be bothered.  <smile>
What I've done instead is installed OOo from openoffice.org.  It's quite
stable and solves the problem in question.

Hope this helps!
Joanie
