Can you confirm this when running a different window manager? Also, do you experience this in OpenOffice.org Calc only, or also in Writer, Impress, etc.?

Thanks for the reply Gabe,
 This only happens in OpenOffice Calc only. The other programmes are fine I only have ubuntu on desktop computer so I don't know what it would act like in windows. It was working just fine and I really think I must have done something to it when I was trying to reset the print area and size. That's when it screwed up and I just can't get the screen to reset back to its original settings.
      Thanks,
      Gene

Can you confirm this when running a different window manager? Also, do
you experience this in OpenOffice.org Calc only, or also in Writer,
Impress, etc.?

Gabe,
 I just resolved the problem. The trouble is I am not sure how I fixed
it. I was messing around with "full screen" view and the window menu bar
came back and stayed this time. The good news is it is working as it
should.
  Thanks for your time and efforts and I'll try to be more careful in
the future.

  Cheers,
  Gene

Bugs shouldn't really be marked as fixed committed unless some kind of patch was uploaded into the repositories that fixed the bug. This is more of an invalid bug, as the problem resolved itself.

I'm sorry about that. I am not very well versed in how to ask for help or what to call problems I did send the problem in two different places. I really need to get my son to educate me on the proper use of these help systems. I think the idea of people helping people is fantastic. I'll try to find out the proper channels before I start sending issues out again.
      Again, sorry about that,

Don't worry about it, and don't hesitate to file bugs in the future for problems you have. It's average users like you that can really make Ubuntu a better product by letting developers know where they can improve the software.

As far as getting help goes, the Ubuntu community is more than happy to help you with anything you need. Although bug reports are not a good place to get assistance, Launchpad answers or ubuntuforums.org are great resources.

Thanks.
