Comment 8 for bug 474844

jimav, this issue is unreproducible in LibreOffice Calc. Does this occur for you in LibreOffice? If so could you please post a screenshot of the runtime error? If using Lucid or Maverick feel free to type at the Terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo apt-get -y install libreoffice-writer
