Comment 5 for bug 153338

I can confirm this too. Printing also causes it to crash, as well as selecting Options under the Tools menu and then selecting any option other than what initially displays. This version of Openoffice is completely unusable!

I de-installed it (completely) and re-installed it and this hasn't fixed it. There must be a missing dependency that is not listed in the 'deb' files. I plan to download a vanilla version from OpenOffice.org and install in /usr/local. Perhaps it's just the debian packages that are bad.

If this doesn't work, I'll install a vanilla 2.2 version.
