Hello Chris<<> You might be able to clear up the issue by removing ~/.openoffice.org2> directory. Compiz is the visual effects program in Ubuntu, sometimes> setting visual effects to none corrects problems.>>Does Ubuntu Studio come with this right out of installation?  I don't recall anything by that name, but I DO recall a 'visual effects' tab in preference for setting up the desktop.  I did set that to 'none' when I had other problems.  But I made that adjustment AFTER the problem happened with Open Office Writer.<< OpenOffice.org is> known to have several problems when visual effects is turned on.
