Open Office crashes on the introduction screen when I attempt to open "writer". I have been able to open other types of documents "draw" or "impress" and then open a text document from "File --> New --> Text Document". I was then able to open a file and save it in .doc format without crashing! I was then able to make changes and add notes to a file without saving it. This is great news so far, and thanks for the suggestions above.

I did a search in Synaptic, and it looks as if I do have sun-java6-jre, sun-java5-jre, and "default-jre-headless" all installed. Would deleting one of these solve my problem (which is still a problem, but not as severe as before).

I didn't get any error message on installation that I'm aware of.

Thanks!
