I had the same thing happen and could never figure out what went wrong, but in the course of my looking I realized that the current version of staroffice is not 3.1, but 5.0. It's on sunsite somewhere and installed cleanly for me. However, 5.0 seemed to me a little on the bloatware side; I also realized that most of the typesetting part of my wordprocessing for school could be done very nicely with TeX (or LaTeX) with about five typesetting commands in a document of any given size. So I wound up not using it after all the effor I went through to get it. Good thing it was free. Rob -- Truth is the most valuable thing we have -- so let us economize it. -- Mark Twain
