"do you have lo-menubar package installed? If yes, could you uninstall it and try again?"
I was surprised to see LO menubar was not installed. This was a default 12.10 install. I just let it all install and ran it raw. Thought I'd give the global menus one last shot. You know how it is when you develop a dislike of something, you can get a sort of preconception that you don't like it for what turns out to be no real reason in the end? So, 12.10 default install. Global menus definitely very squiffy, even after logout / reboot / full update the whole nine yards. Some items (sorry only one specific from memory - the save as - there were several more) simply no function from the mouse. The menu 'accepted' the item - ie disappeared - but no function occurred. Thing is you're asking me to reinstall the only bit of unity that is actually duff... Still I'm an even handed sort of geezer, so I'll give it a go, but I'm going flying tomorrow, so short delay. more important though is the .doc bug in LO... - regardless of OS -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to openoffice.org in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/626827 Title: [Upstream] Saving to .doc format copies first page header onto all others Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Invalid Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org Binary package hint: libreoffice 1) Natty: lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu Natty (development branch) Release: 11.04 Maverick: lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 10.10 Release: 10.10 2) Natty: apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer libreoffice-writer: Installed: 1:3.3.1-1ubuntu5 Candidate: 1:3.3.1-1ubuntu5 Version table: *** 1:3.3.1-1ubuntu5 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Maverick: apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer libreoffice-writer: Installed: 1:3.3.1-1ubuntu3~maverick1 Candidate: 1:3.3.1-1ubuntu3~maverick1 Version table: *** 1:3.3.1-1ubuntu3~maverick1 0 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu/ maverick/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) What is expected is when one performs at the Terminal: cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/626827/+attachment/1871555/+files/05%20Orfanosentel%20bug.doc && lowriter -nologo 05\ Orfanosentel\ bug.doc Click File -> Save As -> File name: 05 Orfanosentel bug.doc -> File type: Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP (.doc) -> Save button -> Yes button -> Keep Current Format button -> close the document -> reopen the document the headers remain as they were when first downloaded. 4) What happened instead is that the header from the first page is inserted in the header of all subsequent pages.
