Praedor was having problems with trying to save his presentation, and 
apparently getting corruption.  I can't remember the details, I'm sure he 
will fill you in.

I had found problems if I tried to have two fairly large (about 60-70 page) 
Starwriter documents open at the same time.  This apparently resulted in 
corruption of the files, and I could no longer open them once that had 
happened.  Others checked the files for me, and found that they could open 
them singly, but confirmed my problem with opening them both at the same 
time.

When I found the patch I was unclear as to what it would do, other than it was 
supposed to have some bug fixes, and I had nothing to lose.  In the event it 
seems that the major change is to improve the handling of Asian fonts, but 
the bug fixes seem to have cured my problem, as I can now open the two files 
that caused my original problem and cut and paste between them without any 
problem whatsoever.
