No, perhaps using an other word processor (AbiWord, StarOffice). Or
going back to OOo 2.3.0...
This has been discussed within the last two weeks on the
openoffice@ list. A message from Peter Jeremy on December 14
contains both information about the cause and a patch.

I am not an OpenOffice user but my 2c about the topic as the problem I
think underline more serous issue.
The question is why is OpenOffice 2.3.1 included in the ports three so
quickly without making sure that things work properly.
BSD systems are genuinely known for their stability and code correctness
which is why most people decided to use them on the first place.
Rushing to include new software in the ports three without proper
testing is seriously going to damage usability of the whole OS.
In my understanding ports tree is supporting stable and the current
brunch. I am of the opinion that the ports three of the stable
branch should not include nothing but the rock solid and tested
software. The easiest way for me to check if the port is bleeding
edge that is to try to install the same software using binaries.
(pkg_add -r) If the binaries do not exist or if the version installed
from binaries is older that clearly indicates that the port version is
too new to be trusted.
I personally found out that Xfce4-panel is not compiling properly on
stable and also Orage (calendar for Xfce) While
problems with Xfce4-panel are not as serious as with Orage (which is
not usable in any shape or form on FreeBSD) they are still serious.
The same packages work flawlessly on the OpenBSD.
Happy New Year to Everybody
