On a fresh install that I just did with Ubuntu 8.10 I went to the macro
tab and it popped up a warning:

"
JRE REQUIRED

OpenOffice.org requires a Java runtime environment (JRE) to perform
the task. Please install a JRE and restart OpenOffice.org.
Please install the openoffice.org-java-common package for this
functionality.
"

At this point it got stuck in a loop where I could not close the popup
which is another bug already filed launchpad bug 237029 and has already
been sent upstream.

I then dist-upgraded my system to current intrepid-updates:

no change as expected

I then installed openoffice.org-java-common (which installed default-
jre-headless):

worked completely fine after that...

So it looks like you may need to move/remove your ~/.openoffice.org2
directory and/or install default-jre to replace the sun-java, but in any
case it works fine from a fresh install and not using sun-java.

** Changed in: openoffice.org (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Invalid
