Hello Clare, Very strange. On my OOo 3.2 on iMac, I have a normal sized window (12,5 x 9 cm), with boxes for Find and Replace, and several buttons and checkboxes. Your Find window seems corrupted. Did you try a restart of OOo (and maybe Mac too)? What about updating to 3.2, now available on www.openoffice.org? (it seems there's a wrong link in the download page - better go to other platforms and languages and make your choice there...) For the quotes question... I don't know what to do when indeed the option is OK under Tools > Options for Autocorrection > Typographical quotes Did you look also under Format > AutoCorrection about when to apply the correction?
