CP, I mentioned a while back that I discovered that RH up2date overwrites certain files of OOo installed from OpenOffice.org images. Makes an ugly mess and the only solution I have found to completely remove what RH thinks as 2.0 and re-install from the OOo download set. Perhaps this is what occurred to Andrew. Hope this helps. -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST.
