When I highlight, the the cut and copy icons light up both in the bar
and in the Edit box. When I put the cursor at the place where I want to
paste, all three (cut, copy & paste) are shadowed. When I go to the
Edit box, the cut, copy, paste, paste special and select text are all
shadowed. Stuck again.

Is the file read-only? OOo does that if it cannot write to the file.
Since you are on XP, I wonder what user rights you have on your home
directory. Try using Windows Explorer to examine C:\Documents and
Setting\francine\Application Data\ ,where francine is an example
username, for access rights. You may have to enable display of hidden
stuff, if I remember correctly. OOo stores data in this directory
including temp files so you can see how not being able to write here
would present a problem.
Sorry to tell you this but our problems are different so I will wait to
file my issue. If this is still reproducible after you ensure you can
write in your home directory, please consider filing an issue of your
own. Here's how:
Get yourself registered by doing the following:
1. To file an issue you must register with OOo by clicking the
My Pages tab and selecting the Register link
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/Join
2. Fill in your information
3. Reply to the confirmation email that will be sent to the address
you provided.
4. Once you have confirmed, go to www.openoffice.org again
5. And click on the "My Pages" tab from which you can file and find
issues.
Also I would prefer any further communication to take place on the list.
There are many XP users there who can help with better info than I can.
