Hi James- Thank you for responding to my dilemma - this ocurred when I installed the latest version of OpenOffice, is it 2.4, the release without bugs, I believe. It is freaky that you have never seen these, but I guess it means that I did something totally wrong (?) What should it have looked like? I get worried about installing new programs because in the past I have thought I would have some intuitive sense. I have read a lot about OpenOffice and I admire your work and dedication. Do you think you can help? I appreciate your time.
