Missing commands and weird behavior under Hoary Openoffice

Hello all. I just sat down to try to get some work done on my Thesis.
This is first time I have really attempted this under Linux, being a
relatively recent Windows immigrant. There are lots of items missing
from the Insert menu. I noticed this because I was trying to insert a
page break, and I could not find the option where it normally is,
under the Insert menu. I then tried adding it to various menus, which
seemed to succeed, but leads to a very large and ugly "Insert Manual
Page Break" item on my menu. I thought maybe the items had been moved
to a different menu, but they are nowhere to be found.
Also, the text I type is always double spaced, even when I have it
explicitly set to single-spacing. I was running OOo 1.1.3 on Windows,
and my roommate is running it on SuSe, and the menus for both of them
are appropriately laid out. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
I am kinda frustrated, because now I have to go boot into Windows
just to do my work.
For information's sake, I am running OOo 1.1.3-2.3ubuntu6 on a
frequently updated Hoary. I may have written a paper on Ubuntu last
semester and had everything working, but I don't really remember. I
think I ended up booting into Windows because I the paper was in
German and I couldn't get the keyboard to switch layouts so I could
type umlaute (I have since gotten all that working).
Anyway, can anyone confirm this problem? Is this already known?
Should I file a report with Bugzilla?
Kent
