I found that all the wizards were horribly slow to start. I think they rely on java, and the default java in breezy is the "Free " one, which I think has some maturing to do... I found installing sunj2re improved matters somewhat. The wizards are still, um, rather unresponsive.
There's also a "Java" section in openoffice2 under Tools -Options -Java where you can specify which java installation to use.
Probably the easiest way to get java (other than the default version) is to install
j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin
which will pull in the runtime stuff: in this case Blackdown java. This is in "multiverse". If you want the whole Sun java disaster, read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats for instructions, or visit #ubuntu on irc.freenode.net and ask the bot about "javadeb" ;) ( /msg ubotu javadeb )
If you decide to install a different runtime, make sure you run
sudo update-alternatives --config java
afterwards ( that will tell the system which java to use and it's very easy, you just type a number to identify your preference)
