I think that there is a general problem with the Ubuntu OOo wizard
macros and "think" that is has been fixed in Debian and will soon be
fixed in Ubuntu, see:

Note: These bugs do not appear in the OOo 2.2 version downloaded and
installed directly from openoffice.org. So if you need a working version
before a fix is released I'd recommend using the openoffice.org OOo 2.2
version.

 http://download.openoffice.org/2.2.0/index.html

Note: uncheck the "Include the Java JRE with this download" box - use
your own JRE directly from SUN. You *will* need JRE for Base :
<quote>
The Java Runtime Engine (JRE) is required for the Base (database)
component of OpenOffice.org as well as several other features. By
default the OpenOffice.org installer will install this additional piece
of software as well. For more information: Java & OpenOffice.org.
