Open Office and / or Libre Office

[Jeffrey Gray]

I too have had buggy issues with openoffice.org and libreoffice.  I
never thought to uninstall the default install and reinstall from the
originals.  I just finally said to hell with it and installed XP in
virtualbox and run M$ Office out of there.
