    Jacob thank you for posting the list of new packages to be installed. I
    installed OOo along time ago and have just been updating and upgrading since
    then. My problem was the package "myspell-en-us" was not installed - I guess
    a dependancy got lost somewhere during upgrading. Everything is working fine
    now:)

    thanks again
