Marc,
Your original problem is the very reason I just sent
my email today entitled "OpenOffice.org 2.0 users
beware!". This explains that the libfreetype6
security upgrade causes the saving problem and that
you must downgrade to the previous version and hold
that package using aptitude. Download the older
version here:
http://ftp.debian.org/pool/main/f/freetype/
select your arch and download version 2.1.7-2.4. Then
install using dpgk -i.
