Hi Bob
Great that things are working for your!
Note that the file format changed between Openoffice 1 and 2, the new
version uses the opendocument format.
You can let OpenOffice 2.0 also save in Openoffice 1 format, if this
does not work then it is a bug.
The packages are made by Pavel Janik, see his weblog for information about
upcoming debian packages:
http://blog.janik.cz/
He is a tsjech so he always starts with the cz build,
but the rest is ready now. It usually follows a couple of hours after
the cz build.
I am currently using the english version which you can find at
ftp://ftp.linux.cz/pub/localization/OpenOffice.org/devel/680/SRC680_m84/Build-1/OOo_SRC680_m84_en-US_native_LinuxIntel_install_deb.tar.gz
sorry for the long line!
Don't know what language you want but there are lots at Pavel's ftp site.
I don't have problems with the fonts.
I installed the fonts from msoffice in my unix environment.
There are also some free ms fonts available, which you can use.
Hope this helps,
John
