It also has a similar problem with .doc files, where it goes into an infinite loop, uses 100% CPU and will not save the file. That cost me many hours of work last night, which I didnt need when those assignments are already overdue :(Yep it seems it's a known bug, looking through the bug reports they don't seem to be in any of a hurry to fix it :-P Maybe it might be a good idea to create the document in OpenDocument format and then when it's complete then save it as a PDF (or .doc file, if you can, I presume from your Facebook post earlier that you've installed Abiword?).LaTeX, a decent editor and produce PDFs.

Or for those of who are too lazy?There's that LaTeX GUI editor isn't there? Can never remember the name of it. But to be honest I rarely use OOo anyway so I'm happy to stick with OpenOffice (or LibreOffice as I've now got on Mint 11).
