Joe,

I've never seen this happen, but I don't use MS Office much. I suggest, 
if no one on the OLUG list can help you, that you go here:

http://support.openoffice.org/index.html

and pose your question on a help forum or mailing list. Specifically, 
the user mail list is very active and you're likely to find help there.
