I had installed StarOffice 6, it would open up, but never save a document. If I opened up a MS Word doc it would crash. I then read that I had installed it incorrectly. I needed to install it using the workstation version, according to a discussion on MandrakeClub. So I removed the packages, and re-installed. It still came up in the same mode. The tip is to run the setup program /usr/lib/office60_en/setup, this then offers you the chance to remove all the files including the configuration ones. That is not the final bit though, under each user directory there is a file call .sversionrc, remove each one. Now you can run the StarOffice Setup from the Office-->Accessories menu. This time select workstation option. Hope it helps.

I chose the repair option and still had the same problem. I cant open word files. Can you refer me to the actual location where you got your info? Thanks for your help.
