You could always try updating; the issue may have been fixed already. The way to debug it as a software error is to open the source and find the file and line (line 2248 in a file called "gtype.c" and see what the assertion is that fails. I'm in the middle of building OpenOffice 3, so I don't have the disk space available to look at older versions. gtype.c doesn't exist in my tree for version 3. Going to an OpenOffice support forum might also be appropriate. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/
