Add to Notebook crashes OOo

[carandol]

I installed WriterTools today (and bought the manual!) and it seems
like it's going to be very useful to me, but for one thing. If I paste
more than about 50 words into the Notebook (using the "Add to
Notebook" menu item, OOo freezes and I have to kill the process to get
out of it. It works fine with smaller snippets of text. This is using
OpenOffice.org 3.1 in Ubuntu 9.10. I've tried uninstalling and
reinstalling WriterTools, but no joy. Any help appreciated!

Hello,

It might have something to do with the version of OpenOffice.org that
ships with Ubuntu 9.10. The version that comes with Karmic Koala is
based on the OOo-Go fork. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 with the stock
version, and I have no problem adding large text snippets to the
notebook. You can use the script bellow to install the stock version
of OpenOffice.org 3.1.1 on your system. Copy the script, paste it into
a text file, and save it as installooo.sh. In the terminal, execute
the sh installooo.sh command. Before you do that, use the Synaptic
package manager to remove the installed version of OpenOffice.org and
all related packages.

Hope this helps.

I've removed OOo, but when I tried to install the stock OOo, I got the
following errors:

Hello,

It looks like Google Groups mangled the script. I've attached the
script to this message with CC to your email address.

Kind regards,
Dmitri

Thanks. As I said in email, I'm not having much luck with the new
version of OOo. I've finally got it working by deleting
the .openoffice.org directory from Home, but now I've got no
Quickstarter, and it looks like installing it from Synaptic will
probably screw up my OOo installation. Also I now have to reinstall
all my other plugins and setup all my preferences again. The Notebook
in Writer Tools *is* now working properly, but I'm not sure it was
worth messing up the rest of my office installation for. Time I went
to bed.
