Thank you NoOp. I appreciate the information. The bad experience I had 
was about 2 years ago with OpenOffice. I had updated that to a new 
version. Several months later Ubuntu had an upgrade, and they had the 
same version of Open Office I had upgraded to. I didn't think anything 
about it. When I went to use Calc, I had some of the strangest 
behaviors. For any formula, it always gave the wrong answers, even for 
very obvious ones, such as 2+2, or 2*25. The only way I got things 
working properly again was to uninstall OpenOffice completely, then I 
reinstalled the application directly from OpenOffice.
