Tried some more things:
I DID upgrade to 3.6. After presenting me a whole bunch of new errors 
this is now running.
Copy from Writer -> Calc ... so far either totally impossible, or after 
removing any and all conceivable "formatting settings",
working with text only, same font and size set in Writer/Calc -> worked 
sometimes with "paste unformatted text"

After upgrading to 3.6 -> The copy action now "works", but although the 
plain text in both Writer + Calc is set to
MS P Gothic (the font actually does not matter, I tried a number of 
different fonts) 10.5 points (Japanese text in BOTH Writer + Calc)
-> copying a piece of plain text is now possible, but now the font 
insists on being 6.8 points = unintelligibly small!

Actually, just now I was forced to work with notebook PC running Windows 
7 (which I use rarely) and still has 3.4.5 in it
copy + paste causes no problems.
Neither does copy + paste cause any problems using Openoffice.

Is this now a problem with the OS (Windows XP)?
If it is, what is the big difference between OpenOffice and LibreOffice 
here?
Any ideas as to look where and for what?
