No dice on the changing the default save type either. I started a new Writer
document after changing the Options/Load-Save... and it still freezes up.

Hi :)  Sounds like a bad install somewhere then.  Can the problem one  be
reinstalled or updated?  Perhaps from a different PPA?  Which is the
recommended
PPA now?

I tend to use the Tools menu to set the default to always use ".doc"
although
now that MicroSquish Office 2007 & 2010 can open ".odt" it is less of an
issue
except for old Word users.  Anyway, to change the defaults ...

Tools - Options - Load/Save - General
Then change the drop-down lists at the bottom by rolling up 1 or 2 places
avoiding the "Template" options.  So,
"Text Document" = Word (98/2000/Xp)
"Spreadsheet"     = Excel  (98/2000/Xp)
"Presentation"     = PowerPoint (98/2000/Xp)

One better tactic, that would benefit us, is to use odt and when you email
people your documents give them the LibreOffice download link
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/
Does this page cleverly know which operating system you are using?  Does it
give
the right download for your OS like Firefox & OpenOffice do?

Many regards from
Tom :)

I can choose from the usual long list of formats, but when I choose .doc
(97/2000/XP) or .docx (2007) the Writer app hangs up. In my Gnome Ubuntu
10.04 that means the app "goes gray" as if it's thinking hard, but it
never
recovers. I kill Writer and restart, which gives me the recover option.
All
is good with recovery. I try a .odt save and that works. Would like .doc
save, though....


I just opened a ODT file and used the save as option.  I choose the .doc
file type and added the .doc extension to the file name.
It worked for me.  No graying out.  I use the current version RC3
on Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit.

Where is the problem?
Can you read a message? Or is the problem in the dialog box?

Have a nice day.
