My wife has used OpenOffice for several months. It is a terrible piece of software. It crashes when saving documents frequently leaving the documents corrupted and not able to open. I have heard many brag about OpenOffice but my experience has been terrible.

Are you sure you've got the right version for your computer and operating system and that it was correctly installed? My own experience with Open Office and Ubuntu has been very good.

And if it’s been more than about a week, there’s probably a new stable build available.
