Nikola, you gave me a least common denominator idea.  The the  
computers, keyboards, versions of OpenOffice are all different, but  
they are all running KDE.  On my laptop, I have gnome installed and I  
keep it up to date although I don't use it.  I switched to gnome and  
the same OpenOffice works perfectly.

Now I really don't know where to go.  Gotta think about it.

Thanks for all your help.  I feel that I'm getting closer.
