Now I can reset all my menu's for OOo2.2 usage, and not have the next run of smart "fix" them all right up by re-installing OOo-2.0.4 for the 3rd time. Yeah, that's been another sore point at the old coyotes den here in WV. But I have to ask again, where in tuncket are the docs on this stuff? Why do Ric and I, and lots of others by inference, have to hit the end of our rope and blow up using 3 and 4 letter words before info such as this is made available? There is something very very wrong with this picture.
