[NTLUG:Discuss] OT: OpenOffice question

[Bobby Sanders]

Tried with Ubutu OO 3.1 on Ubuntu 9.10.  Simple copy and paste worked
fine.  For some reason I have the following  i18n libraries installed.
(Pick what you need?)

    gutenprint-locales  (Well, I know why this one is installed)
    libmono-*  (* is the bash *)
