What version of KOffice is that, I'm running KWord 1.3 and when I try to open 
an OpenOffice.org (OO.o 1.1.1) file it locks when its at 100% of opening the 
file. Would this have to do with the versions or is it just something 
particular to SUSE Linux. Another thing I've noticed is that the 
OpenOffice.org dictionaries seem to be missing a significant few words in 
SUSE Linux, hopefully that will be fixed in SUSE 9.2 or 10.0 (whichever comes 
first).
