I recently upgraded to Leopard and everytime I start OOo it gives me a "Command Time Out" error. It doesn't really effect the functionality/performance but it's irritating and I'm sure its a simple fix. Would appreciate your help.

I've downloaded the open office app. from http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/download/ but everytime I try to start it - it hangs and gives me the X11 window. I am not being able to install it even when I delete the application and re-download and re-install it. Help!!
I tried opening it in Microsoft Word (2007) and it wont work. Tried it in OOO and that doesn't work either. Any ideas on how I could go about doing this? Any plug-ins that would help??

What has been other members experience with OpenOffice and Calc in particular? Are there any options/settings that I could change to improve the speed or prevent it from crashing when working with large files? Thanks!
