My autoupdate has installed 3.0 and its a bomb.
I tried opening some files I was working on last week with 2.4 and it crashed.
Restarting causes a recovery, that then crashes.
Trying to open without a document causes the recovery of the old document to run ... and then a crash.
Updates seem to be daily, but this is distressing in the mean time. Definitely a work-stopper!

2.4.1 has been great. I'm in no hurry for 3.0 from a "need new features" standpoint, but I can't wait to see the improvements.
Strange, working perfectly here with all documents including ones created using MS Word.
Ciao.
I have been using OpenOffice 2.4.1 Impress to edit powerpoint files. It had worked well until recently when a particular existing ppt file caused it to crash. The automatic recovery didn't work. So I installed the 3.0 version from the Suse repository. It opened the file ok, but I quickly found that if I used anything other than the default, plain background master slide, it would not save as a powerpoint file. Since I need them to be useable in MS Office, that was not acceptable. As an experiment, I removed the OpenSuse version of OpenOffice and installed the version from the OpenOffice site. This installed into my root directory, and seems to work ok. I can save powerpoint files with no problem. The same file occasionally causes OO to crash, but the automatic recovery works, and even provides a useful reporting option. So the question is, why an Opensuse branded version which doesn't work when the OpenOffice version works just fine. The only thing I get with the Suse version is automatic entries in the KDE menu, but I can change those links myself!
