[KLUG Members] Open Office won't save, crashes

[bill]

No, I haven't installed anything on this RH 7.3 setup except Open Office.  If
Java isn't already on there it won't have it.

Do you think saving documents requires Java?

You mention you needed Java to do a Samba presentation.  Does Samba require
Java?
