I am running Fedora 12 x86_64, but this problem goes back to earlier versions. (In fact, I think I recall some discussion of it on the list a year or so ago, but I couldn't find that when I searched so maybe I'm imagining it.) I have some colleagues who prefer to use Word (even to edit LaTeX source files!), partly because change tracking sometimes makes it a lot easier to keep up with what's happening to multi-author manuscripts. So I need to use OpenOffice's change tracking and I set Tools -> Options -> Writer -> Changes to color the changes "by author". That works fine in the particular session, but once I close OpenOffice, the setting is lost and I have to redo the setting every time I start OpenOffice. I asked about this on the Writer forum at OpenOffice.org and was told to remove my profile (which I had already tried) and, if that didn't work, to install the rpms from Sun. I used yum to remove all the OpenOffice stuff and installed the Sun rpms to see if it made a difference, but that version keeps crashing when I start it up. I imagine there's something I need to reconfigure (I was told on the forum that "there are several threads here about install under Fedora"), but before I put in the time to see if I can make the Sun rpms work and then find out whether they have the change tracking settings problem, I thought I'd ask here and see if anyone else is having this problem with change tracking or has a solution with the Fedora rpms. Thanks, George
