Ross Walker was right, there is a problem with the 64 bit version of OpenOffice.  I found out from another list that the
64 bit version of the JRE is definitely not compatible with OpenOffice 2.3.  I Uninstaled the 64 bit version, installed the 32
bit version and all works well.  Also found that if you leave the 64 bit versionn on PC, the 32 bit version won't install correctly.

Thanks to  everyone on List for assistance.
