[gentoo-user] openoffice 3.0 problem

[Michael George]

Yesterday I saw that openoffice 3.0 was unmasked for amd64 so I built
and installed it.  It seemed to work fine on a couple test documents
that I opened, but then I ran into a problem with the one which has my
household expense spreadsheets.

I opened it and the data on one of the sheets was there for sure, but
there was no tab bar for moving between the sheets.  I saved a copy of
that spreadsheet into a new file to see if a natively-stored file will
have the same problem.  It did.  I looked to see if there was an option
to turn on the sheet tab bar, but I didn't find any.

So I rebuilt 2.4.1 and tested it on the spreadsheed which I saved with
OOo 3.0.  It also didn't show the tab bar at the bottom!  When I opened
my original with 2.4.1, though, it appears fine.

Has anyone else encountered this type of problem?

Ah, there's the setting for it.  Turning it off and back on brought the
tabs back.  Thanks for the help!
