This is why I don't update my fairly old copy of OOo.  In my case I ran 
into the problem of poor support for compound words in the spellcheck 
dictionary.  I have had to enter well over 1000 compound words into the 
dictionary, and for that reason I really don't feel like having to start 
over.  I know many commercial programs have this fault as well, a good 
example is the Apple iTunes program which does a complete download and 
replacement for every version, which is why I won't let it update until 
a major version change, (when the number in column 1 changes.)
