You fail to mention which version of LO and which OS; can you please advise?

If 3.4.x then I *highly* recommend trying 3.3.4 instead. To me it seems
that 3.4.x (3.4.3) is full of bugs and should never have been released
at all, particularly with this statement:

<http://www.libreoffice.org/download/>
<quote>
LibreOffice 3.4.3 Final (2011-08-31)

Safe for production use by most users and enterprises.
</quote>

That statement is, at the very least (again IMO, but can be verified by
the bug reports), wrong. Note: for anyone that disputes that, simply
review the users list and bug reports - you'll find many issues
regarding 3.4.x that are resolved by reverting back to 3.3.x.
