Upon emerging openoffice, it's necessary to choose a jre under tools ,options, openoffice.org, java if you wish to use the wizards. It appears to be impossible to add one and the normal procedure of waiting for installed jre's to show up in the list doesn't work either as they just don't show up. Thereby you cannot use the wizards. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run file, wizards, letter and you get error message about jre 2. 3. Just so you know, the openoffice-bin package does actually work and sees the emul-linux-xe86 java jre's and allows you to choose one. I just hate using it as the interface is so much prettier on the compiled version.
