Perhaps it would be better to provide a button to reset Writer to its factory
settings. The earlier trouble report was:

Uninstall glitch--left behind damaging files

My copy of OOo.org became corrupted, and I uninstalled it, or tried to. However,
the uninstall didn't work. Instead, it left behind some damaging files, and,
when, I reinstalled, OOo.org still didn't work. I was TERRIFIED that I was going
to have to dump OOo.org entirely and switch to MS Word, or try to.

The damaging files in question contained what is called a "profile." The
uninstall should have done a clean uninstall, and uninstalled this, too.

OOo.org 2.2.1 Writer
Windows XP Home Service Pack 2
Dell Dimension 2400 Desktop with 256 MB, plenty of CPU and hard drive capacity
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.4

Currently this can be achieved by deleting the config directory
"OpenOffice.org2" in "c:\documents and settings\$username\Application data".

Could be a useful enhancement, I think, for all OOo Applications.
