Hugh. . .
Could you let us know which version of LibreOffice you have?

GIVE this a try, if you are going from 4.0.0 or 4.0.1 to 4.0.2.
Instead of using the Terminal, just run the file from the file manager 
[Places].  The should bring up the Ubuntu Software Center/Manager.  
Sometimes it fixes the "menu" issues I once in a while get.


The only time I have to do that is when upgrading a major version 
change.  4.0.1 to 4.0.2 should not need that.

Yes Ubuntu upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 replaces your  installed 
LibreOffice with the version they use 3.6.4 or something like that. You 
will have to remove the previous package of LibreOffice then. Also is 
you had 3.6.5 installed and wanted to upgrade to 4.0.x, you will need to 
do that as well.

If you f\go from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2, you should not have any "menu" issues.


I run 12.04.  My laptops ran 12.10, but now have 13.04 on it.  The 
problem there is that 13.04 upgrade seems not to install all of the 
modules for their version of 4.0.2.  Calc modulel is installed but 
Writer is not.  Why that happens, I do not know, but all you need to do 
in install is the rest of the modules through the Synaptic Package 
Manager or through the Terminal "sudo dpkg -i *.deb".
