Here's a tip from Dave Richards -- you can make the gallery float, so that you can position it in a more convenient place in your work area.

Choose Tools > Gallery, and you get the clip art and categories on your system. (You can click on each of these images to see a bigger version.)
Fixing problem OpenOffice files by unzipping, mixing, and matching

One of the great things about OpenOffice.org is that you can open corrupted Word files with it. Or Word files that are just too big to open in Word, open fine in OpenOffice Writer.

In that case, the best approach is surgery.
