There have been a couple of cases in Apache OpenOffice, where updating 
the user profile does not work and the program crashes on start. All 
cases were solved by using a new user profile. See first item in 
http://www.openoffice.org/development/releases/3.4.1.html#AOO3.4.1ReleaseNotes-KnownIssues

Unfortunately there exists no tool to import single items from an old 
user profile.

Kind regards
