Sounds like they just need some help enabling the menu shortcuts for open office.

Feel free to reopen the bug report if this is not the case.

Please check which theme are you using from menu System → Preferences → Appearance [ Theme ] Tab

Then try to install the OpenOffice related style package for example

sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-style-crystal

Below the installable OpenOffice styles:

openoffice.org-style-andromeda - Default symbol style for OpenOffice.org
openoffice.org-style-crystal - Crystal symbol style for OpenOffice.org
openoffice.org-style-default -
openoffice.org-style-hicontrast - Hicontrast symbol style for OpenOffice.org
openoffice.org-style-human - Human symbol style for OpenOffice.org
openoffice.org-style-industrial - Industrial symbol style for OpenOffice.org
openoffice.org-style-tango - Tango symbol style for OpenOffice.org

To install all OpenOffice style:

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:
(if the system ask you a password give your user password, you will not see nothing when you type it, then press enter)

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-style-*

Hope this helps
