But, as I was writing a reply to you, I got an idea, which was to use your syntax, with "yum remove" and it did remove 10 packages. :-)

OK. I have OpenOffice.org Writer 3.1 open. :-) There is a big problem with the way the .docx file was displayed. It is not pretty. I can see most or all of the words, but they are not where they should be. A formatting problem that I can fix?
Thank you, again, for sharing your time and expertise. Much appreciated! Lanny
Most probably a font problem you can fix.
Look for msttcorefonts there is a spec file you download to build the rpm, pre-requisites are rpm-build, redhat-rpm-config, cabextract (epel), maybe make.
Put the spec file in /usr/src/redhat/SPEC then from that directory run 'rpmbuild -ba msttcorefonts.spec' and after it downloads, extracts and builds the rpm it should be in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch. Just rpm - ivh it from there and save a copy for future use.
Sometimes the font mirrors hang, so if it hangs downloading something just ctrl-c out of it and re-run the rpmbuild.
