Is it only failing for a specific set of filenames (OOo)?
If so, there has to be a file at "/etc/bash_completion.d/ooffice.sh" for
that purpose, installed by "openoffice.org-common" package.
Otherwise, if completion is not working at all, chances are that during
upgrade your /etc/bash.bashrc was overwritten/changed so that the
completion part was commented out (I think that is the default on
vanilla installs?).
Have a look at /etc/bash.bashrc and search for a comment:
# enable bash completion in interactive shells
and uncomment the lines just after it.
Hope this helps,
Lorenzo.

That file exists, yes*

That does appear to be anywhere but if I source it I still have the problem.
Clarification of the problem: if I do**ls .per<TAB>*
it completes the directory (.personal)but if I try*oocalc .per<TAB>it doesn't complete.If I try other commands, eg** emacs .per<TAB>they seem to complete okay

Mmm... then the auto-completion should be done for the defined mime-types
but as you mentioned, the autocompletion is not being done also for
directories, not just OOo filenames... weird :-?
What's the output of "complete -p | grep oocalc"? I get:

Seems as though there's an old bug report concerning this here:
Look at Drew Parson's post, for instance, where he refers to oocalc not
prompting for autocompletion for files with certain suffixes.
I personally verified his empirical data (-) by creating an empty
directory on my machine and "touching" two files, 'datafile.dat' and
'datafile.txt". oocalc will not autocomplete for the former but will
autocomplete for the latter.
Is your problem related to file suffixes or to something else entirely?

Hi folks with apologies for being busy elsewhere...
The problem for oocalc is when the directory begins with a dot (.) and
partially given, eg
oocalc .per[TAB] won't auto-complete
but
oocalc time[TAB] will auto-complete
Same applies to oowriter
Thanks, Michael

Ah, you mean for "hidden" directories.
For those I neither get the autocomplete when using OOo applications
(oowriter, oocalc...), though it works with the usual bash built-in tools
(e.g., "cat .th[tab]" → it does autocomplete).
Not sure if this behaviour can be tweaked :-?

Completion is implemented in the file /etc/bash_completion
New completion commands may be placed inside the directory
/etc/bash_completion.d
We can list all the current completion routines bound via "complete -p"

Ah! Sure, the above listing, I completely forgot.
Now, if you tell the user what needs to be done to tweak the current
complete routines your post would be even useful.

The -X option's value excludes entries that begin with a dot from the
completion list. I don't know why it is done this way, but changing
it is easy. The lines printed by complete -p are actual bash builtin
command lines, that you can edit and run.
So just run this:
complete -o filenames -d -F _ooexp_ oocalc
and bash will now show files starting with "." when completing (You
can do similar things for the other OO commands). For permanence, add
this line to your .bashrc after /etc/bash_completion is sourced, to
override whatever it does.
I'm too lazy to track down why the -X exclusion is being used. There
might be good reasons for that.
