Is there enough free space left on your drive to save the file? Is that the problem? (Its often my trouble)

Ok, please can you update OpenOffiec using Synaptic Package Manager?

System Manager menu on top taskbar - Administration - Synaptic is near the end

Click the 'Mark all Upgrades' button and then 'Apply'

Please let us know if that solves the problem or if you are still having trouble
Thanks & good luck

Tom

Please make sure your system is fully updated upgraded...

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

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get --fix-missing install
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Try OpenOffice... if you a still in trouble... please reinstall OpenOffice, from terminal type:

sudo apt-get --purge --reinstall install openoffice

Hope this helps
