Open Office doc problem

[Bumpalot]

Am using OpenOffice - removed Libre Office.
It has been working fine for over a month, until today.
On opening any existing document, this pops up:


It recovers successfully, but attempting to type immediately produces this:

On clicking, the document closes.

Any suggestions for a remedy?

I found this on the OpenOffice.org web site

Base Hierarchy

IndexOutOfBoundsException
┗ ::com::sun::star::uno::Exception

Description
This exception is thrown to indicate that a container has been accessed with an illegal index.

The index is either negative or greater than or equal to the count of the elements.

It maybe that the document you were trying to recover had gotten corrupt.

Have you tried to open a blank document in OpenOffice writer, and if you had is it still performing this error?

Thanks for your reply!
None of my existing docs (open office) will open.
I have reinstalled (hopefully) open office explicitly following the Apache sites's instructions.
Rebooted
Cannot start or open a document! What a mess!!
Have found another site

that goes through the whole process from uninstall to finish. Will let you know when it is 'hopefully" successfully.

SUCCESS!! It worked perfectly. What a relief!!
Thanks for all you guys who came to my rescue - much appreciated by an 801/2 year young guy!
