Your documents are still wherever you saved them. What has been lost is the list of the names of recent documents kept by OpenOffice. If you know the folder where your files were saved, you can use the menu File -> Open to navigate there and open them. If you do not know where the files are saved, you can try File -> Open and see if it happens to take you to the correct location. If not, you will have to search for the files on your computer. How to do that depends on what operating system you have, Windows or Mac or something else.
