Here is another hint that could point to a possible root cause.

Isn't this the same problem you got?

        OK, a possible root cause less.

            /Question:/
            /You suggested, I should try to start Writer from Terminal./
            /How can I do this? I am really not so familiar with all
            these commands./

        that should be simple. You just open the terminal and enter the
        following command:

        soffice

        If this results in an unknown command, then please use it with
        the full
        path. It depends where you have installed it in your system. E.g.,

        /opt/openoffice4/program/soffice

        The output until the error message appears could be helpful.
        Fore this
        purpose start OpenOffice and then open a document that shows
        that error
        message. After that please post the complete text here.

        Thanks

        Marcus

            do you have macros inside the document? Please have a look
            via the menu
            "Tools - Macros - Organize Macros - Basic" (German: "Extras
            - Makros -
            Makros verwalten - Basic")?
            If so, it's up to you to decide if you still need them -
            then you have
            to adjust parts to run correctly. Then there is good chance
            that the
            document will open without error messages. Or to delete them.

            Please make sure you have made a backup before deleting
            things that you
            still need.
