When the user profile is reset by deleting or renaming ...\user, AOO creates a
new default user profile and the user loses all their user dictionary words,
word completion items etc, and, strangely, all their macros! See Issue 126952 -
Resetting the profile loses all macros (and events too?) (and on upgrade or
re-install?).

As I believe it is only necessary to create a new registrymodifications.xcu
file I think that what is required is:

1  Close AOO 
2  Rename ...\user to ...\user-old
3  Start AOO - this creates a new ...\user
4  Close AOO
5  Copy the new registrymodifications.xcu file to ...\user_old
6  Delete ...\user
7  Rename ...\user_old to ...\user

Note:  AOO MUST be closed for Step 5. 

If AOO was started with the original, faulty registrymodifications.xcu, and
registrymodifications.xcu is replaced, then when AOO closes, it writes back the
original (plus any changes made while AOO was open) registrymodifications.xcu
from memory and overwrites the new one.

Many forum posters have followed that technique successfully.  It is also
documented in Hagar's [Tutorial] The OpenOffice User Profile at
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=12426

Also see Issue 127157 - Styles and Formatting window does not open - apparent
cause is corrupted registrymodifications.xcu file.
