THANK YOU, ALL!! It is solved, and productivity is mine once again. :)
The Lion OS does hide the Library folder, but Dominik's shift-cmd-G trick was magic. The thread
Jay posted was exactly my problem, and I found the offending filename there:
"org.libreoffice.script.savedState" which was in "Saved Application State" in
the Library. Thank you, Ken for the screen shots and walking me through my Finder
preferences--suddenly I have so much more control over this incredible machine. You all are
right--Mac is amazing. Never going back! :)
Thank you thank you thank you!!
Amy
Awesome. Glad to have been of help a little :-)

Hi :)
Sometimes there is a .lck file hidden inside the back-up folder in the
User-Profile as well as the folder that the original document was being saved
in. A sledge-hammer answer would be to rename the entire User-Profile as shown
in this guide
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile
Although you could use a little finesse to just rename the sub-folder called
"Backups".
Also, expecting yourself to be instantly familiar with an Operating System that
you have not used before after spending years becoming familiar with just 1 is
asking too much of yourself. Don't expect yourself to be instantly expert. A
lot of people find they learn a lot more about both systems during the process
of becoming more familiar with their 2nd one and that often makes it far easier
to get used to a 3rd one more easily. At a guess it has taken years to work
out all the things you know in Windows. It might take a few months to get to
that level in Mac but hopefully it will take just a couple of weeks to break
some old (usually bad but necessary) Windows-habits and to get familiar enough
to use Mac happily. It's a journey that is well worth taking and you will soon
find yourself regretting that you didn't make the move earlier.
I'm not certain but windows with a capital W tends to make people think of Microsoft Windows whereas with a small w is
the type of thing you are talking about. People often get very confused if you use the capital W. Some people try to
use the word "console" instead of "window" just to avoid that whole confusion but it's not widely
known so it too causes confusion. You might have heard the term "terminal console" instead of "command
window" but that's about as far as it goes in 'normal' usage. [Sigh] i guess it's a bit like saying google-it
rather than search-engine-it or hoovering rather than vacuum-cleaning.
Regards from
Tom :)

Thanks for the help, Ken... but I still got nothing. :(
Using the Finder, I found "System Preferences" and "System Information," but no folder
just called "System," and nothing with my computer's name on it. Also no Library folder.
Am I completely Mac illiterate??
Lion is different to Snow Leopard in that it doesn't show you the drives
and also in that it hides the Library folder from the user.
1. Open a Finder window (click on the blue face icon in the Dock - it
will be the first icon from the left)
2. Click on your user name in the left column (it'll have a little house
icon next to it). If your user name doesn't appear in the left column,
enable it in Finder preferences (Finder->Preferences...->Sidebar).
3. Press Shift-cmd-G on the keyboard (this is the equivalent of Go->Go
to Folder.. in the top menu). A little window will pop up. Enter
"Library" (without the quotes) and press Go. Voilà, you're in your
Library folder
4. Go into Application Support and there you have the LibreOffice folder.
Hope this helps,
Dominik

Thanks Jay,
I have the new Lion OS, but I am MAC retarded. ;) Just switched over after
being a
lifetime (and fairly proficient) PC user. Can't for the life of me find this
User folder...
any advice where to look?
Hi, Amy,
Regarding where to look, and this assumes Snow Leopard and Lion are the same:
1. Open a Finder (aka folder window) for the System (boot drive/ C:\ drive
in Windows speak)
2. Open the Users Folder. You can use the twisty triangles if you like, but
I sometimes find the finder window becomes too complicated/filled for this old
mind of mine. Double clicking gives you views somewhat similar to Windows.
3. I think you will find a folder with the name you assigned the computer
when it was new. Double click on that folder.
4. Double click the Library folder.
5. Double click the LibreOffice Folder.
The 3 folder should be there, and opening the 3 folder will give you another
user folder. Macs seem to have user folders everywhere like weeds! LOL
I hope this is the folder Jay is referring to.
Here's a link to a LibreOffice discussion that sounds like the same problem you
are having.
http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/restore-windows-tt3395694.html#none
The discussion contains a link to a similar discussion in the Open Office Forum.
Best of luck.
