Have you tried to reset the profile? It may help.

Thanks! I so appreciate your thoughts.
I had already saved in .odt quite a few times,
this was even a "save as" .odt file i was
working on. I had imported it from .doc over a
week (and many many saves) ago. I had not gone
back to .doc at all.
I don't have any photos. I do have a table of
contents, several sections (14) and endnotes. I
increased the memory to support this (great
tip!), quit and restarted the program, but the
problems persist.
I forgot to mention a symptom...i noticed it
was acting strange when i tried to highlight
several lines in the endnotes and it only let
me highlight random portion. So I closed the
doc and re-opened. That's when everything went
pear-shaped.
Other ideas?

First, save in native ODF (.odt).
Remember that the .doc import/export filters
have been reverse engineered, you may face
some troubles by continuing using this format.
Always work in .odt and export in .doc when
needed only. This way you keep a secure copy
of your document.
If your document has a lot of objects
(pictures, ...), try to increase the memory
settings (Tools>Preferences>OOo>Memory).
If no change, you can try to reset your user
profile but I doubt it will change anything in
your case:

Hello Forum,
I have been chugging along on a 300 page
manuscript in Open Office. I brought it into
OO from an old (I mean old) version of word.
All was going well until a few minutes ago
when OO seemed to be reading my document very
strangely. The header disappeared, the
endnotes half-disappeared, and when I click
on a number in the text for a note, it takes
me to the note at the end but then others are
missing. I have no idea what happened or why.
When I open the document anew it positions me
somewhere in the middle of it.
I have the sense that it's a viewing issue,
and the file isn't actually screwed up...at
least I hope so. I have no other way of
opening it though.
I quit OO, restarted my computer, and no changes.
It's slightly terrifying. I've been working
on this book for over a year. Any help would
be angelic, truly.
Details:
Involved participants:
Mac OS 10.5.8
Microsoft word v.X for mac (yes i need an entirely new computer, I know)
OpenOffice 3
Thank you!!
