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!!
