My apologies Hagar, I did not see that link.
I did change the user profile and it is still acting the same strange way.
What i find most odd, is how the notes seem to be
in the doc, but don't show up until i click them.
Other things I wrote in the notes section appear
then too. It's like a hide and seek game. That's
why i think the information is all
there...somewhere.
Is there any other program that you suggest i use
to complete work on this manuscript? Will a new
version of MS word be able to import the .odt
file?
Thanks, i think that's my last question, since nothing has changed. :(

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!!
