You didn't mention in your post on the forum that you hadn't sourced
AOO from the official download site -
http://www.openoffice.org/download/ - which is free. It is not
impossible that the package you received is not what you would get from
the official site; consider downloading the genuine thing and see if
your issue is resolved.

Dear Folks:
Thank you for Open Office.
I have Apache OpenOffice 4.1.5 on a macOS High Sierra, version 10.13.6..
The footnote/endnote icon does not work. It is displayed but as a dim
icon, not like the rest of the icons on the tool bar that do work. I
went to the Customize Toolbar, clicked a checkmark in the blue field,
which it already was, went back to the Writer page and it did not
change from its dim icon. I have to go to Insert to place a footnote.
The footnote/endnote function is very important to me. I wrote a paper
that is 150 pages long with 500 foot notes. Oh my. That, and the pdf
function that I can attach to an email are major features for me.
I used an early Open Office for many years, before Apache became
involved. LibraOffice came along and it worked and I figured, what the
hey. It worked and the icons were colorful. But they created a new
version with stark icons that remind me of a cemetery. I went back to
Open Office the current Apache version because of the colorful icons
and now the footnote/endnote icon does not work. I regret not keeping
the original Open Office version I down loaded many years ago since it
worked just fine for my use. More Oh my.
I have contacted the Community Forum with responses, but no cures.
If you could direct me to an earlier version of Open Office where
every thing works, I may want to down load it. My use is simple, I use
Writer and almost nothing else.
I purchased an OpenOffice cd and a LibraOffice cd on the internet. I
am using that OpenOffice from that cd.
Thank you.
Bless Your Heart,
Robert W. Burke
