I have been experimenting with this, and I think I can see what is
happening. You don't say what version you are using, but in my 2.3.1
for Windows XP, the Accept or Reject Changes dialogue window works in
a way that surprised me. (Perhaps I'm easily surprised.)
The dialogue window contains two tabbed panels (List and Filter), and
the whole thing comes in a default size, with the panels nicely
filling the window. The window can be resized in both directions,
though there is a minimum permitted size, also in each
direction. The minimum size appears to be slightly smaller than the
default. As you resize the window, the panels resize as well, even
shrinking sufficiently if you choose a size which is smaller than the
default in either direction.
So far, so good. But the strange behaviour is that each time you
open the window, even though the window size is remembered between
uses (even across closing and reopening OpenOffice), the panels start
off at the default size, whatever the size of the window. As soon as
you change the window size (in either direction), the panels
immediately resize appropriately. But this does mean that the panels
can initially be either too small to make sensible use of the window
or - as in your case - too large for you to see either or both of the
right edge of the panels or the crucial buttons at the
bottom. (Unlike with some dialogue windows, the buttons here are
*on* the List panel itself.)
The solution is simple, of course. If you just resize the dialogue
window slightly (in either direction), the panels should resize (in
your case, shrink) to enable you to see everything. And if you
enlarge the dialogue window sufficiently that the default panel size
can (just?) be accommodated, you should find that the problem goes
away permanently. To do this, drag the dialogue window size to be
quite a bit larger, close it and reopen it, and then careful resize
it so as just to accommodate the default panels you will then see.
Exactly how the panels fit into the window depends on the choice of
font for the user interface (see Tools | Options... | OpenOffice.org
| View | User Interface | Use system font for user
interface). Perhaps it depends on the screen resolution, too.
I trust this helps.

I also use 2.3.1 with WindowsXP. Yes, if I make the dialog box just a bit
larger (wider either to the left or to the right, higher, or longer) the
buttons appear.
If I close the dialog box (with the X in the upper right corner of the dialog
box) and reopen the dialog box, then the buttons do not appear and I have to
again make the dialog box just a bit bigger in any direction to see buttons.
That is something I can do know that I know what is going on.
I think the need to enlarge the dialog box should be removed from OpenOffice.
I do not know how to enter an issue (I think that is what it is called) on the
OpenOffice website. Is there someone who will enter the the dialog box issue?
