marcobra (Marco Braida) proposed the following answer:
Open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and
type, or better copy and paste a row a time then press enter: (if the
system ask you for a password, please give your user password when
requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter)


cd ~

sudo chown --reference=. -R .openoffice.org
sudo chmod -R 0755 .openoffice.org

sudo chown --reference=. -R .openoffice.org2
sudo chmod -R 0755 .openoffice.org2

sudo chown --reference=. -R .openoffice.org3
sudo chmod -R 0755 .openoffice.org3

Then try...

if this dont' solve your issue please remove the directories, still
using terminal cooy and paste, one row a time then press enter :

rm -fr .openoffice.org2
rm -fr $HOME/.openoffice.org  
rm -fr $HOME/.openoffice.org2
rm -fr $HOME/.openoffice.org3

Then try...

Hope this helps
