Re: Printing envelopes says paper is too small

One last suggestion from me. Use Revo Uninstaller Free https://www.revouninstaller.com/revo-uninstaller-free-download/ and use it to remove both AOO and Java. Use the most aggressive settings.

Looks like you don't have a JRE installed. Download the correct JRE here https://www.oracle.com/java/technologie ... loads.html. Mkae sure that you download the correct version. You need the 32bit version for AOO.
Your Java screen should look like this:

Re: Malewarebytes quarantined OpenOffice

I'm running Malwarebytes Premium and Libreoffice and have never had any issues. As FJCC said verify that you downloaded it from the official site http://www.openoffice.org/download/. I would uninstall what you have and install a clean copy from the download link. Also do a thorough scan for malware.
