Please upload the file either to Forum (upload tab is below Submit button on Post Reply and Fill Editor Screens) or post a link to a filesharing service whence we might download the file.
This will allow the file be examined, and hopefully fixed.

God bless you. Hasn't come through yet. But I'm already grateful. Is there a way I can prevent this from happening in the furture?

Yes - turn off change tracking! It is your file, you should know what changes you make in it. John_Ha may have other recommendations, equally valid.

This is a known bug in AOO, but not in LO, which occurs when
See the attached Test of AOO bug.odt file where Edit > Changes ..., is set to RECORD. Highlight the run of text, delete it, and Save the file. Opening the saved file shows the error.
