This popup message appears on opening any of my open office documents. On clicking it, the document immediately closes.
Have been using Open Office for over a month now, with no problem.
This problem is reported as a bug, name "index outofbounds", but apparently has not been resolved.
Any suggestions?

If your question is answered, please go to your first post, select the Edit button, and add [Solved] to the beginning of the title.
From which site did you download? We only recommend http://www.openoffice.org/download
which will redirect to SourceForge where the files are stored. The download should start automatically in about five seconds.
I suggest uninstalling the existing OpenOffice, and installing from a fresh download from the above site.
But you already have LibreOffice "on board". Are you really sure that you need OpenOffice too?
Please, edit this topic's initial post and add "[Solved]" to the subject line if your problem has been solved.
Ubuntu 18.04 with LibreOffice 6.0, latest OpenOffice and LibreOffice
A lot has happened since my last post - Am now using kubuntu 14.10, Uninstalled Libre Office (because I don't like it!) downloaded Apache OpenOffice v4.1.1_Linux_x86-64 from http://www.openoffice.org/download.
Have the same problem as previous: as soon as I attempt to make any change (type one character, add 1 space etc), the "index out of bounds" popup message appears. Will not allow any further action on the document until I click the "index out of bounds OK button". The document then closes.
I suspect the problem is arising because LibreOffice hasn't been properly uninstalled from your computer. If you have Synaptic installed, open it and see if it finds any LibreOffice components.

Sure is popular - tried over a dozen - no results. I'll go searching the rest of the day - see what I can find.
Thanks so much for your expediant help - It is much appreciated for a 801/2 year young guy!!
