Does the folder exist?

Have you tried renaming ~/.openoffice.org

and relaunching the openoffice app

I've tried these things: In the Terminal, I changed documents to Documents and so OpenOffice word could "Save As" to there. But it was still documents (small d) on the Places menu, so I could't click on Places documents without an error message. Messing around with File Manager or some such, documents switched to Documents for about 15 seconds on the Places menu and then DISAPPEARED. Its possible to go back through Home Folder and eventually find and utilize Documents but it isn't real neat and tidy/

Maybe its possible that this problem could in some way be related to a problem with jArchive Manager installation. For a while now, when Archive Manager is installed, I can't access any folders on the Places menu except for Computer. For all except Computer, there's an Archive Manager window and an error message. Uninstall Archive Manager and the problem goes away but no compression/decompression. I still have 9.04 installed (trying to find out how to uninstall it and not harm anything) and Archive Manager seems to work O.K. there. I do notice it's a previous version of file-roller

Mostly dragging and dropping, Documents is back on Places menu lighter a few unimportant files.The Archive Manager problem hasn't been solved.

Yeah .....I lost the entire year of payments for rent that I kept in OO. SUCKS! Kept saving it every week and was fine until 3 weeks ago.

I think that you accidentally deleted your file, I would suggest to go
to the recycle bin and look for it there. :)
